Using Tool, check if reading is within the value specified. If the value is outside the standard, replace outer sockets.
Tool number : ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)
Rotating torque : 0.3 - 2.9 Nm (0.03 - 0.29 kg-m, 3.25 inch lbs.)
Outer Socket and Inner Socket Axial End Play
Apply load of 490 N (50 kgf, 110 lbs.) to ball stud axially. Use a dial gauge to measure the amount of the movement that the stud makes. Check if the
reading is within specification. If the value is outside specification, replace outer and inner sockets.
Outer socket : 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) or less
Inner socket : 0.2 mm (0.008 inch) or less
