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. INSTALL STEERING KNUCKLE LH

    B003SCUC01
    *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

    1. Apply MP grease to a new O-ring.

    2. Install the O-ring to the front axle hub sub-assembly LH.

    3. Install the dust cover and front axle hub sub-assembly LH to the steering knuckle LH with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:
      Specified tightening torque
      80 N*m  { 816 kgf*cm, 59 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


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

      • When using a ball joint lock nut wrench (fulcrum length of 149 mm (5.866 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 380 mm (14.961 in.)): 57.5 N*m (586 kgf*cm, 42 ft.*lbf).

  2. INSTALL FRONT AXLE HUB DUST SEAL

    B003QL5N01

    1. Using SST and a press, press in a new front axle hub dust seal.

      SST
      09527-17011
      09950-70010   ( 09951-07100 )
      09951-01000

  3. CONNECT FRONT UPPER SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Install the front upper suspension arm assembly LH to the steering knuckle LH with a nut.

      Torque:
      110 N*m  { 1122 kgf*cm, 81 ft.*lbf }

    2. Install a new clip.

      Note

      If the holes for the clip are not aligned, tighten the nut an additional 60°.

  4. CONNECT FRONT LOWER NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Connect the front lower No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH to the steering knuckle LH with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      160 N*m  { 1632 kgf*cm, 118 ft.*lbf }

  5. CONNECT TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY LH

  11. CONNECT FRONT SPEED SENSOR LH


    1. B003LVL

      Install the skid control sensor clamp to the steering knuckle with the bolt.

      Torque:
      13.5 N*m  { 138 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

    2. Install the speed sensor to the steering knuckle with the bolt.

      Torque:
      8.5 N*m  { 87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf }

      Note


      • Make sure there are no pieces of iron or other foreign matter attached to the sensor tip.

      • While inserting the speed sensor into the knuckle hole, do not strike or damage the sensor tip.

      • After installing the speed sensor, make sure there is no clearance or foreign matter between the sensor stay part and the knuckle.

      • When installing the sensor, do not twist the wire harness.

    3. B003S1G

      Install the harness clamp with the bolt.

      Torque:
      32 N*m  { 326 kgf*cm, 24 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • When installing the clamp, do not twist the wire harness.

      • Make sure the clamp rotation stopper touches the installation position.

    4. Attach the clamp.
