ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION
WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES
NOTE: See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article
in the WHEEL ALIGNMENT section.
WHEEL BEARING
Wheel bearings are not adjustable. Whenever bearings are
removed, replace with NEW bearings, races, and oil seals.
BALL JOINT CHECKING
1) Raise vehicle enough to place a wooden block with a height
of 7.1-7.9" (180-200 mm) under each front tire. Lower jack until about
half vehicle load is on front struts. Position safety stands under
vehicle.
2) Set front wheels to straight-ahead position, and block
them. Pry control arm up and down. Inspect for vertical play in ball
joint. If ball joint is damaged or any vertical play exists, replace
ball joint. See LOWER CONTROL ARM & BALL JOINT under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION.
