      Torque:
      150 N*m  { 1530 kgf*cm, 111 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Perform this procedure with all 4 wheels on the ground.

  5. INSTALL REAR STABILIZER CONTROL TUBE INSULATOR (w/ KDSS)


    1. A015BH1

      Install the rear stabilizer control tube insulator with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      18 N*m  { 184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }

  6. INSTALL UPPER ARM BUSH HEAT INSULATOR (w/o KDSS)


    1. A0155KM

      Install the upper arm bush heat insulator with the bolt.

      Torque:
      18 N*m  { 184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }

  7. CONNECT SPEED SENSOR WIRE HARNESS


    1. A015E50

      Connect the speed sensor wire harness with the bolt.

      Torque:
      13 N*m  { 127 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }

  8. INSTALL REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (w/ Active Height Control)


    1. A015BE7

      Install the sensor with the 2 bolts and nut.

      Torque:
      for bolt
      13 N*m  { 127 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }
      for nut
      5.6 N*m  { 57 kgf*cm, 50 in.*lbf }

    2. Connect the connector and 2 clamps.

  9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL (w/ Active Height Control)

    Note

    When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

  10. PERFORM VEHICLE OFF SET CALIBRATION (w/ Active Height Control)


    1. Perform the vehicle off set calibration Click here.

  11. ADJUST REAR HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (w/ Active Height Control)

    Note


    • Make adjustments from the link that deviates the most from the specified vehicle height value.

    • When the front and rear are at the same level, make adjustments from the front first.

    • If adjustment cannot be completed through the vehicle height offset calibration, adjust the sensor link using the following procedure.


    1. A015AEZ

      Loosen the nut and adjust the link installation position by moving the height control sensor link up or down in the long hole of the bracket.

      Tech Tips

      When the link is moved 1 mm (0.0394 in.), the vehicle height changes by approximately 2 mm (0.0787 in.).

    2. Tighten the nut of the height control sensor link.

      Torque:
      5.6 N*m  { 57 kgf*cm, 50 in.*lbf }

  12. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (w/ KDSS)

    Note


    • Perform the inspection on a level surface.

    • Ensure that the wheels are on the ground and facing straight ahead.

    • Perform the inspection with the vehicle load completely on the suspension.

    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.


    1. Set the tire pressure to the specified value(s) Click here.

    2. Bounce the vehicle to stabilize the suspension.

    3. A015AG2

      Measure the distance from the ground to the top of the bumper and calculate the difference in the vehicle height between left and right. Perform this procedure for both the front and rear wheels.

      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.

  13. CLOSE STABILIZER CONTROL WITH ACCUMULATOR HOUSING SHUTTER VALVE (w/ KDSS)

    Note


    • Perform the inspection on a level surface.

    • Ensure that the wheels are on the ground and facing straight ahead.

    • Perform the inspection with the vehicle load completely on the suspension.

    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.


    1. Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, tighten the lower and upper chamber shutter valves of the stabilizer control with accumulator housing.

      Torque:
      14 N*m  { 143 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

  14. INSTALL STABILIZER CONTROL VALVE PROTECTOR (w/ KDSS)

    A0158P4

    1. Install the valve protector with the 3 bolts.

      Torque:
      18 N*m  { 184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }
