REAR LOWER ARM (for 2WD) INSTALLATION

STABILIZE SUSPENSION

1. 

   Jack up the rear axle carrier, placing a wooden block underneath to avoid damage. Apply load to the suspension so that the installed bolt of the rear No. 1 suspension arm (inner side) is horizontally aligned with the center of the rear axle hub.

   CAUTION:

   Do not jack up the rear axle carrier subassembly too high as the vehicle may fall.

   Note:

   Do not bend the brake dust cover.

   Tip:
   

   • If the rear drive shaft assembly cannot be positioned horizontally as shown in the illustration even when the rear axle carrier subassembly is jacked up, apply additional load to the vehicle such as by having a person sit in the rear seat.

   • Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
