  3. REMOVE LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B004ARO

      Remove the nut.

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

      *g Parallel *h String

      Note


      • Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer A) as the rear axle carrier sub-assembly LH 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 lower control arm assembly LH from the rear axle carrier sub-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.

    4. B004BF7

      Remove the bolt, nut and lower control arm assembly LH.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

  4. DISCONNECT REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B004BBX

      Remove the bolt and nut, disconnect rear stabilizer link assembly LH from the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH.
