Lower Arm Replacement

Lower Arm Replacement

1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the rear wheel.
3. Remove the lower arm mounting nut (A) and mounting bolt (B) from the knuckle side.

NOTE: During installation, install a new lower arm mounting bolt and a new nut.





4. Remove the flange bolt (C), then remove the lower arm (D).
5. Install the lower arm in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

^ First install all the components, and lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight before fully tightening to the specified torque values.
^ Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces on the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel.
^ Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
