gradually lower the crossmember with steering
gearbox as a unit.
CAUTION:
When removing the crossmember downward,
be careful that the tie-rod end does not interfere
with drive shaft boot.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
•Use a new bolt and self-locking nut. For parts
which are not reusable, refer to “COMPONENT”.

•Always tighten the stabilizer bushing in the state
where the vehicle is at curb weight and the wheels
are in full contact with the ground.

from the knuckle arm.
7) Remove the front crossmember support plate,
jack-up plate and front stabilizer. REMOVAL, Front Stabilizer.>
8) Remove the one pipe joint at the center of the
gearbox, and connect the vinyl hose to the pipe and
the joint. Discharge the fluid by turning the steering
wheel fully clockwise and counterclockwise. Dis-
charge the fluid similarly from other pipes.
9) Remove the universal joint. MOVAL, Universal Joint.>
