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


    1. B002K64C02
      *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length
      B002HVY Turn

      Using SST, tighten bolt A.

      SST
      09961-01270
      Torque:
      Specified tightening torque
      233 N*m  { 2376 kgf*cm, 172 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

      • When using SST (fulcrum length of 200 mm (7.8740 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 1055 mm (41.5354 in.)): 195.9 N*m (1998 kgf*cm, 144 ft.*lbf)

    2. Tighten bolt B.

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