the measured value must be within the specification. If the reading is outside the specification, replace socket.
Rotating Torque
Using a preload gauge (SST), check if reading is within the range specified. If the value is outside the standard, replace outer sockets.
Axial End Play
Apply load of 490 N (50 kg, 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 the specified. If the value is outside the standard, replace outer and inner sockets.
