CHECK
Check each pillow ball bushing as follows.
1. Insert the mounting bolt to the pillow ball bushing.
In the opposite direction, insert a washer, then
install the mounting nut.
2. After rotating the inner sleeve (contained washer)
several times, measure the rotation starting
torque of the pillow ball bushing using special tool
preload socket (MB990326).
Standard value: 0.5 − 3.0 N⋅m
3. If the measured value exceeds the standard
value, replace the control link, the upper arm, or
the lower arm pillow ball bushing.
