INSTALLATION
For the details, refer to the same item of the same section in the
Service Manual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual
noting following point.
Install control arm to chassis.
Tighten suspension arm nuts to specified torque after lower-
ing hoist and vehicle in non-loaded condition.
Tightening torque

Front suspension arm nut (b) :
100 N·m (10.0 kg-m, 72.5 lb-ft) CAUTION:
All front suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance
of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any front suspension part. Replace it with a new part or
damage to the part may result.
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
