Strut Rod, Rear

The first step for installing the rear strut rod requires temporarily tightening the rear strut rod (rear side) using bolt and nut while maintaining the nut from rotation. Secure the rear axle carrier while connecting the rear strut rod (inner side) to its bolt and nut by preventing nut rotation during screwing. The rear axle carrier needs to be raised using a wooden block to prevent damage then load must be applied to the suspension until the rear suspension No. 1 arm inner side bolt becomes horizontally aligned with the center of the rear axle hub. Both bolts need to reach a tightness of 113 Nm (1,152 kgf-cm, 83ft-lbf). Fasten the parking brake No. 3 cable assembly with its bolt then tighten it to 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53in-lbf). The rear wheel installation should conclude with torquing it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76ft-lbf).

Support the rear axle carrier and connect the rear strut rod (inner side) with the bolt and nut, again temporarily tightening the bolt while keeping the nut from rotating.

Temporarily tighten the rear strut rod (rear side) using the bolt and nut while ensuring the nut does not rotate.

Use the bolt to reconnect it, tightening it to 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 inch lbs.).
