You must start front control arm service and repair work by unwheeling the front wheel while maintaining 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) torque. Dismantle the engine under cover followed by lower suspension arm removal from its lower
Ball Joint position through bolt and 2 nut application of 142 Nm (1,450 kgf-cm, 105 ft. lbs.) torque after which the 2 bolts, nut, and lower suspension arm can be unmounted at 137 Nm (1,397 kgf-cm, 101 ft. lbs.). Users should start by removing the engine under covers then disconnect the RH and LH tie rod ends using Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 while removing the nut and cotter pin with a torque of 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). The procedure should be repeated for the other side. The vehicle requires a hexagon wrench for completing this step. Remove the RH and LH stabilizer bar links from the
Shock Absorber by using a torque of 44 Nm (449 kgf-cm, 32 ft. lbs.) and disconnecting the ball joint if it turns with the nut. Remove the bolt along with 2 nuts from the lower ball joints on both RH and LH suspension lower arms using 142 Nm of torque (1,450 kgf-cm, 105 ft. lbs.). Repeat this step for the other side. Loosen the lower suspension arm set bolts with a torque of 137 Nm (1,397 kgf-cm, 101 ft. lbs.), then remove the engine hood and attach the engine sling device to the engine hangers, disconnecting the 2 PCV hoses and installing the No. 1 and No. 2 engine hangers in the correct direction, using parts No.: (1ZZ-FE engine) No. 1 engine hanger: 12281-22021, No. 2 engine hanger: 12281-15040 or 12281-15050, Bolt: 91512-B1016, or (2ZZ-GE engine) No. 1 engine hanger: 12281-88600, No. 2 engine hanger: 12282-88600, Bolt: 91512-61020, with a torque of 38 Nm (387 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs.). The engine chain hoist should attach to engine hangers with the condition that the engine remains balanced by only the hangers. After using a torque wrench to remove the 4 set bolts (Torque: 58 Nm, 591 kgf-cm, 43 ft. lbs.) from the PS gear assembly suspension member, suspend the PS gear assembly properly. Use a torque wrench to remove bolt A along with 3 nuts which disconnects the engine rear mount at 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft. lbs.). Next, disconnect the engine front mount with the same torque by removing bolts B. The suspension member needs support with a transmission jack before removing 6 bolts (C and D) while torquing bolt C to 157 Nm (1,600 kgf-cm, 116 ft. lbs.) and torquing bolt D to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.). Afterward, eliminate the lower suspension arm and its 2 bolts and nut. The installation process reverses the order of removal and the front wheel alignment needs verification after everything is assembled.
