Using a wrench or similar tool to secure the ball studs at
Tboth ends of the stabilizer link, tighten the mounting nuts.
1. INSTALLATION OF STABILIZER BAR MOUNTING NUT
Tighten the nut on the stabilizer bar bolt to the specified
distance.Standard value:
Protruding length of stabilizer bar

INSPECTIONNO2TCAFl Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.
l Check the stabilizer bar for deterioration or damage.
l Check the stabilizer link ball joint dust cover for cracks.
l Check all bolts for condition and straightness.
CHECKING OF STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT FOR START-ING TORQUE
(1) If a crack is noted in the dust cover, replace it, adding
(2)
~~f~~~t side to side the stabilizer link ball joint stud several
times.
(3) Mount two nuts on the ball joint, and then measure the balljoint starting torque.
Standard value: 1.7-3.2 Nm (15-28
in.lbs.)(4) If the starting torque exceeds the upper limit of standard
value, replace the stabilizer link.
(5) Even if the starting torque is below the lower limit of the
standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it has
drag and excessive play.

OUTER RACE
Press-fit the drive pinion rear and front bearing outer racesinto the gear carrier by using the special tools.
CautionBe careful not to press in the outer race at an angle.
l ADJUSTMENT OF PINION HEIGHT
Adjust the drive pinion height by the following procedures:
(1) Install special tools and drive pinion front and rear
bearing inner races on the gear carrier in the sequenceshown in the illustration.
NOTEApply a thin coat of multipurpose grease to the mating
face of the washer of the special tool.
Specified grease: MOPAR Multi-Mileage Lubricant
Part No.2525035 or equivalent
(2) Tighten the handle of the special tool until the standardvalue of drive pinion turning torque is obtained.
(3) Measure the drive pinion turning torque (without the oil
seal).Standard value:
Rotation torque
(starting friction torque)Nm
(in.lbs.)
I
NoneNew(with rust-I0.9-1.2 (8-10)prevention oil)New/reused Oil application
NOTE
0.4-0.5 (3-4)(I) Gradually tighten the nut of the special tool while
checking the drive pinion turning torque.
(2) Because the special tool cannot be turned one turn, turnit several times within the range that it can be turned;then, after fitting to the bearing, measure the rotation
torque.

(7) Install the drive pinion assembly and companion flange
with mating marks properly aligned, and tighten the
companion flange self-locking nut to the specified
torque by using the special tools.
(8)Measure the drive pinion turning torque (with oil seal) toverify that the drive pinion turning torque complies with
the standard value.
Standard value:
Rotation torque
(starting friction torque)Nm
(in.lbs.)
IIIIIf there is a deviation from the standard value, check
whether or not there is incorrect tightening torque of
the companion flange tightening self-lock nut, or incor-
rect fitting of the oil seal.
. ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENTIAL GEAR BACKLASH
Adjust the differential gear backlash by the following
procedures:(1) Assemble the side gears, side gear spacers, pinion
gears, and pinion washers into the differential case.
