Lower Control Arm, Front Passenger Side

Service and repair of the control arm starts with taking off the front wheel while applying a torque of 104 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 77 ft. lbs.). The service starts with removing the lower suspension arm from the lower ball joint when you take off the 2 nuts and bolt using 127 Nm of torque (1,300 kgf-cm and 94 ft. lbs.). First remove two bolts on the front section by applying 206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.) torque before moving on to detach the bolt and nut on the rear section with the same torque value (206 Nm (2,100 kgf-cm, 152 ft. lbs.)). Then extract the lower suspension arm together with the lower suspension arm bushing stopper from the lower suspension arm shaft. Use Special Service Tools 09649-17010, 09710-04081 and a press to remove the existing lower suspension arm bushing before using Special Service Tools 09238-47012, 09649-17010 for installing a new bushing while orienting it appropriately prior to installation. Before completion the process ends with both removal steps followed by examination of the front wheel alignment.

Begin by removing the front wheel, ensuring a torque of 104 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 77 ft. lbs.).

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 the lower suspension arm bushing stopper from the lower suspension arm shaft.
