Start by supporting and raising the vehicle, removing the wheel and tire and after that, take off the
Brake Caliper assembly and the rotor. After that, take out the cotter pin and nut from the tie rod and use Puller C-3894-A to remove the
Tie Rod End from the
Steering Knuckle. Then, remove the stabilizer bar link from the suspension arm and prop up the lower arm's outboard side so the jack is in front of the shock mount. First, take out the cotter pin and nut, then separated the
Ball Joint with Remover C-4150A. Release the suspension arm from the lower shock bolt, remove the jack, release the tension in the spring and rubber isolator and take out the spring and rubber isolator. After that, loosen and take out the suspension arm bolts attached to the crossmember. During installation, place the suspension arm on the crossmember and attach the bolts and nuts firmly, though not fully tight. Put the rubber isolator over the spring and push the spring into the upper spring seat. Pull the lower suspension arm up with a jack and place the spring inside the mount on the arm. Put in the lower shock bolts after backing off the lower shock bolt protectors and tighten both to 142 Nm (105 ft. lbs.). Bolt the steering knuckle to the lower ball joint, tighten the lower ball joint nut to 136 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) and install the other side's cotter pin. Secure the stabilizer bar link to the lower suspension arm by first inserting the grommet through the hole and tightening the retainer and nut to 37 Nm (27 ft. lbs.). Replace the end of the tie rod on the steering knuckle, fasten the nut with 108 Nm (80 ft. lbs.) of torque and fit the cotter pin inside. Bolting down the caliper and brake rotor should be followed by fitting the wheel and tire. When the car is supported, move it downward, tighten the suspension arm crossmember nuts firmly to 169 Nm (125 ft. lbs.) and remove the support.
