INSTALLATION





1. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY
(a) Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear suspension member with the bolt.
NOTE: Ensure that the identification mark faces the rear side of the vehicle.

(b) Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and the nut.
NOTE: Since a stopper nut is used, temporarily tighten the bolt.





2. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 2 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY
(a) Temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear suspension member with the bolt.
NOTE: Ensure that the identification mark faces the rear side of the vehicle.

(b) Temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and the nut.
NOTE: Since a stopper nut is used, temporarily tighten the bolt.

3. STABILIZE SUSPENSION





(a) Jack up the rear axle carrier, placing a wooden block underneath to avoid damage. Apply load to the suspension so that the installed bolt of the rear No. 1 suspension arm (inner side) is horizontally aligned with the center of the rear axle hub.
CAUTION: Do not jack up the rear axle carrier sub-assembly too high as the vehicle may fall.
NOTE: Do not bend the brake dust cover.

HINT :
- If the rear drive shaft assembly cannot be positioned horizontally as shown in the illustration even when the rear axle carrier sub-assembly is jacked up, apply additional load to the vehicle such as by having a person sit in the rear seat.
- Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.

4. FULLY TIGHTEN REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY





(a) Using SST and a socket wrench (19 mm), fully tighten the bolt.
without SST - Torque: 120 Nm (1223 kgf-cm, 88 ft-lbf)
with SST - Torque: 89 Nm (904 kgf-cm, 65 ft-lbf)
SST: 09961-00950

NOTICE :
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 425 mm (16.73 in.).
- This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
- The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.





(b) Fully tighten the bolt
Torque: 112 Nm (1141 kgf-cm, 82 ft-lbf)

NOTICE :
- Since a stopper nut is used, fully tighten the bolt.
- The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.
