7. Install the upper arm in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
-
First install all of the components, and lightly tighten the bolts and the nuts, then raise the suspension by loading it with the vehicle's weight
before fully tightening to the specified torque.
-
Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the knuckle.
-
Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not align
the castle nut by loosening it.
-
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel.
-
Check the wheel alignment, and adjust if necessary See: Alignment/Service and Repair.
