Front Stabilizer Bar: Inspection
- Check the stabilizer bar for deterioration and damage.
- Check all bolts for damage and deformation.
- Check the stabilizer link dust cover for cracks or damage.
- Check the stabilizer link ball joint for rotating torque.
- If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
- Shake the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times.
- Mount the self-locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Standard value
0.7~2 Nm (7~20 kgf.cm, 0.52~1.48 lbf.ft)
- If the rotating torque is higher than the upper limit of the standard value, replace the stabilizer link.
- If the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it has drag and excessive play.
