0000

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 starting torque using the preload socket
(Special tool: MB990326).

Standard value: 0.5 to 2.9 N·m (4.4 to 26 in-lb)

When the measured value exceeds the standard range,
replace the stabilizer link.

If the measured value stays within the standard range, and
there is looseness or gritty feeling, the component is judged
as unusable and should be replaced.

Using your fingers, press the dust cover to check for a crack
or damage.

If the dust cover has a crack or damage, replace the stabilizer
link.
