  100 N*m { 1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }
  Tech Tips
  
  If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a 6 mm hexagon wrench to hold the stud bolt.
  
  If the rear stabilizer control cylinder extends and it is difficult to temporarily install the stabilizer link to the stabilizer bar, raise the stabilizer control arm with a jack and temporarily install the stabilizer link.
INSTALL REAR STABILIZER END BRACKET LH (w/o KDSS)
1. Connect the stabilizer end bracket with the 2 bolts.

7. With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH, continue to hold the brake pedal and allow brake fluid to be drained from the bleeder plug while the pump motor operates.
  Tech Tips
  - Air is bled as the pump motor operates while the brake pedal is being depressed.
  - Be sure to release the brake pedal to stop the motor after approximately 100 seconds of continuous operation.
  - As brake fluid is continuously drained while the pump operates, it is not necessary to repeatedly depress the brake pedal.
8. When there is no more air in the brake fluid, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.

Tech Tips
- Perform this step with the fuel tank full.
- If there are any parts installed to the vehicle which place any unbalanced load on the left or right side of the vehicle, remove them.

  Height difference of left and right sides
  
  15 mm (0.591 in.) or less
  
  Tech Tips
  
  If not as specified, perform the vehicle tilt calibration.
