Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten the nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-21, "
Component" .
• Perform the final tightening of the nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition
(unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification, and
the spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.
• Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-23, "
Wheel AlignmentInspection" . Swinging force “A” : Refer to RSU-43, "

ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the shock absorber lower end bolt.
4. Remove the adjusting bolt and nut, and the bolt and nut, from
the front lower link and rear suspension member using power
tool.
5. Remove the front lower link pinch bolt and nut on the knuckle
side using power tool.
6. Disconnect the front lower link from the knuckle using a soft
hammer.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the ball joint with the soft hammer.
