The front wheel needs removal before the upper control arm service and repair process begins while ensuring the torque parameter reaches 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). Service the upper control arm starting with the removal of the front wheel which should be torqued at 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). Vehicles with ABS require disconnecting the ABS speed sensor by unbolting the sensor from the steering knuckle (8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 inch lbs.)) and unfastening the three wire harness clamps on the upper suspension arm and steering knuckle (8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 inch lbs.)). The stabilizer bar link must be detached by removing two nuts along with the link, two retainers and two bushings, utilized with a torque of 29.5 Nm (300 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.) for the stabilizer bar and 90 Nm (920 kgf-cm, 66 ft. lbs.) for the lower arm. Leveraging a jack to support the lower suspension arm enables the disconnection of the upper ball joint that requires removal of the cotter pin followed by loosening the nut to 110 Nm torque (1,100 kgf-cm with Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to remove the steering knuckle from the upper ball joint. The jack must stay in position. Disconnect the upper suspension arm by first removing the two bolts before extracting the alignment adjusting shims at the front and rear (torque 130 Nm (1,300 kgf-cm, 94 ft. lbs.)) then taking out the two bolts and retainers alongside the upper suspension arm. Note the shim number and thickness during removal. To remove the upper ball joint you must detach its four bolts and nuts as well as the ball joint from the upper suspension arm (torque: 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.)). Before installing the nut close the upper ball joint stud five times then apply a torque wrench to measure the turning torque at a range of 0.5 - 3.5 Nm (5 - 35 kgf-cm, 4 - 30 inch lbs.). To replace the part, first detach the lock bolts together with the two retaining bolts and shaft bolts from the arm shaft. Then cut off the shaded portions of the tubes to reveal their edges. Position the suspension arm tube using press down Special Service Tool: 09710-30021 (09710-03031, 09710-03141) until the tool touches its surface but avoid excessive force. Install a temporary bolt between 45 to 50 mm long (1.8 to 2.0 inches long) onto the opposite side of the arm shaft before using the same tool and press to retrieve the bushing and arm shaft in sequence with Special Service Tool: 09710-30021 (09710-03071, 09710-03141). Place the arm shaft on the bushing then insert it into the bushing with Special Service Tool: 09710-30021 (09710-03101) and a press during installation. Check that the arm shaft moves freely and lacks axis misconduct then bolt down the lock nuts while putting the arm shaft at a 90-degree angle to the suspension arm using 125 Nm (1,270 kgf-cm, 92 ft. lbs.) torque. The process ends by doing installation in the reverse order of removal and conducting checks on front wheel alignment and ABS speed sensor signal after the installation process completes.
