  3. TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN FRONT LOWER NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (for Manual Transaxle)


    1. Temporarily install the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly LH to the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and nut.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

  7. FULLY TIGHTEN FRONT LOWER NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH


    1. A01T9LEC01
      *a Length of SST 200 mm (7.87 in.)
      *b Length of Torque Wrench 425 mm (1.39 ft.)
      A01TBGJ Turn

      Using SST, fully tighten the bolt A.

      SST
      09961-01270
      Torque:
      without SST [Torque (N*m(kgf*cm, ft.*lbf))]
      233 N*m  { 2376 kgf*cm, 172 ft.*lbf }
      with SST [Reading of Torque wrench (N*m(kgf*cm, ft.*lbf))]
      158 N*m  { 1611 kgf*cm, 117 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


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

      • The "with SST" torque value is effective when using SST with a fulcrum length of 200 mm (7.87 in.).

      • The "with SST" torque value is effective when using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 425 mm (1.39 ft.).

      • If using a torque wrench with a different length, or connecting the torque wrench and SST at an angle, refer to the alternate torque values.

    2. Fully tighten the bolt B.

      Torque:
      214 N*m  { 2182 kgf*cm, 158 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

  8. INSTALL NO. 1 ENGINE UNDER COVER

  9. INSPECT AND ADJUST FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
