7. Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
-
Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the knuckle.
-
Before connecting the ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the knuckle connecting
hole, and the threaded section and mating surface of the castle nut.
-
First install all the components and lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight before fully
tightening to the specified torque values. Do not place the jack against the ball joint pin of the knuckle.
-
Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
-
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 surfaces on the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.
-
Check the front wheel alignment, and adjust if necessary.
