TRANSVERSE LINK

TRANSVERSE LINKPFP:54500
Removal and InstallationBES0003Q
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle.
2. Remove fixing nut and bolt of transverse link ball joint, and then separate transverse link from steering
knuckle.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection

Check transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks, and other damage. Replace transverse link if
there are.

Check ball joint boot for cracks, damage, and leakage of grease. Replace transverse link if there are.
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
CAUTION:
Move the ball joint at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement before measuring.

Hook a spring balance at the cotter pin mounting hole. Make
sure that the spring balance measurement value is within the
specified value when ball stud begins moving.

Replace transverse link if value is outside the standard.
Rotating Torque Inspection

Install nut to the ball stud, and make sure that the rotating torque
is within the standard using a preload gauge [SST].Swing torque:
0.5 – 3.4 N·m (0.06 – 0.34 kg-m, 5 – 30 in–lb)
Spring balance measurement:
13.5 – 91.9 N (1.4 – 9.3kg, 3.08 – 20.5 lb)
SEIA0523E
Rotating torque:
0.5 – 3.4 Nm (0.06 – 0.34 kg-m 5 – 30 in–lb)

Axial End Play Inspection

Move tip of ball joint in the axial direction to check for looseness.

Replace transverse link if value is outside the standard.
INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-7, "Components" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Perform final tightening of each under unladen conditions, with tires on level ground if when removing sus-
pension components.Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

Adjust the neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for models with
VDC. Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" . Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
