FRONT SUSPENSION: FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM: INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
HINT:
- Use the same procedure for the LH side and RH side.
- The following procedure listed is for the LH side.

1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM LH





(a) Temporarily install the front lower suspension arm LH to the front suspension crossmember with the 2 bolts and nut.
NOTE: Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. While securing the nut, tighten the bolt.
HINT: Fully tighten the 2 bolts after stabilizing the suspension.

2. TEMPORARILY INSTALL FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM LH (for Manual Transaxle)





(a) Temporarily install the front lower suspension arm LH to the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and nut.
NOTE: Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. While securing the nut, tighten the bolt B.
HINT: Fully tighten the 2 bolts after stabilizing the suspension.

3. INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) for TMC Made:
(1) While alternately inserting SST into the guide holes on both sides of the front suspension crossmember RH and LH, tighten 2 bolts (A), 2 bolts (B), 3 bolts (C), and 3 nuts (D) on the RH and LH sides to the respective specified torque in several steps.
SST: 09670-00010





Bolt A - Torque: 113 Nm (1152 kgf-cm, 83 ft-lbf)
Bolt B - Torque: 157 Nm (1600 kgf-cm, 116 ft-lbf)
Bolt C - Torque: 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)
Nut D - Torque: 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)
(b) except TMC Made:
(1) While alternately inserting SST into the guide holes on both sides of the front suspension crossmember RH and LH, tighten 2 bolts (A), 2 bolts (B), 2 bolts (C), bolt (D) and 3 nuts (E) on the RH and LH sides to the respective specified torque in several steps.
SST: 09670-00010





Bolt A - Torque: 113 Nm (1152 kgf-cm, 83 ft-lbf)
Bolt B - Torque: 157 Nm (1600 kgf-cm, 116 ft-lbf)
Bolt C - Torque: 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)
Bolt D - Torque: 87 Nm (887 kgf-cm, 64 ft-lbf)
Nut E - Torque: 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)

Torque: 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf)
15. STABILIZE SUSPENSION
(a) Lower the vehicle and bounce it up and down several times to stabilize the front suspension. Raise the vehicle.
16. FULLY TIGHTEN FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM LH





(a) Fully tighten bolt A.
Torque: 137 Nm (1397 kgf-cm, 101 ft-lbf)
NOTE: The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.

(b) Fully tighten bolt B.
Torque: 137 Nm (1397 kgf-cm, 101 ft-lbf)
NOTICE:
- The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.
- Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. While securing the nut, tighten the bolt B.
