REMOVAL
1.Loosen the wheel nuts slightly. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
2. Remove the rear wheel and tire (A) from rear hub (B).
Be careful not to damage the hub bolts (C) when removing the rear wheel and tire (A).
3. Remove the brake caliper mounting bolts (A), and then place the brake caliper assembly (B) with wire as shown in
the illustration.
4.Remove the rear assist arm (A) ball joint self - locking nut (B) and the cotter pin.

2.Install the rear assist arm (A) ball joint self - locking nut (B) and the cotter pin.
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
160 ~ 180 (16 ~ 18, 115.7 ~ 130.2)
3.Install the brake caliper mounting bolts (A).
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
50 ~ 60 (5.0 ~ 6.0, 36.2 ~ 43.4)
4.Install the wheel and the tire (A) to the rear hub (B).
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
90 ~ 110 (9 ~ 11, 65.1 ~ 79.5)

Be careful not to damage the hub bolts (C) when installing the rear wheel and tire (A).
INSPECTION
1.Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.
2. Check the upper arm for bending or breakage.
3. Check the ball joint for rotating torque.
(1) If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
(2) Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times in a circular motion.
(3) Mount the self - locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Specified torque :
1 ~ 3 Nm (10 ~ 30 kgf.cm, 0.72 ~ 2.17 lb - ft)
Measure a torque by using the special tool(09532- 11600) and torque wrench, at the range of 0.5 - 2 rpm
after moving the ball joint stud 10 times at room temperature.
(4)If the rotating torque exceeds the upper limit of standard value, replace the upper arm assembly.
(5) Even if the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it
has drag and excessive play.

Noise Hissing Noise in Steering Gear
There is some noise with all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing
sound when the steering wheel is turned and the car is not moving. This noise will be most
evident when turning the wheel while the brakes are being applied. There is no relationship
between this noise and steering performance. Do not replace the valve unless the "hissing"
noise becomes extreme. A replaced valve will also make a slight noise, and is not always a
solution for the condition.
