INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks, or damage. If any non-standard condition is found,
replace it.
INSTALLATION

Refer to FSU-8, "Components" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Perform final tightening of front suspension member installation position and shock absorber lower side
(rubber bushing) under unladen condition with tires on ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-21,
