acxuuw00001032
Tightening torque
88.2—117.6 N·m {9.00—11.99 Kgf·m, 65.06—86.73 ft·lbf}


Suspension Links Removal/Installation

1.Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after the vehicle has been lowered to the ground and unloaded.

Note
• Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified levels. Spare tire, jack and tools are in designated position.


Brake Lines Disconnection/Connection

Caution
• Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately.

1.Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the commercially available flare nut wrench. Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut tightening torque to allow for use of a commercially available flare nut wrench.

2.If any brake line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.


Power Steering Components Removal/Installation

1.If any steering fluid line has been disconnected, perform the following after installation of the power steering components.

― Power steering fluid amount inspection
― Power steering fluid leakage inspection
― Air bleeding

Electro Hydraulic Power Assist Steering (EHPAS) Related Parts

Caution
• If the configuration procedure is not completed, the EHPAS will not operate properly and it might cause an unexpected accident. Therefore, when replacing or removing the electric power steering oil pump, make sure to perform the configuration procedure to ensure the proper EHPAS operation.

1.Make sure that there are no DTCs in the EHPAS memory after working on EHPAS related parts. If there are any codes in the memory, clear them.

2.When replacing or removing the electric power steering oil pump, perform the configuration procedures. (See ELECTRO HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EHPAS) CONTROL MODULE CONFIGURATION [MZR-CD 2.2].)
