      *1 Long Socket Hexagon Wrench 6

      Using SST and a long socket hexagon wrench 6, fix the shock absorber rod and tighten the nut.

      SST
      09729-97202
      Torque:
      without SST
      55 N*m  { 561 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      49 N*m  { 495 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


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

      • This torque value can be obtained by using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.) and SST with a fulcrum length of 40 mm (1.57 in.).

      • If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.

  2. INSTALL STEERING KNUCKLE
