    [RH]
    [LH]
  5. Remove the shoulder bolt and lock nut to disconnect the side arm from the strut assembly.

    Tightening torque: 137.3 ~ 157 N·m (14.0 ~ 16.0 kgf·m, 101.3 ~ 115.7 lbf·ft)
    • Before tightening the bolts, make sure the orientation is correct.
    • Tightening the bolts in the opposite direction results in insufficient clearance between the links.
  6. Loosen the cotter pin and nut, then remove the side arm using SST (09568-2J100).

    Tightening torque: 88.3 ~ 108 N·m

  7. Install in the reverse order of removal.
  8. Check the front alignment. (Refer to Wheels/Tires - "Camber and Toe")
  9. Loosen the wheel nuts slightly. Raise the vehicle and make sure it is securely supported.
  10. Remove the front wheel and tire (A) from the front hub.

    Tightening torque: 88.3 ~ 108 N·m
    Be careful not to damage the hub bolts when removing the front wheel and tire.
  11. Remove the cotter pin and castellated nut from the end of the tie rod (A) and the tension arm (B). Tightening torque: Tie rod: 88.3 ~ 108 N·m Tension arm: 88.3 ~ 108 N·m
  12. Apply grease to the special service tool (09568-2J100) as shown in the following illustration. Then use the special service tool to separate the tie rod end (A) and tension arm (B) from the steering knuckle.
  13. Remove the flange bolt and lock nut to remove the tension arm (A) from the frame.

    Tightening torque: 137.3 ~ 157 N·m (14.0 ~ 16.0 kgf·m, 101.3 ~ 115.7 lbf·ft)
    Tightening the bolts in the reverse direction makes it more difficult to install the subframe, so pay attention to the installation direction during assembly.
