caution
Be careful not to damage to the hub bolts when removing the front wheel and tire (A).
Remove the front wheel and tire (A) from front hub .
Tightening torque:
88.2 ~ 107.8 N.m (9.0 ~ 11.0 kgf.m, 65.0 ~ 79.5 lb-ft)
Be careful not to damage to the hub bolts when removing the front wheel and tire (A).
Disconnect the stabilizer link (B) with the front strut assembly (A) after loosening the nut.
Tightening torque:
98.1 ~ 117.7N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8lb-ft)
Remove the tie rod end ball joint (C) from the knuckle by using the SST (09568-34000).
Remove the split pin (A).
Remove the castle nut (B).
Use the SST (09568-34000).
Tightening torque :
23.5 ~ 33.3N.m (2.4 ~ 3.4kgf.m, 19.4 ~ 24.6lb-ft)
When using SST, be sure not to damage the dust cover of lower arm ball joint.
Keep SST tied to the car because there is a risk of injury by dropping the SST during removing the lower arm ball joint.
The peripheral parts may be damaged when removing the lower arm ball joint with a general tool such as lever, so be sure to use SST.
Loosen the bolt & nut and then remove the lower arm (A).
Tightening torque:
98.1 ~ 117.7N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8lb-ft)
Remove the front lower arm from the front knuckle using the SST (0K545-A9100).
After removing bolts from the front knuckle, install and tighten the sub body bolt (A) .
Input the sub body (A) between the front knuckle and the sub body bolt.
Tighten bolt (B) of the sub body bolt to broaden the gap of the front knuckle.
Install the safe wire (A).
Install a safe wire on the front strut to prevent dropping the SST and hurting technicians.
Install the main body, between the front strut and the lower arm.
To avoid the main body coming off, install a fixing clamp (A) beside the main body.
After installing a fixing clamp, rotate the handle (B) clock wise till the clamp is fixed on a lower arm.
Tighten a main body bolt (A) of the slowly and remove the lower arm from the front knuckle.
Loosen the bolt (A) and then disconnect the universal joint assembly from the pinion of the steering gear box.
Tightening torque:
32.4 ~ 37.3N.m (3.3 ~ 3.8kgf.m, 23.9 ~ 27.5lb-ft)
Keep the neutral-range to prevent the damage of the clock spring inner cable when you handle the steering wheel.
Do not use the bolt again.
Remove the under cover.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover")
Loosen the bolt (A,B) and then remove the upper roll rod bracket.
Tightening torque:
(A) 107.9 ~ 127.5N.m (11.0 ~ 13.0kgf.m, 79.6 ~ 94.0lb-ft)
(B) 49.0 ~ 63.7N.m (5.0 ~ 6.5kgf.m, 36.2 ~ 47.0lb-ft)
Bolt (A) is the bolt only special bolts are not reusable.
Remove the roll rod stopper bolt (A).
Tightening torque:
107.9 ~ 127.5N.m (11.0 ~ 13.0kgf.m, 79.6 ~ 94.0lb-ft)
Disconnect the muffler rubber hanger (A).
Remove the front cross member. (Refer to Front Suspension System - "Front Cross Member")
Loosen the bolt (A-4ea) and then remove the stabilizer bar (B) from the sub frame.
Tightening torque:
49.0 ~ 63.7N.m (5.0 ~ 6.5kgf.m, 36.2 ~ 47.0lb-ft)
Installation is the reverse of removal.
Add power steering fluid to reservoir.
Bleed the power steering system.
(Refer to General Information - "Repair procedures(Air bleeding)")
Check the wheel Alignment.
(Refer to Tires/Wheels - "Alignment")
Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.
Check the front stabilizer bar for deformation.
