7. Remove bushing of lower link spindle from frame with Tool.
8. After installing lower link, adjust wheel alignment and vehicle
height. Refer to ``Front Wheel Alignment'', ``ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE'', FA-7.
INSPECTION
Lower link and lower link spindle
lCheck for deformation and cracks. Replace if necessary.
Lower link bushing
lCheck for distortion and damage. Replace if necessary.
Upper Ball Joint and Lower Ball Joint
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
lSeparate knuckle spindle from upper and lower links.
Refer to ``Knuckle Spindle'', ``FRONT AXLE'', FA-18.
INSPECTION
lCheck joints for play. If ball is worn and play in axial direc-
tion is excessive or joint is hard to swing, replace as a upper
link or lower link.

Towing Point
Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid damaging the vehicle body, use proper
towing equipment when towing.
VEHICLE RECOVERY (Freeing a stuck vehicle)
lPulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any
part of the suspension, steering, brake or cooling systems.
lAlways pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the
vehicle. Never pull the vehicle at a sideways angle.
lPulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not rec-
ommended for use for vehicle towing or recovery.
