Lower Control Arm, Passenger Side

Service engineers should start FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM repair by removing both front wheels and hood sub-assemblies to suspend the engine assembly. You can disconnect the FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH by removing the clip along with the nut while using Special Service Tool: 09628-00011 to separate the lower arm from the steering knuckle. Perform the same steps to disconnect the FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY RH. To disconnect the FRONT STABILIZER BAR begin by securing the stabilizer bolt with a wrench to remove the nut followed by taking off the 2 retainers and the cushion then the stabilizer bolt while repeating on the opposite side. First disconnect the POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY by taking out the 4 bolts and nuts and suspending the steering link while doing so before disconnecting the PRESSURE FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY through bolt removal. Remove the FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER REINFORCEMENT LH and RH by extracting both their 2 bolts. Start by detaching the FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY after removing its bolt and 2 nuts then set the crossmember on a jack after which remove the remaining 4 bolts. Mucho Workshop will disconnect the FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH by extracting all its 2 bolts, the nut, and the lower arm without spinning the nut. Before attaching the nut to the FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH you must pivot the ball joint stud 5 times in each direction. You should then use a torque wrench to turn the nut steadily at a pace of 2 to 4 seconds per turn and read the torque on the fifth rotation. The FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH must be preliminarily installed with 2 nuts and 1 bolt before connecting the FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY through alignment using Special Service Tool: 09670-00010 followed by bolt A installation at 70 Nm then bolt B installation at 116 Nm and completing the installation with a bolt and 2 nuts torqued to 80 Nm. Secure the FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER REINFORCEMENT LH and RH with two bolts that reach 47 Nm torque. First bolt together the PRESSURE FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY with the bolt requiring 7.8 Nm torque strength and then attach the POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY using four nuts along with four bolts at a torque strength of 74 Nm. Install the 2 retainers along with cushion before applying a wrench to the stabilizer bolt to secure its nut (Torque: 18 Nm). The FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH must connect to the steering knuckle with a nut that reaches 98 Nm torque value while a new clip needs installation before increasing the nut torque an additional 60 degrees when the clip holes are misaligned. Install the front wheel on both sides by following the specified torque of 103 Nm. Fasten both bolts on the FRONT SUSPENSION NO. 1 LOWER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LH with a torque of 88 Nm for bolt A and 132 Nm for bolt B and avoid rotating the nut during installation. Check and modify both the hood sub-assembly and front wheel alignment before concluding.

The first task to replace the Lower FRONT SUSPENSION ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY LOWER NO.1 LH (MTM) involves wheel removal. Use Special Service Tool: 09628-00011 to disassemble the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH before proceeding to remove the stabilizer bar front. The front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH requires removal through a two-bolt and nut procedure but never wrench the nut. The front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH requires a 5-round ball joint stud flipping and nut installing procedure before using a torque wrench to apply continuous torque at a 2 to 4 second per turn rate, recording the 5th turn torque which should measure below 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.). First, loosely fasten the two bolts and nut onto the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH before joining it to the stabilizer bar front along with reinstallation of the front wheels at 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) torque. For the front suspension arm sub-assembly lower No.1 LH complete the installation by using two bolts which require torques of 88 Nm for Bolt A and 132 Nm for Bolt B but never turn the nut and end with wheel alignment inspection.

Flip the ball joint stud back and forth 5 times before installing the nut.

Take out 2 bolts each.

Remove it by taking out the 2 bolts and nut, ensuring not to turn the nut.

Take out 2 bolts and a nut, ensuring not to turn the nut.

Install the lower suspension arm with the 2 bolts, using a torque of 88 Nm (900 kgf-cm, 65 ft. lbs.) for bolt A and 132 Nm (1,350 kgf-cm, 97 ft. lbs.) for bolt B, ensuring not to turn the nut.

Inspect and adjust the front wheel alignment.

Use Special Service Tool: 09628-00011.

Hold the front stabilizer bolt with a spanner to remove the nut, then take out the retainers and cushion, and repeat on the other side.

Torque bolt A to 70 Nm and bolt B to 116 Nm.
