AXIAL END PLAY INSPECTION

Move tip of ball joint in axial direction to check for looseness.

If it is outside the specified range, replace compression rod assembly.
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 installation position between front suspension member and front cross bar (rub-
ber bushing) under unladen condition with tires on ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-21,
"SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS)" . Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

STABILIZER BARPFP:54611
Removal and InstallationNES0000E
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove undercover with power tool.
3. Remove mounting nut on upper portion of stabilizer connecting rod with power tool.
4. Remove fixing bolts and nuts, then remove stabilizer clamp, stabilizer bushing, and stabilizer clamp
bracket.
5. Remove stabilizer bar from vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check stabilizer bar, stabilizer connecting rod, stabilizer bushing, stabilizer clamp and stabilizer clamp bracket
for deformation, cracks and damage, and replace if necessary.
INSTALLATION

Refer to FSU-8, "Components" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten each bolt and nut as shown in the figure for tightening
stabilizer bracket and stabilizer clamp. Tightening order is as fol-
lows. 1 (fully tighten) → 2 (temporarily tighten) → 3 (temporarily
tighten) → 2 (fully tighten) → 3 (fully tighten) → 4, 5 (temporarily
tighten) → 4, 5 (fully tighten).

TOWER BARPFP:544A2
Removal and Installation NES0000G
COMPONENTS
REMOVAL
1. Fix center bolt, and then loosen nut in the right and left side.
2. Loosen center bolt to the direction in the figure on 660° (Or turn
bolt 1.7 times) to place the black mark of center bolt above.
3. Remove tower bar fixing bolts and nuts, and remove tower bar
from vehicle with power tool.
INSTALLATION
1. Install tower bar and tighten at the specified torque.
NOTE:
If it is hard to install tower bar, install it turning center bolt.
2. Tighten center bolt to the direction in the figure on 660° (Or turn
bolt 1.7 times) to place the black mark of center bolt above.
NOTE:
The space between tower bar and engine collector should be
between 10.0 mm (0.394 in) and 17.0 mm (0.669 in).
3. Tighten both nut of the right and left side of center bolt.
