(b) Using a torque wrench, turn the nut continuously at a rate of 3 to 5 seconds per turn and take the torque reading on the fifth turn.
Turning torque:
1.0 N*m (10 kgf*cm, 9 in.*lbf) or less
If the turning torque is not within the specified range, replace the rear stabilizer link assembly with a new one.
