CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY


    1. A002A7XC21
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Jack

      Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the spacer and nut (A).

      Note

      Fully tighten the nut (A) after stabilizing the suspension.

    2. Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear suspension member sub-assembly with the bolt (B) and nut.

      Note


      • Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the rear of the vehicle.

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

      • Fully tighten the bolt (B) after stabilizing the suspension.

    3. Slowly lower the rear axle assembly.

    4. A002B59

      Install the rear lower suspension member stopper with the bolt and nut.

      Torque:
      Bolt
      158 N*m  { 1611 kgf*cm, 117 ft.*lbf }
      Nut
      32 N*m  { 326 kgf*cm, 24 ft.*lbf }

    5. Slowly lower the jack.

  2. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 2 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY


    1. A002ASW

      Temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear suspension member sub-assembly with the No. 2 adjust cam, toe adjust cam sub-assembly and the nut.

      Note


      • Insert the toe adjust cam sub-assembly with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle.

      • When tightening the nut, keep the toe adjust cam sub-assembly from rotating.

    2. A0029HDC01
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Jack

      Support the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly using a jack and wooden block.

    3. Install the rear lower coil spring insulator to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

    4. A002AWSC01
      *a Identification Mark

      Set the rear coil spring to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

      Note

      Set the rear coil spring so that the identification mark is positioned as shown in the illustration.

    5. A002767C02
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Jack

      Using a jack and wooden block, slowly jack up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly and then temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle assembly with the bolt (B) and nut.

      Torque:
      100 N*m  { 1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }

      CAUTION:

      Do not jack up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly too high as the vehicle may fall.

      Note


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

      • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.

      • Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle.
