FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL FRONT LOWER NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH


    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 fixed in place.

  2. INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Support the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with an engine lifter using 4 attachments or equivalent tools.

      Note


      • Make sure to secure the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly to prevent it from dropping.

      • Use the attachments to keep the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly level.

      • The front suspension crossmember sub-assembly is a heavy component. Make sure that it is supported securely.

    2. Tighten the 2 bolts on the left and right sides while alternately inserting SST into the left and right side reference holes in the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly.

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


    1. A01KCZXC01
      *a Fulcrum Length
      *b Turn

      Using SST, tighten bolt A.

      SST
      09961-01270
      Torque:
      without SST
