Checking the play in the lower ball joint
1. Not more than 2.3 mm
Examination
The condition of the ball joints should be checked each time the vehicle is lifted.
1. Raise the front of the car.
2. Clean the supports and check the condition of the seals.
3. Raise the vehicle by placing a jack under the lower control arm to relieve the support.
4. Shake the wheel with the mount while checking the play in the support (performed with an assistant). If the play is significant, then replace the support (see fig. Checking the play in the lower ball joint).
5. Rock the top support. Replace support if significant play is found.
6. The support should be checked each time the knuckle or supports are removed.
7. To check, try turning the support pin by hand.
8. If the finger turns by hand, replace the support.
9. The manufacturer recommends a more accurate method.
10. Swing the support pin away from you and towards you 5 times, then tighten the nut.
11. A torque wrench with a scale of several Nm. check the moment of resistance to turning the finger.
12. Turn the finger with the key, making 1 turn in 2-4 seconds. On the 5th revolution, check the torque reading and compare with the standard (see subsection 9.1).
13. If the moment differs from the norm, then replace the support.
Replacing the top support
