at each end.
Figure 2-9. Ball Joint Assembly (Quattro HS shown)
CAUTION: Ensure that the bearing insert is in place in the end of
each outer arm. If an insert has fallen out of the arm, press it back
into place, ensuring that the insert is centered and bottomed-out in
the ball joint socket.
NOTE: In the following steps, take care not to trap debris between the ball studs
and their sockets.
NOTE: The procedure for attaching outer arms is the same for all platforms.
1. Attach one pair of outer arms to each inner arm.
a. As illustrated in the following figure, this is most easily achieved by pivoting the
two arms away from each other lengthwise.
This requires the least stretching of the spring to attach the ball joints.
b. Slip one ball joint socket over the corresponding ball stud.
