(b) Install the nut to the stud bolt.
(c) Flip the ball joint back and forth 5 times.
(d) Set a torque wrench to the nut, turn the ball joint continuously at a rate of 2 to 4 seconds per turn, and check the turning torque on the 5th turn.
Standard turning torque:
0.49 to 3.43 N*m (5.0 to 35.0 kgf*cm, 4.3 to 30.3 in.*lbf)
HINT:
