20. Install the exhaust hanger (A) to the three way
catalytic converter (TWC) (B).
21. Connect the lower arm (A) to the lower ball joint (B).
22. Install a new flange bolt and the new self-locking nuts. After lightly tightening all three fasteners,
tighten them to the specified torque in the
following order; the self-locking nut on the front (C),
the self-locking nut on the rear (D), then the flange
bolt (E). 23. Remove the vinyl tape, then connect the EPS motor
connector A (2P), the EPS motor connector B (1P),
torque sensor 4P connector (C), the EPS motor
angle sensor 6P connector (D) to the steering
gearbox. Make sure to push these connectors until
you hear a click so that the connectors are secured.
24. Install the front splash shield (see page 20-172).
25. Wipe off any grease contamination from the ball joint tapered section and the threads. Reconnect
the tie-rod ends (A) to the steering knuckles. Install
the 12 mm nut (B) and tighten it.
26. Install the new cotter pin (C), and bend it as shown (D) or (E).
27. Install the front wheel, then set the wheels in the straight ahead position.
NOTE: Before installing the wheel, clean the mating
surfaces between the brake disc and inside of the
wheel.

34. Install the steering wheel (see page 17-8).
35. With the tires raised off the ground (vehicle on a
lift), check for the following symptoms by turning
the steering wheel fully to the right and left several
times.
Rubbing sound
coming from the
lower steering
column area. Steering column joint
is contacting the cover.
Grating sound from
the lower steering
column area, or a
rough feeling during
steering. Poor engagement of
the pinion shaft
serrations.
Noise from around
the steering wheel
during steering. Poor engagement of
the SRS cable reel with
the steering wheel, or a
damaged cable reel.
36. Install the air cleaner housing (see page 11- 345).
37. Install the under cowl panel and cowl cover (see page 20-163). 38. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure
(see page 22-68), and do these tasks:
 Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds
and then goes off.
 Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
 Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
39. After installation, do the following checks:  Check the steering wheel spoke angle. If steeringspoke angles to the right and left are not equal
(steering wheel and rack are not centered),
correct the engagement of the joint/pinion shaft
splines.
 Set the steering column to the center tilt position, and to the center telescopic position, then check
the wheel alignment and adjust (see page 18-5).
 Make sure the steering wheel spokes are centered.
 Start the engine, and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times. Check that
the EPS indicator does not come on.
 Do the memorizing for the torque sensor neutral position (see page 17-22).

Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front
toe, and rear toe. However, each of these adjustments
are related to each other. For example, when you adjust
camber, the toe will change. Therefore, you must adjust
the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber
or toe.
For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel
alignment, do these checks: 1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Make sure the fuel tank is full, and that the spare tire, the jack, and the tools are in place on the
vehicle.
4. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
5. Check the runout of the wheels and tires (see page 18-9). 6. Check the suspension ball joints (Hold a tire with
your hands, and move it up and down and right and
left to check for movement).
7. Before doing alignment inspections, be sure to remove all extra weight from the vehicle, and no
one should be inside the vehicle (driver or
passengers).
8. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
9. Check that the steering column is set at the center tilt and telescopic position.
Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Check the caster angle.
 If the measurement is within specifications,measure the camber angle.
 If the measurement is not within specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension
components.

Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.1. Check the camber angle. NOTE: There are two types of rear upper arms. Those that are marked with ‘‘C’’ (A), and those with no
marks. Be sure to use the correct alignment
specifications.
 If the measurement is within specification, measure the toe-in.
 If the measurement for the front camber is outside the specification, go to front camber
adjustment.
 If the measurement for the rear camber is outside the specification, check for bent or damaged
suspension components. The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or
both of the damper pinch bolts with a smaller diameter
adjusting bolt. The difference between the adjusting
bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allows
for a small range of adjustment.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Loosen the damper pinch bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle by moving the bottom of the damper
within the range of the damper pinch bolt free play.
4. Tighten the damper pinch bolts to the specified torque.
5. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.
6. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle up and down several times to
stabilize the suspension.
Replace.
