DisposalINFOID:0000000009460629
1. Set strut assembly horizontally with the piston rod fully extended.
2. Drill 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in) hole at the position ( ) from top as shown to release gas gradually.
CAUTION:
• Wear eye protection (safety glasses).
• Wear gloves.
• Be careful with metal chips or oil blown out by the com- pressed gas.
NOTE:
• Drill vertically in this direction ( ).
• Directly to the outer tube avoiding brackets.
• The gas is clear, colorless, odorless, and harmless.
3. Position the drilled hole downward and drain oil by moving the piston rod several times. CAUTION:
Dispose of drained oil according to the law and local regulations.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
1. Move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
2. Hook a spring balance (A) at pinch bolt location. Confirm spring balance measurement value is within specifications when ball
stud begins moving.
- If swing torque exceeds standard range, replace transverse link.
Axial End Play Inspection
1. Move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
2. Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.
