STEERING KNUCKLE INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.


  1. INSTALL STEERING KNUCKLE


    1. A0162X8

      Temporarily install the steering knuckle to the upper suspension arm with the nut.

    2. A0160GP

      Install the steering knuckle to the lower ball joint with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      120 N*m  { 1224 kgf*cm, 89 ft.*lbf }
    3. A0160I9

      Fully tighten the nut and install a new clip.

      Torque:
      87 N*m  { 887 kgf*cm, 64 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      If the holes for the clip are not aligned, further tighten the nut up to 60°.

  2. INSTALL FRONT AXLE HUB SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A01610D

      Temporarily install the front axle hub sub-assembly and front disc brake dust cover with the 4 bolts.

    2. A0162FYE01

      Using SST and a socket wrench (17 mm), fully tighten the 4 bolts.

      SST
      09961-00950
      Torque:
      without SST
      69 N*m  { 700 kgf*cm, 51 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      51 N*m  { 517 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf }

      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.

  3. INSTALL FRONT DISC


    1. A01603AE01

      Align the matchmarks of the disc and axle hub, and install the front disc.

      Note

      When replacing the disc with a new one, select the installation position where the front disc has minimal runout.

  4. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY


    1. A0163DEE01
      Text in Illustration
      *A for Bolt A
      *B for Bolt B

      Install the front disc brake cylinder assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      for Bolt A
      78 N*m  { 799 kgf*cm, 58 ft.*lbf }
      for Bolt B
      135 N*m  { 1377 kgf*cm, 100 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Do not twist the brake hose when installing the front disc brake cylinder assembly.

  5. CONNECT FRONT SPEED SENSOR WIRE


    1. A015YNBE03

      Connect the front speed sensor wire to the front speed sensor.

      Note

      Do not twist the sensor wire.

  6. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
    103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
