    1. Install the front lower arm bushing stopper to the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly LH.

    2. A0007N7E04

      Install the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly LH to the front frame assembly with the 3 bolts and nut in the order shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      Bolt 1, 2
      200 N*m  { 2039 kgf*cm, 148 ft.*lbf }
      Bolt 3
      135 N*m  { 1377 kgf*cm, 100 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      While keeping the nut from rotating, tighten the bolt.

    3. Install the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly LH to the front lower ball joint assembly with the bolt and 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      92 N*m  { 938 kgf*cm, 68 ft.*lbf }

  2. INSTALL ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR LH (for LH Side)

      *a Pin

      Set the engine mounting insulator LH on the front frame assembly.

    2. Slowly lower the engine assembly with transaxle using a jack and a wooden block.

      Note


      • Match the position of the pin (stopper).

      • Do not position the wooden block on the oil pan.

      • Do not damage the components surrounding the engine assembly with transaxle.

      • Ensure that the jack and wooden block are stable.

      *a Fulcrum Length

      Using SST, install the nut to the engine mounting insulator LH.

      SST
      09961-00950
      Torque:
      without SST
      95 N*m  { 969 kgf*cm, 70 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      68 N*m  { 695 kgf*cm, 50 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

      • This torque value can be obtained by using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 380 mm (1.25 ft.) and SST with a fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.91 in.).

      • If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 380 mm (1.25 ft.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.

      Bolt 1, 2
      200 N*m  { 2039 kgf*cm, 148 ft.*lbf }
      Bolt 3
      135 N*m  { 1377 kgf*cm, 100 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      While keeping the nut from rotating, tighten the bolt.

    3. Install the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly RH to the front lower ball joint assembly with the bolt and 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      92 N*m  { 938 kgf*cm, 68 ft.*lbf }
