TRANSVERSE LINK

Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000001716885

REMOVAL

1.

Remove front tires using power tool.

2.

Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.

3.

Remove transverse link nuts and bolts, then remove transverse
link from front suspension member.
NOTE:
When removing LH transverse link it may be necessay to lower
the suspension member in order to remove bolts to avoid con-
tact with the transaxle.

a.

Set jack under front suspension member.

b.

Loosen RH upper link bolts, LH upper link bolt (front suspension
member side), front suspension member bolts (left/right). Lower
the front suspension member in order to remove transverse link
bolts.

4.

Remove transverse link.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Visual Inspection

Check the following:
• Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
• Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if necessary.

Ball Joint Inspection

Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.

Swing Torque Inspection

NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
• Hook a spring balance at the cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring

balance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.

• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assem-

bly.

Axial End Play Inspection

• Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.

• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assembly.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torque, refer to 

FSU-9, "Component"

 .

• Perform final tightening of bolts and at the front suspension member installation position (rubber bushing)

under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to 

FSU-6, "Wheel Align-

ment Inspection"

 .
