1. Install the control arm shaft into the upper control arm.
2. Install the control arm bushings into the upper control arm. Use the J 222691 and a short piece of pipe that is the same outer diameter as the rubber
bushing.
3. Tighten the J 222691 until the bushing is positioned on the shaft and the control arm.
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the
fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
4. Install the washers and the nuts.
Tighten the nuts to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.).
5. Install the upper control arm to the vehicle.
