MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES 10-27
Steering rod ball joints
Check
1.Check condition of ball joints and dust covers,
and security of fixings.

+ TORQUE WRENCH SETTINGS,
Steering.
2.Attempt to move the ball joints forwards,
backwards, side to side and up and down. No
end float in any direction should be detected. If
end float is present, the ball joint must be
renewed.
Dampers and SLS height sensors
Check – Dampers
Front dampers
Rear dampers
1.Check dampers for security and signs of
leakage.
