Manual Description
SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS) 16, when installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be carried out under unladen conditions with tires, unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full, after servicing suspension parts, be sure check wheel alignment.

The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here, measuring sliding torque ball joint, nOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) TROUBLESHOOTING, use chart below to help you find the cause of the symptom.

Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component component statues (wear, iNSPECTION OF TRANSVERSE LINK END PLAY, set front wheels in a straight-ahead position, measure axial end play of transverse link ball joint by prying between suspension arm front axle with.

A iron bar something similar, be careful not to damage ball joint boot, check strut for oil leakage, damage replace necessary, measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.

Check tires for improper air pressure wear, check wheel bearing axial end play, check transverse link ball joint axial end play, check each mounting point of axle and suspension looseness deformation.

Check each link, rod, and member for cracks, deformation other damage, iNSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES, camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted, before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge.

Same height so vehicle will remain horizontal, remove wheel nuts (3), and install a guide bolt (SST) hub, screw adapter (SST) into plate body (SST) until it contacts body, screw center plate (SST) into plate body (SST).

Insert plate (SST) on guide bolt (SST), evenly screw in guide bolt nut (SST), nut, do not completely compress spring, place the dent of alignment gauge onto projection center.

Plate (SST) and tightly contact them measure, refer to "SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS)", if camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle outside, the standard, check front suspension parts wear.

Damage, and replace suspect parts necessary, q Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required, measure toe-in using following procedure, always perform the following procedure flat surface.

Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it, the same height of hub center, push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2, if wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try.

Above procedure again from the beginning, remove suspension assembly with engine assembly from vehicle, remove brake caliper with power tool, do not pull wheel sensor harness.

Refer to "Components" for tightening torque, refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts, perform final tightening of strut assembly lower side (rubber bushing) under unladen conditions with tires, make sure piston rod on strut is not damaged when removing components strut assembly.

When installing strut attachment (SST) to strut, wrap shop, cloth around strut to protect it damage, using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), compress.
