REAR LOWER ARM (for 2WD) INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedures listed below are for the LH side.


  1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY

    A017BXCE01

    1. Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear suspension member with the bolt.

      Note

      Ensure that the identification mark faces the rear side of the vehicle.

    2. Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and the nut.

      Note

      Since a stopper nut is used, temporarily tighten the bolt.

  2. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 2 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY

    A017E7XE01

    1. Temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear suspension member with the bolt.

      Note

      Ensure that the identification mark faces the rear side of the vehicle.

    2. Temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and the nut.

      Note

      Since a stopper nut is used, temporarily tighten the bolt.

  3. STABILIZE SUSPENSION


    1. A017FEHE01

      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.

      Tech Tips


      • 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.

  4. FULLY TIGHTEN REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY


    1. A017BBZE01

      Using SST and a socket wrench (19 mm), fully tighten the bolt.

      Torque:
      without SST
      120 N*m  { 1223 kgf*cm, 88 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      89 N*m  { 904 kgf*cm, 65 ft.*lbf }
      SST
      09961-00950

      Note


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 425 mm (16.73 in.).

      • This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

      • The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.

    2. A017CNY

      Fully tighten the bolt

      Torque:
      112 N*m  { 1141 kgf*cm, 82 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Since a stopper nut is used, fully tighten the bolt.

      • The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.

  5. FULLY TIGHTEN REAR NO. 2 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY

    A017GBDE02

    1. Fully tighten the bolts.

      Torque:
      Bolt (A)
      120 N*m  { 1223 kgf*cm, 88 ft.*lbf }
      Bolt (B)
      112 N*m  { 1141 kgf*cm, 82 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Since a stopper nut is used, fully tighten the bolt.

      • The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.

    1. A017FMRE02

      Install the rear stabilizer link assembly LH to the rear stabilizer bar with the nut.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a hexagon wrench (5 mm) to hold the stud bolt.

  8. INSTALL REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY RH

    Tech Tips

    Perform the same procedure as the LH side.

  9. INSTALL REAR WHEEL

    Torque:
