The lower control arm is fitted by aligning the rear with the front suspension crossmember, setting the front and fastening it together, leaving the front bolt loose. Tighten the attaching nut and bolt on the rear to a torque of 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Then, put the lower control arm ball joint stud into the
Steering Knuckle and attach it with the castle nut. Introduce the
Tie Rod End inside the steering knuckle, begin twisting on the attaching nut onto the stud, lock the stud with one hand and then tighten it to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.) with a crowfoot and 11/32 socket. Secure the ball joint stud castle nut by turning it to 74 Nm (55 ft. lbs.) and place the cotter pin next to it. Put the bushing clamp through its two mounting holes so it lines up with the
Sway Bar Link and tighten the bolts to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.). Fit the stabilizer bar link onto the lower control arm and torque it with a value of 102 Nm (75 ft. lbs.) while keeping the stud held with an Allen wrench. Fit the clevis loosely on the thru-bolt and check that you are not putting the jack stand where the ball joint cap would be. When the weight is supported by the jack stand and lower control arm, reduce the vehicle, then tighten the clevis to lower control arm bushing thru-bolt nut bolt to 65 ft. lbs. Secure the front lower control arm nut and bolt with 182 Nm (135 ft. lbs.) and the wheel mounting stud nuts with half the recommended torque for now, after that tighten all bolts and nuts to the full torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Then, take out the jack stand and test the car's alignment, making sure the front toe is to your preferred, proper amount.
