Lower Control Arm, Passenger Side

Service and repair of the front control arm commences with taking off the front wheel using 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs. torque. The service begins with disconnection of the lower suspension arm from the lower ball joint through the removal of 2 nuts combined with a bolt operated at 127 Nm (1,300 kgf-cm, 94 ft. lbs. torque). Start by detaching the lower suspension arm from the front side through the removal of two bolts which need 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.) torque then proceed to the rear side where you remove bolt and nut using a torque of 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.). The final step includes lowering suspension arm removal with its bushing stopper. The procedure for bushing replacement requires the use of Special Service Tools including 09649-17010, 09710-04081 and a steel plate combined with a press device to extract the old bushing and then installation demands the utilization of Special Service Tools 09238-47012, 09649-17010 with a press to correctly position the new bushing. The installation process should reverse the steps followed during removal and when complete front wheel alignment must be checked.

The repair process of the front control arm begins with wheel removal from the front end. The removal process starts by detaching the lower suspension arm from the lower ball joint by unfastening its bolt and two nuts. The removal process starts by unscrewing the lower suspension arm at its front side using two bolts and the rear side bolt with a nut. After detachment of the arm with the stopper, remove the lower suspension arm bushing stopper. Bushing replacement requires Special Service Tool: 09649-17010, 09710-04081 as well as a steel plate and press to remove the old bushing and then Special Service Tool: 09238-47012, 09649-17010 and press to install a new bushing while ensuring proper orientation. The installation process begins by applying 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.) torque to connect the lower suspension arm with the front suspension member. Next, connect the lower suspension arm to the lower ball joint with 127 Nm (1,300 kgf-cm, 94 ft. lbs.) torque. Then, reinstall the front wheel using 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) torque and verification of front wheel alignment needs to be performed.

First, take off the 2 bolts on the front side with a torque of 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.), then remove the bolt and nut on the rear side, also at 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.), followed by the removal of the lower suspension arm and its bushing stopper.

Remove 2 bolts and nuts with a torque of 113 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.), taking care not to turn the nut.

Remove 4 nuts, 2 bolts, and 8 suspension member stoppers, applying a torque of 51 Nm (520 kgf-cm, 38 ft. lbs.) for A and 38 Nm (390 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs.) for B.

First, take off the 2 bolts on the front side with a torque of 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.), then remove the bolt and nut on the rear side, also with a torque of 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.), followed by the removal of the lower suspension arm and its bushing stopper.

Utilize Special Service Tool: 09649-17010, 09710-04081, along with a steel plate and press to remove the old bushing, and then use Special Service Tool: 09238-47012, 09649-17010, and a press to install the new bushing, ensuring it is oriented correctly.

Remove the 3 nuts to separate the engine mounting insulator FR.

Install the engine assembly with the transaxle for both the 2AZ-FE and 1MZ-FE engine types.

First, take out the 2 bolts on the front side with a torque of 206 Nm (2,100 kgf.cm, 152 ft. lbs.), then remove the bolt and nut on the rear side, also with a torque of 206 Nm (2,100 kgf.cm, 152 ft. lbs.).

Remove the left and right stabilizer brackets, then support the suspension member with a jack and remove the 4 nuts, 2 bolts, and suspension member lower stoppers, applying a torque of 51 Nm (520 kgf.cm, 38 ft. lbs.) for the bolts and Nut A, and 38 Nm (390 kgf.cm, 28 ft. lbs.) for Nut B.

Ensure to check the front wheel alignment after installation.

Torque the lock nuts to 56 Nm (570 kgf-cm, 41 ft. lbs.).

The lock nuts should be torqued to 56 Nm (570 kgf-cm, 41 ft. lbs.).
