2009 Toyota Venza Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Front Cross-Member and associated components on 2009 Toyota Venza?

  A: First secure the new front suspension member body mounting rear cushion LH according to its correct orientation by using Special Service Tool: 09830-10010 to clamp it down until no space remains between the front suspension member and the cushion. The same tool should be used to mount the front suspension member body mounting rear cushion RH. Move the front suspension member body mounting front cushion into place after making sure of its correct orientation and fasten it using Special Service Tool: 09830-10010 then verify that no clearance exists. After installing the front suspension member body mounting rear stopper and front stopper the technician must fit the front suspension member dynamic damper for 2WD by using two bolts which require a torque of 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf). Both front lower suspension arms require installation following identical procedures on the left-hand and right-hand sides. The technician should tighten front engine mounting insulator assembly and engine mounting insulator LH, engine mounting insulator RH, and rear engine mounting insulator for the 2GR-FE. Then they must install the front frame assembly of this same engine. The complete torque tightening for the 2GR-FE engine involves assembling front engine mounting insulator and both engine mounting insulators LH and RH and rear engine mounting insulator. Perform the partial and complete tightening methods two times on the 1AR-FE AWD engine components consisting of the front engine mounting insulator assembly along with engine mounting insulator LH and engine mounting insulator RH and rear engine mounting insulator. The last step consists of fitting the steering link assembly with the front stabilizer bar along with the front stabilizer link assembly followed by the front No. 1 stabilizer bracket LH and RH until the engine assembly with transaxle installation is finished for both the 2GR-FE and 1AR-FE engines.
