TRANSVERSE LINK
Removal and Installation INFOID:0000000004305869
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 t en 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-10, " 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-7, " Wheel Align-
ment Inspection " .

STABILIZER BAR
Removal and Installation INFOID:0000000004305870
REMOVAL
1. Separate intermediate shaft from steering gear pinion shaft. Refer to PS-9, " Removal and Installation " .
2. Remove front tires using power tool.
3. Remove the nut on the lower side of stabilizer connec ting rod using power tool, and then remove stabilizer
connecting rod from stabilizer bar.
4. If necessary remove stabilize connecting rod upper nut using power tool. Separate stabilizer connecting rod and strut.
5. Loose 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 the Tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads
and to prevent the ball joint remover (suitable tool) from
suddenly coming off.
7. Remove rear torque rod. Refer to EM-195, " Component " .
8. Set jack under front suspension member.
9. Remove the bolts of member stay, and then remove member stay.
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.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torques, refer to FSU-10, " Component " .

2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the
″ACC ″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of al l control units using CONSULT-III.
General Precaution INFOID:0000000004307347
• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or ot her enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
• To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
• Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.
• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly. SGI231
