        *a Guide Hole
        *b Protrusion

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

        Note

        Securely insert the protrusion of the rear lower coil spring insulator LH into the guide hole of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH.

    2. for RH Side:


      1. B006M1JC02
        *A for RH Side
        *1 Rear Lower Coil Spring Insulator RH
        *a Guide Hole
        *b Protrusion

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

        Note

        Securely insert the protrusion of the rear lower coil spring insulator RH into the guide hole of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly RH.

  3. INSTALL REAR COIL SPRING


    1. for LH Side:


      1. B006NRUC03
        *A for LH Side
        *1 Rear No. 2 Suspension Arm Assembly LH
        *a Identification Mark
        *b 20 mm or less
        B006QOD Inner Side of the Vehicle

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

        Note


        • Install the rear coil spring LH with its identification marks facing inner side of the vehicle.

        • Make sure that the rear coil spring LH is not installed upside down by confirming that the identification marks on the rear coil spring LH are not within the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH.

        • Install the rear lower coil spring insulator LH so that the dimension between the stopper and lower end of the rear coil spring LH is 20 mm (0.787 in.) or less.

        • Confirm that the lower end of the rear coil spring LH is facing the rear of the vehicle.

    2. B006MO0C02
      *A for RH Side
      *1 Rear No. 2 Suspension Arm Assembly RH
      *a Identification Mark
      *b 20 mm or less
      B006QOD Inner Side of the Vehicle

      for RH Side:

      Note


      • Install the rear coil spring RH with its identification marks facing inner side of the vehicle.

      • Make sure that the rear coil spring RH is not installed upside down by confirming that the identification marks on the rear coil spring RH are not within the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly RH.

      • Install the rear lower coil spring insulator RH so that the dimension between the stopper and lower end of the rear coil spring RH is 20 mm (0.787 in.) or less.

      • Confirm that the lower end of the rear coil spring RH is facing the front of the vehicle.

    3. B006P8XC03
      *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 carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and nut.

      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.

      • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

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

  4. INSTALL STABILIZER LINK SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the stabilizer link sub-assembly to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly with the 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      50 N*m  { 510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf }

  5. INSTALL REAR FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. B006NOYN02

      Install the rear flexible hose to the No. 5 flexible hose bracket and No. 6 flexible hose bracket with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      Bolt (A)
      18.8 N*m  { 192 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }
      Bolt (B)
      17.8 N*m  { 182 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }
    2. B006LF9C02
      *1 No. 5 Flexible Hose Bracket
      *2 No. 6 Flexible Hose Bracket

      Tighten the bolts of the No. 5 flexible hose bracket and No. 6 flexible hose bracket shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      17.8 N*m  { 182 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      The bolts of the flexible hose brackets may become loose after removing and installing the rear flexible hose.
