7. Remove the flange bolt (A), and remove the upper arm (B).
NOTE: Use the new flange bolt during reassembly.
8. Install the upper arm in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
-
First install all of the components, and lightly tighten the bolt and the nut, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight before
fully tightening to the specified torque.
-
Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when connecting the knuckle.
-
Before connecting the ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and the tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the ball joint
connecting hole, the threaded section and the mating surfaces of the castle nut.
-
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 of the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel.
9. With active damper system: Do the memorizing rear suspension full rebound position See: Suspension Control ( Automatic - Electronic )/Testing
and Inspection/Programming and Relearning.
