FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:

  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE

  1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL FRONT LOWER NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH

    1. Temporarily install the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly LH to the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and nut.

      Note:

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut fixed in place.

  2. INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY

    1. Support the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with an engine lifter using 4 attachments or equivalent tools.

      Note:

      • Make sure to secure the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly to prevent it from dropping.

      • Use the attachments to keep the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly level.

      • The front suspension crossmember sub-assembly is a heavy component. Make sure that it is supported securely.

    2. Tighten the 2 bolts on the left and right sides while alternately inserting SST into the left and right side reference holes in the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly.
