  3. REMOVE REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B004V4G

      Remove the nut.

    2. Install 2 SST (spacer A) onto the rear No. 1 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 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 rear No. 1 suspension 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. B004VCHC01
      B004SZX Bolt
      B004UK4 Nut

      Remove the nut, washer, bolt and rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH from the rear suspension member sub-assembly.

  6. REMOVE REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B004WZJ

      Remove the nut.

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

      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 rear upper control arm assembly LH from the rear axle carrier sub-assembly LH.

      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02010 )

      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. B004V2ZC01
      B004SZX Bolt
      B004UK4 Nut

      Remove the nut, washer, bolt and rear upper control arm assembly LH.

      Note
