  • Clean the general area of the joint to prevent debris from entering the joint. Clean the area using only mild liquids.
NOTE:
  • Bounce the vehicle to make sure that the suspension is in its normal, at-rest position.
  1. Check the toe setting using suitable wheel alignment equipment.
    NOTE:
