Before mounting, if a shield is needed, fix it to the knuckle with 3 screws tightened to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.). If placing a hub and bearing is necessary, set them onto the knuckle spindle, next tighten the hub nut (1) to 250 Nm (184 ft. lbs.), follow that with a new dust cap (2) to preserve the seal. Before fitting the knuckle onto the lower
Control Arm, measure the height of the ball joint seal boot (1); if more than 25.5 mm is shown, expel any air by tipping the ball joint stud, squeezing the seal boot to get the air out, pushing down on the top, returning the stud to its center position and remeasuring. As soon as the seal boot is properly installed, place knuckle (1) onto the lower ball joint studs and loosen the new nuts with your hands. Be sure to correctly tighten the nuts to keep the ball stud joints from getting damaged. Attach a new nut (5) tightly onto the ball joint stud which secures the lower control arm (4) to the knuckle (1), at a torque of 68 Nm + 90° turn, using a hex wrench to hold the stud all the time. Do the same for the next nut (3) which links the tension strut (2) to the knuckle (1). Feed the top ball joint stud's end (1) through the knuckle, then screw on nut (4) and tighten to 47 Nm and 90° rotation. After that, thread the outer tie rod stud through the knuckle (2) and attach with nut (1), turning the nut to achieve 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs. of torque). After that, put in the brake rotor, then the disc
Brake Caliper and lastly the adapter assembly. Screw routing bracket (2) into knuckle (4) with a torque of 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.) and secure wheel speed sensor head (4) into knuckle (4) with screw (3) at a torque of 11 Nm (95 in. lbs.). Conexionally, attach the wheel speed sensor cable and routing clip (2) to the brake flex hose routing bracket (5) and after that, fix the tire and wheel assembly (1) and tighten the wheel mounting nuts (3) to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) in general models or 190 Nm (140 ft. lbs.) if tighter tension is required for police models. Release the suspension, try the brakes a few times to confirm they're solid, keep the reservoir (1) filled with brake fluid and have the wheels aligned.
