SION ARM
Torque: 135 N´m (1,400 kgf´cm, 100 ft´lbf)
4. CONNECT STABILIZER BAR LINK TO LOWER SUS-
PENSION ARM
Torque: 69 N´m (700 kgf´cm, 51 ft´lbf)
HINT:
If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a hexagon (6 mm)
wrench to hold the stud.
5. INSTALL POWER STEERING GEAR
Torque:
A bolt: 165 N´m (1,700 kgf´cm, 122 ft´lbf)
B nut: 130 N´m (1,350 kgf´cm, 96 ft´lbf)
C bolt and nut: 165 N´m (1,700 kgf´cm, 122 ft´lbf)
