If necessary, put the hub and bearing (1) inside the front steering knuckle first. Screw the hub and bearing (1) onto the knuckle (3) with four bolts (2), tightening them to 82 Nm (60 ft. lbs.). Should you decide to attach the shield, put it on the knuckle and tighten the three screws (2) to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.). Slide the bearings and hub onto the splines of one half shaft outer C/V joint and then lower the ball joint stud into the mounting hole in the
Control Arm. For each ball joint stud nut (4), screw in a NEW joint nut and tighten it to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). The strut clevis bolts (5) have serrations, so do not turn them during installation; instead, tighten the nuts with the bolts stationary. Fix the lower end of the strut assembly onto the knuckle and install the two bolts from below. Put on the trip nuts (2) and join them to the bolts (5) by tightening until you reach 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Insert the tie rod's outer tie rod (6) ball stud into the knuckle (2) arm, then screw the nut (4) onto the stud as much as you can by hand. Hold onto the stud with a wrench and tighten the nut to 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs.). Insert the wheel speed sensor head into the knuckle, add the socket screw and secure all using 12 Nm (106 in. lbs. of tightening). After that, install the brake rotor, disc
Brake Caliper and adapter. Make sure the outer half shaft C/V joint is clean, then set the hub nut (1) in the end of the shaft (2) and tighten it just enough for now. As the helper keeps the hub from rotating, tighten the hub nut (3) to 132 Nm (97 ft. lbs.). Attach the wheel and tire assembly (1) by screwing on the wheel nuts to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). When the job is done, set the tires using any necessary adjustments to the wheel alignment.
