Frame Assembly, Front

The front cross-member can be removed only after separating the engine assembly that contains either a 2GR-FE or a 1AR-FE transaxle unit. The procedure to remove the No. 1 front stabilizer bracket follows suit by first taking off the LH bracket and then the RH bracket. First uninstall the front bar with its attached link assembly then proceed to uninstall the power steering link assembly. Engine hangers need installation according to corresponding engine type before removing the front frame assemblies for both 2GR-FE and 1AR-FE. The technician should first disconnect the transverse engine mounting insulator on the 2GR-FE engine before proceeding with the removal of both front lower suspension arms LH and RH according to the same procedure for both sides. Use Special Service Tool: 09830-10010 to detach the front suspension member dynamic damper by removing its two bolts and then separate the front suspension member body mounting front stopper and rear stopper and front cushion. During removal tighten the tool evenly while paying attention to prevent the cushion from escaping because it cannot be reused. Perform the same removal process while using Special Service Tool number 09830-10010 on both the left-hand LH front suspension member body mounting rear cushion and right-hand RH front suspension member body mounting rear cushion.

The first step to remove the front cross-member includes pulling out the engine assembly with transaxle. The same method should be used to remove the No. 1 front stabilizer bracket LH and then the equivalent RH bracket. The procedure requires operators to remove the front stabilizer bar together with its front stabilizer link assembly and finally the power steering link assembly. The installation of engine hangers should be followed by removing the front frame assembly with the transverse engine mounting insulator. Following the initial step of the front lower suspension arm removal process you should start with the LH arm followed by the RH arm using the same standard method. Use Semi-Circle Locking Admin Tool 09830-10010 to remove two bolts securing the dynamic damper of the front suspension member. Then unfasten the front suspension member body mounting front stopper and rear stopper and front cushion with Special Service Tool: 09830-10010. Follow this procedure when using Special Service Tool: 09830-10010 by placing tool claws on the mounting cushion before tightening the clamps at a steady pace while being alert because the cushion will escape and cannot be reused. Use Special Service Tool: 09830-10010 to eliminate the front suspension member body mounting rear cushion LH after which you should proceed to remove the front suspension member body mounting rear cushion RH while using the same method.

Begin by temporarily positioning a new front suspension member body mounting rear cushion LH, ensuring the correct installation direction.
