INSPECTION
- Check the bushings for wear and deterioration.

- Check all bolts for condition and straightness.
STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT ROTATION TORQUE CHECK
1. Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud back and forth for several times, install the stud with nut, and measure the stabilizer link ball joint rotation torque using the preload socket (Special tool: MB990326).
Standard value: 0.5 − 2.9 N*m (4.4 − 25.7 in-lb)
2. When the measured value exceeds the standard range, replace the stabilizer link.
3. When the measured value is lower than the standard value, check the stabilizer link ball joint that there is no looseness or gritty feeling. If there is no looseness or gritty feeling, it is judged as usable.
STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT COVER CHECK
1. Using your fingers, press the dust cover to check for a crack or damage.
2. If the dust cover has a crack or damage, replace the stabilizer link.
NOTE: If the dust cover has a crack or damage, the ball joint could be damaged. If the dust cover is damaged during maintenance, replace it.
