The first installation step for the front suspension member requires mounting the front stabilizer bar and steering link assembly and then moving onto the front lower suspension arms. Mount both left and right front lower suspension arms on their respective sides only for temporary purposes. When installing the dynamic damper on front suspension members of TMC Made vehicles apply 52 Nm torque to the bolt; other models require only damper installation. The sub-assembly of the center engine mounting member requires temporary installation with four bolts. Use Special Service Tool: 09670-00010 to insert into both sides of front suspension crossmember sub-assembly guide holes before TMC Made vehicles can tighten bolts A to 113 Nm, bolts B to 157 Nm, bolt C to 52 Nm, and nuts D to 52 Nm. Other vehicle models require users to install Bias Plates then tighten Bolt D to 87 Nm and Nut E to 52 Nm. The center engine mounting member assembly requires four bolts to be fully tightened according to the specifications of 39 Nm for Bolt A (TMC Made) or 60 Nm (except TMC Made) and 52 Nm for Bolt B (TMC Made) or 81 Nm (except TMC Made). Doctors should tighten two front hook assembly bolts to 39 Nm torque. Tighten the front lower suspension arms, stabilizer link assemblies and tie rod end sub-assemblies of both sides. The first step involves setting the engine under both covers while attaching the No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly together with the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly. First position the wheels exactly straight ahead before adding the column hole cover silencer sheet and tightening the front wheels to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Both front lower suspension arms need full stabilization while the technician tightens them to specifications. Examining and correcting front wheel alignment must be performed as the final step.

Place the front wheels facing straight ahead and secure the steering wheel.
