2. TOE CONTROL ARM SLIDE BUSHING OPERATING
TORQUE CHECK
(1) Insert a bolt into the slide bushing of the toe control arm.
Fit a washer onto the bolt from the opposite end and
screw a nut onto it. Turn the inner cylinder (together with
the washer) several turns, then measure the toe control
arm slide bushing operating torque using the special tool.
Standard value: 0.2 – 1.5 Nm {2 – 15 kgf@cm}
(2) If the measurement exceeds the standard value, replace
the toe control arm assembly.
(3) If the measurement falls short of the standard value, check
that the slide bushing turns smoothly without excessive
play. If so, the slide bushing should still be in good condition
for continued use.
