• Check each mating surface for water and foreign matter. If there is any water or foreign matter,
clean the mating surface.
17. Install the transverse link to the steering knuckle with the nut and bolt. Refer to FSU-10, "

20. Install the wheel sensor, the wheel sensor bolt, and the wheel sensor harness. Refer to BRC-140,
"FRONT WHEEL SENSOR : Removal and Installation".
21. Align the matching marks on the disc brake roto r and on the wheel hub. Install the disc brake rotor.
CAUTION:
Do not drop the disc brake rotor.
22. Remove the wire from the brake caliper. Install the brake caliper and the brake caliper torque member
bolts. Refer to BR-37, "
