(1) with a power tool, and then remove stabilizer connecting rod
(1) from strut assembly.
5. Loosen steering outer socket (1) nut.
6. Remove steering outer socket (1) from steering knuckle (2) so
as not to damage ball joint boot (3) using Tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads
and to prevent the Tool from suddenly coming off.
7. Remove rear torque rod. Refer to EM-89, "
Exploded View" (HR16DE), EM-207, "Component" (HR18DE)
and EM-302, "

9. Set jack under front suspension member.
10. Remove upper side bolts of upper link.
11. Remove the bolts of member stay, and then remove member stay from vehicle.
12. Gradually lower a jack to remove front suspension assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 For tightening torque, refer to FSU-9, "
Component".
 Perform final tightening of each of parts (rubber bushing), under unladen conditions, which were removed
when removing front suspension assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "
Wheel Alignment
Inspection".
 Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-182, "
Removal and Installation".

strut assembly. Refer to FSU-9, "
Component" .
7. Remove the strut mounting insulator bolts, then remove strut
assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 For tightening torque, refer to FSU-9, "
Component" .
 Perform final tightening of bolts and nuts at the strut assembly lower side (rubber bushing) under unladen
conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection".
 Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-182, "
Removal and Installation" .
 Attach strut mounting insulator as shown.

TRANSVERSE LINK
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001716885
REMOVAL
1. Remove front tires using power tool.
2. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
3. Remove transverse link nuts and bolts, then remove transverse
link from front suspension member.
NOTE:
When removing LH transverse link it may be necessay to lower
the suspension member in order to remove bolts to avoid con-
tact with the transaxle.
a. Set jack under front suspension member.
b. Loosen RH upper link bolts, LH upper link bolt (front suspension
member side), front suspension member bolts (left/right). Lower
the front suspension member in order to remove transverse link
bolts.
4. Remove transverse link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check the following:
 Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
 Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if necessary.
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
 Hook a spring balance at the cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring
balance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
 If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assem-
bly.
Axial End Play Inspection
 Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.
 If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 For tightening torque, refer to FSU-9, "
Component" .
 Perform final tightening of bolts and at the front suspension member installation position (rubber bushing)
under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "
Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" .

10. Gradually lower front suspension member in order to remove
stabilizer bolts.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to lower it too far. (Do not over load the
links.)
11. Remove the bolts of stabilizer clamp, and then remove stabilizer
clamp and stabilizer bushing.
12. Remove stabilizer bar.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check stabilizer bar, stabilizer connecting rod, stabilizer bushing, and stabilizer clamp for deformation, cracks,
and damage. Replace it if necessary.
