How do you replace the Suspension Strut Rod assembly on the LH side on Toyota Highlander?

The LH side strut rod replacement begins with wheel removal. First support the rear axle carrier before you remove the bolt, nut and disconnect the parking brake cable. Disassemble the strut rod from the front aspect by removing its bolt and nut and disconnecting it by fixing the nut when you remove the bolt. Proceed by taking out the bolt, nut and strut rod from the rear axle carrier then reposition the nut before unthreading the bolt. Secure the temporary strut rod installation by attaching it to the rear position and inserting the inner bolt then tightening it to a secure level. Sustain the rear axle carrier and fasten the strut rod on the inner side with a torque setting of 113 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm and 83 ft. lbs.). Check the suspension stability by using a wood block to lift the rear axle carrier while ensuring the 2WD bolt of suspension arm assembly No. 1 faces horizontally at the center of the axle hub and 4WD models have their rear drive shaft in level alignment. The rear suspension is completed by using a torque wrench to tighten the strut rod assembly to 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 91 ft. lbs.) followed by installing the brake cable assembly using a bolt with nut that should be torqued to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.). The rear wheel requires torque installation to 103 Nm along with a subsequent check of the wheel alignment status.
