| CONTROL LINK/UPPER ARM/LOWER ARM PILLOW BALL BUSHING STARTING TORQUE CHECK
| Check each pillow ball bushing as follows. Insert the mounting bolt to the pillow ball bushing. In the opposite direction, insert a washer, then install the mounting nut.
| After rotating the inner sleeve (contained washer) several times, measure the starting torque of the pillow ball bushing using special tool preload socket (MB990326). Standard value: 0.5 - 3.0 N·m If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the control link, the upper arm, or the lower arm pillow ball bushing. If the measured value is lower than the standard value, check that the pillow ball bushing turns smoothly without excessive play. If there is no excessive play and it turns smoothly, the pillow ball bushing can be reused.
