Remove the lower arm mounting bolt (A), and remove the knuckle (B). Install the knuckle in the reverse order of removal, and note these items: Use a new O-ring on reassembly. Use a new lower arm mounting nut and control arm mounting nut on reassembly. Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the knuckle. Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values. First install all the components and lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight before fully tightening to the specified torque values. Tighten the castle nut to the lower torque value, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the hole in the stud. Do not align the castle nut by loosening it. Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surfaces of the rear hub and the inside of the brake disc. Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface on the brake disc and the inside of the wheel. Check the wheel alignment, and adjust if necessary. |
