Installation

(a) Temporarily install the rear strut rod assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and the nut.

NOTICE:

• Ensure that the identification mark faces the inside of the vehicle.
• Since a stopper nut is used, temporarily tighten the bolt.

(b) Set the rear strut rod assembly in the tightening position shown in the illustration.

Standard angle (A):

9°54' (9.9°)

Standard length (B):

83.9 mm (3.30 in.)

(c) Fully tighten the bolt in the tightening position.

Torque:

80 N·m {816 kgf·cm, 59 ft·lbf}

(d) Temporarily install the rear strut rod assembly to the body with the bolt and the nut.

(e) Using SST and a socket wrench (17 mm), fully tighten the bolt in the rebound position.

SST: 09961-00950

Torque:

Specified Tightening Torque :

80 N·m {816 kgf·cm, 59 ft·lbf}

NOTICE:

• Since the stopper nut is used, fully tighten the bolt.
• This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

HINT:

• Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length for the torque wrench (See page ).


• When using SST (fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.91 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 425 mm (1.39 ft.)):

  59 N*m (603 kgf*cm, 44 ft.*lbf)

• Since a stopper nut is used, temporarily tighten the bolt.

(b) Set the rear strut rod assembly in the tightening position shown in the illustration.

Standard angle (A):

9°3' (9.04°)

Standard length (B):

78.3 mm (3.08 in.)

(c) Fully tighten the bolt in the tightening position.

(a) Install the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly with the bolt.

Torque:

6 N·m {61 kgf·cm, 53 in·lbf}

NOTICE:

Do not twist the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly when installing it.
