How to Install the Rear Upper Control Arm on 2008 Jeep Compass?

First place the rear upper control arm and install a bolt that holds it to the crossmember, but just secure it loosely. Now, secure the top part of the control arm to the trailing link with a bolt and a nut, not tightening them yet. After that, install the tire and wheel assembly and tighten the wheel mounting nuts to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Wheel the vehicle underneath an alignment rack or a drive-on lift, lowering it and raising it as you work on getting to the mounting bolts. The upper control arm mounting bolt on the crossmember should have torque of 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.), as well as the upper control arm mounting bolt nut at the trailing link with torque of 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Take your car into the shop for wheel alignment whenever it is required.
