  Q: How to remove the Control Arm on Toyota Venza?

  A:

  The first step to remove the AWD rear lower arm includes taking out the rear wheels along with the center Exhaust Pipe assembly. Secondly you must take out the propeller combined with the center bearing shaft assembly. Separate the rear height control sensor sub-assembly by removing its nut and properly wiring the sensor link with wire or another equivalent tool. Proceed with each parking brake cable assembly starting from No. 3 before moving to No. 2. Perform this action simultaneously on both sides. The technician should remove rear strut rod assemblies from both left and right sides of the vehicle. The procedure to remove the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH consists of marking the adjust cams first and then disassembling the components by removing bolt (A) and nut followed by nut (B), the No. 2 camber adjust cam, rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly and lastly separating the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH but preventing the toe adjust cam from rotating. Repetition of this procedure needs to occur when working on the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly RH. Move to separate the rear No. 1 suspension arm assemblies of both sides by unscrewing the bolt and nut yet tightening the bolt first because of the stopper nut. You can remove the No. 1 floor under cover by first disconnecting the 5 clips before removing the 2 clamps that separate the frame wire from the body. Users should disconnect the connector followed by unclipping the clamp until the No. 3 floor wire separates from the rear suspension member. You should support the rear suspension member with a jack resting on 3 wooden blocks before you remove its 4 nuts, 2 bolts, and 2 rear lower suspension member stopper retainers thus allowing you to lower the member to 100 mm (3.94 in.). To complete the process remove the bolt and nut from the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH before doing the same removal steps on the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly RH.

  Q: How to install the front lower Control Arm on Toyota Venza?

  A:

  Start by uniting the front lower arm bushing stopper to the front lower suspension arm before holding it to the front frame assembly with three bolts and a temporary nut. Start from the front of the vehicle when installing bolts and torque them to the following specifications: Bolt 1 and 2 receive 200 Nm (2039 kgf-cm, 147 ft-lbf) while Bolt 3 requires 206 Nm (2100 kgf-cm, 152 ft-lbf). Mounting insulator LH needs temporary tightness on both 2GR-FE and 1AR-FE engines before installing front frames of either engine type. Mount the rear engine mounting insulator before securing both engine types with a full torque on the engine mounting insulator LH. Begin installation of the AWD steering link assembly after which install the front stabilizer bar together with the front stabilizer link assembly for AWD. The front No. 1 stabilizer bracket LH and RH installation for AWD requires the same method to be applied to the RH side. You should install the engine assembly with transaxle for both 2GR-FE and 1AR-FE.
