FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER REMOVAL

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LHD vehicle.


  1. REMOVE ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE

    Tech Tips

    Refer to the procedure up to Remove Engine Assembly with Transaxle Click here.

    Perform the same procedure as the LH side.

  7. REMOVE FRONT ACTIVE STABILIZER CONTROL ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (w/ Active Stabilizer System)


    1. Remove the front active stabilizer control actuator assembly with front stabilizer link assembly.

  8. REMOVE STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY


    1. A01NEB6

      Remove the 2 bolts, 2 nuts and steering link assembly.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

  9. SEPARATE FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY


    1. A01NE2D

      Disconnect the 2 clamps and engine wire from the front frame assembly.

    1. A01NFEXE01

      Remove the 2 hole plugs.

    2. Remove the 3 nuts and engine mounting insulator LH.

      Tech Tips

      Perform this procedure only when replacement of the engine mounting insulator LH is necessary.

  12. REMOVE ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR RH


    1. A01NFUJE01

      Remove the 2 hole plugs.

    2. Remove the 3 nuts and engine mounting insulator RH.

      Tech Tips

      Perform this procedure only when replacement of the engine mounting insulator RH is necessary.

  13. REMOVE REAR ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR ASSEMBLY


    1. A01NEGO

      Remove the 2 hole plugs.

    2. Remove the 2 nuts and rear engine mounting insulator assembly.

      Note

      Do not remove the rear engine mounting insulator assembly through bolts. Doing so makes it difficult to install the rear engine mounting insulator assembly.

      Tech Tips

      Perform this procedure only when replacement of the engine mounting insulator assembly is necessary.
