Note


  • When the brake pedal is first depressed after replacing the brake pads or pushing back the disc brake piston, DTC C1341, C1342, C1343 and/or C1344 may be stored. As there is no malfunction, clear the DTCs.

  • While the battery is connected, even if the engine switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or any door courtesy switch is turned on. Therefore, when servicing, do not depress the brake pedal or open/close the doors while the battery is connected.

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

  3. REMOVE FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B000TTR

      Remove the clip and nut.

    2. Install 2 SST (spacer A) onto the front lower suspension arm assembly LH so that there is a space of approximately 1 mm (0.0394 in.) between the arm and spacers.

      SST

      *a SST (Spacer A) *b 1 mm (0.0394 in.)
      *c Spacer *d Center Nut
      *e Body *f Claw
      *g Parallel *h String

      Note


      • Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer A) as the steering knuckle spacer may shift.

      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or less.

    3. Using SST, disconnect the front lower suspension arm assembly LH from the steering knuckle assembly LH.

      Note


      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.

      • Do not damage the dust cover.

      • As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and claw are parallel.

      • Make sure to tie the string of SST to the vehicle to prevent SST from dropping.

      Note


      • Make sure to install the attachment (SST attachment) as the lower No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH spacer may shift.

      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 2 mm (0.0787 in.) or less.

    4. Using SST, disconnect the lower No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH from the steering knuckle assembly LH.

      SST
      09628-50010   ( 09628-05010 )

      Note


      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.

      • Do not damage the dust cover.

      • As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and crow are parallel.

      • Do not apply a torque of 160 N*m (1631 kgf*cm, 118 ft.*lbf) or more to SST as it may be damaged.
