To take out the left toe link, lift and support the car, remove the nuts of the wheel mount and remove the rear tire and wheel assembly. Before you start on the fuel system, first take out the fuel filler tube and then use jack stands to support the forward part of the engine cradle. If your vehicle has dual exhaust, slide a jack or stand under the
Muffler, unhook the exhaust isolators and let the exhaust fall onto the jack or stand. Put the jack beneath the center point of the differential, lift it into contact with the differential and hold it in place. Unfasten the
Shock Absorber mounting bolt and nut and next remove the bolts attaching the crossmember to the repair side of the car, making sure to not loosen the bolts on the other side. Lift the vehicle slightly and move the jack back down a little so you can see and reach the toe link bolt on the crossmember and take away the wheel speed sensor cable if present. As you grip the toe adjustment cam bolt, remove the nut fastening the toe link where it attaches to the crossmember, slide the cam to the rear and remove the bolt where it is fastened, then pull the tube out of the knuckle finally. For this side, repeat steps 1 to 3, elevate the vehicle, remove the wheel and remove the wheel speed sensor cable if you see one on the nut. Remove the nut at the crossmember after securing the toe adjustment cam bolt, move the cam bolt back and take out the bolt and nut at the knuckle. First, connect the crossmember end of the link to the box bracket, add the cam bolt and fasten the link to the knuckle, leaving some room in the nut for later adjustment. Install the cam washer and nut, attaching them to the crossmember with the cam bolt held and add the wheel speed sensor cable if you have it. Slowly lift the jack to fit the coil spring and the underside of the shock absorber into place, install the lower shock bolt and nut without tightening and confirm that the rear crossmember bolts are not switched. Place the crossmember so the mounting bolts are in position and fasten the bolts without tightening them all the way. Measure the distance between the tension link and the body weld flange and change the rear crossmember if required to ensure there are at least 12 mm between them. Prepare by doubling each side crossmember brace bolt to 180 Nm (133 ft. lbs.), lowering the vehicle and connecting the exhaust isolators. Place the fuel filler tube, attache the tires and wheels and make sure the wheel nuts are tightened to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.). After lowering the vehicle and placing it on the alignment rack, tighten the nut of the shock absorber lower mounting bolt to 72 Nm (53 ft. lbs.), the crossmember toe link fasteners to 108 Nm (80 ft. lbs.) and the toe link fasteners at the knuckle to 81 Nm (60 ft. lbs.), then do a wheel alignment. Place the end of the crossmember into the box bracket, slide the cam bolt into the link, fasten the link to the knuckle, but keep it loose, attach the cam washer and the nut at the crossmember using the cam bolt, add the wheel speed sensor cable if provided, lift the exhaust at the back to its place, install the wheel and tire assembly and tighten the wheel mounting nuts. When the vehicle is lowered, place it on an alignment rack to secure the toe link fasteners and carry out a wheel alignment.
