Question 1

How to remove the front cross-member on Toyota Highlander?

Accepted Answer

The front cross-member can be removed only after separating the engine assembly that contains either a 2GR-FE or a 1AR-FE transaxle unit. The procedure to remove the No. 1 front stabilizer bracket follows suit by first taking off the LH bracket and then the RH bracket. First uninstall the front bar with its attached link assembly then proceed to uninstall the power steering link assembly. Engine hangers need installation according to corresponding engine type before removing the front frame assemblies for both 2GR-FE and 1AR-FE. The technician should first disconnect the transverse engine mounting insulator on the 2GR-FE engine before proceeding with the removal of both front lower suspension arms LH and RH according to the same procedure for both sides. Use Special Service Tool: 09830-10010 to detach the front suspension member dynamic damper by removing its two bolts and then separate the front suspension member body mounting front stopper and rear stopper and front cushion. During removal tighten the tool evenly while paying attention to prevent the cushion from escaping because it cannot be reused. Perform the same removal process while using Special Service Tool number 09830-10010 on both the left-hand LH front suspension member body mounting rear cushion and right-hand RH front suspension member body mounting rear cushion.

Question 2

How to install the Front Cross-Member on Toyota Corolla?

Accepted Answer

The first installation step for the front suspension member requires mounting the front stabilizer bar and steering link assembly and then moving onto the front lower suspension arms. Mount both left and right front lower suspension arms on their respective sides only for temporary purposes. When installing the dynamic damper on front suspension members of TMC Made vehicles apply 52 Nm torque to the bolt; other models require only damper installation. The sub-assembly of the center engine mounting member requires temporary installation with four bolts. Use Special Service Tool: 09670-00010 to insert into both sides of front suspension crossmember sub-assembly guide holes before TMC Made vehicles can tighten bolts A to 113 Nm, bolts B to 157 Nm, bolt C to 52 Nm, and nuts D to 52 Nm. Other vehicle models require users to install Bias Plates then tighten Bolt D to 87 Nm and Nut E to 52 Nm. The center engine mounting member assembly requires four bolts to be fully tightened according to the specifications of 39 Nm for Bolt A (TMC Made) or 60 Nm (except TMC Made) and 52 Nm for Bolt B (TMC Made) or 81 Nm (except TMC Made). Doctors should tighten two front hook assembly bolts to 39 Nm torque. Tighten the front lower suspension arms, stabilizer link assemblies and tie rod end sub-assemblies of both sides. The first step involves setting the engine under both covers while attaching the No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly together with the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly. First position the wheels exactly straight ahead before adding the column hole cover silencer sheet and tightening the front wheels to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Both front lower suspension arms need full stabilization while the technician tightens them to specifications. Examining and correcting front wheel alignment must be performed as the final step.

Question 3

How to install the Front Cross-Member on Toyota Matrix?

Accepted Answer

The installation of the 4WD front suspension member requires first installing the front lower suspension arm LH followed by the front lower suspension arm RH using the same approach. You should first attach the center engine mounting member sub-assembly with four bolts before adding the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with four bolts and then the front suspension member sub-assembly with a single bolt combined with two nuts. Use the steering link assembly to connect the assembly before installing the No. 1 front stabilizer bracket LH with two bolts torqued at 24 Nm (245 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). The procedure should be repeated for the No. 1 front stabilizer bracket RH. Apply Special Service Tool: 09670-00010 into reference holes of the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly while tightening bolts A to 113 Nm and B to 157 Nm and C to 52 Nm and nuts D to 52 Nm during multiple tensioning stages. The center engine mounting member sub-assembly requires fully tightening four bolts that include torquing bolt A to 60 Nm (612 kgf-cm, 44 ft-lbf) and bolt B to 81 Nm (826 kgf-cm, 60 ft-lbf). The front hook assembly requires two bolts to be torqued to 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). After which install the front lower suspension arms LH and RH through this same procedure. The mechanic attaches the under covers LH and RH to the engine space before installing the No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly and the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly. After positioning the front wheels directly ahead, install the column hole cover silencer sheet before torquing front wheels to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). The suspension needs stabilization followed by full tightening of both front lower suspension arms LH and RH with this same method and concluding with an inspection of the front wheel alignment.
