  Q: How to service and repair the rear control arm on Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: The servicing and repairing process of the rear control arm begins with removing the engine under covers. Researchers should detach the strut rod by removing its 2 bolts and 2 nuts without twisting the nuts and torquing the bolts to 78 Nm (796 kgf-cm, 58 ft. lbs.) when stabilizing the suspension for installation. You must start the No. 1 lower suspension arm removal by removing two bolts and two nuts while torquing bolt A to 87 Nm (887 kgf-cm, 64 ft. lbs.) and bolt B to 103 Nm (1,051 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.), making sure to not turn the nuts and torque them after stabilizing the suspension during installation. Place matchmarks on the cam plate and suspension member of the No. 2 lower suspension arm before removing its nut and cam plate and cam bolt. Install while stabilizing the suspension and torque the components to 87 Nm (887 kgf-cm, 64 ft. lbs.). A new nut should be installed before stabilizing the suspension and torquing with 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). The Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 should be used for No. 2 lower suspension arm extraction. The wheel alignment check should be conducted following installation after executing removal in reverse order.
