FUEL TANK
7. Remove fuel tank bands, and lower the transmission jack care-
fully until harness connector (A), EVAP tube (B), fuel filler hose
(E) and vent hose (F) can be disconnected.
8. Disconnect harness connector (A), EVAP tube (B), fuel filler
hose (E) and vent hose (F).
9. Supporting with hands, lower transmission jack carefully, and remove fuel tank.
CAUTION:
lPay attention not to fall fuel tank.
lMake sure that all connection points have been disconnected.
lConfirm there is no interference with vehicle.
10. Remove fuel filler tubes, fuel filler hoses and vent hoses if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
lSurely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.
lBe sure hose clamp is not positioned on swelled area of fuel tube.
lTighten fuel hose clamp so that the flange (A) of bolt head is on
the paint mark (B) on the band.
lFit mounting band pin to the vehicle side securely.
lBefore fixing the fuel tank, temporarily install the fuel filler tube.
CAUTION:
Use genuine fuel filler tube mounting bolts or equivalent. Make sure to tighten them to the speci-
fied torque.
lConnect quick connector as follows.
1. Check connection for damage and foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert connector straight into tube until a click is heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure by following the steps below.
lVisually confirm that the two tabs are connected to connector.

Front Suspension PartsEES002KM
Check front suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear and
other damage.
lShake each front wheel to check for excessive play.
If looseness is noted, inspect wheel bearing end play, then
check ball joint end play. Refer toFSU-15, "
Inspection".
lMake sure that the cotter pin is inserted in drive shaft end (4WD
models only).
lRetighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
lCheck shock absorber for oil leakage and other damage.
lCheck suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint
dust cover for cracks and other damage.
Front Wheel AlignmentEES002KN
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
WARNING:
Always adjust the alignment with the vehicle on a flat surface.
NOTE:
If alignment is out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts before
making any adjustments.
1. Check and adjust the wheel alignment with the vehicle under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions”
means that the fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full; and that the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in
their designated positions.
2. Check the tires for incorrect air pressure and excessive wear.
3. Check the wheels for run out and damage. Refer toWT-3, "
Inspection".
4. Check the wheel bearing axial end play. Refer toFA X - 5 , "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION".
5. Check the shock absorbers for leaks or damage.
6. Check each mounting point of the suspension components for any excessive looseness or damage.
7. Check each link, arm, and the rear suspension member for any damage.
8. Check the vehicle height. Refer toFSU-21, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1)". Suspension component torques : Refer toFSU-6,
"Components".SMA525A

InspectionEES002KU
lCheck the ball joint for excessive play. Replace the upper or lower link assembly if any of the following
exists:
lBall joint stud is worn.
lBalljointishardtoswing.
lBall joint play in axial directions or end play is excessive.
SWINGING FORCE
NOTE:
Before checking the axial forces and end play, turn the lower ball joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball
joint is properly broken in.
TURNING FORCE
NOTE:
Before checking the axial forces and end play, turn the lower ball joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball
joint is properly broken in.
VERTICAL END PLAY
Check dust cover for damage. Replace it and the cover clamp if necessary.
NOTE:
Before checking the axial forces and end play, turn the lower ball
joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball joint is properly broken in.Swinging force “A” (Measurment point at either cotter
