8. Measuring Axial Displacement of Ball Joint of Tie-rod Complete (On car)
Upon inspection, if tie-rod is found to
be abnormally loose, measure its axial
displacement in the following manner.
If
the displacement is not within the
limit, replace tie-rod.
1) Boot must be moved aside. Clean
all mud off tie-rod.
2) Remove boot from gearbox, and
move it toward tie-rod end as far as it
will go. Do not allow clip on the small
end of boot to come off. Remove the
boot's small end from the tie-rod
groove first and then the large end.
Next move boot aside.

If it is extremely soiled with mud or
rusty due to the entering of muddy
water, replace both tie-rod CP and
boot.
3) Set a dial gauge as shown.
Place push rod end
on socket end face.
Move boot to tie-rod
end and hold it
stationary with
adhesive tape.

under vehicle while the other turns
steering wheel
15°
to

left several times.
If the reading exceeds the limit,
replace tie-rod CP with a new one.
