WAR NING :
Situate the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.
If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
Always use the support point specified for lifting.
Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-42, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift" .

and to prevent the ball joint remover (suitable tool) from
suddenly coming off.
4. Remove cotter pin of transverse link and steering knuckle, and
then loosen nut.
5. Remove transverse link from steering knuckle so as not to dam-
age ball joint boot using the ball joint remover (suitable tool).
CAUTION:

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check components for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace if there are.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-14, "
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL" , “TRANSVERSE LINK”, PS-22, "INSPECTION AFTER DISAS-
SEMBLY" , “POWER STEERING GEAR”.
