      *1 Wooden Block

      Jack up the rear axle carrier sub-assembly, placing a wooden block under it to avoid damage. Apply load to the suspension so that the installed bolt of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly (inner side) is horizontally aligned with the center of the rear axle hub.

      CAUTION:

      Do not jack up the rear axle carrier sub-assembly too high as the vehicle may fall.

      Note


      • When jacking up the rear axle carrier sub-assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.

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

      *a Fulcrum Length

      Using SST, fully tighten the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly (inner side) with the bolt.

      SST
      09961-00950
      Torque:
      without SST
      100 N*m  { 1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      72 N*m  { 731 kgf*cm, 53 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 380 mm (1.25 ft.).

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