CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

• Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.
• The following procedure is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL REAR SUSPENSION SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

(1) Secure the rear suspension support assembly in a vise using aluminum plates.

NOTICE:

Do not overtighten the vise.

(2) Install the rear suspension support assembly to the rear shock absorber assembly.

(3) Apply a few drops of adhesive to the threads of a new rear support to rear shock absorber nut.

Adhesive:

Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1324, Three Bond 1324 or equivalent

(4) Using SST and a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, hold the rear shock absorber rod and tighten a newrear support to rear shock absorber nut.

SST: 09729-00170

Torque:

Specified tightening torque :

25 N·m {255 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf}

NOTICE:

Securely insert the 6 mm hexagon socket wrench into the rear shock absorber rod to prevent damage to the rear shock absorber assembly when tightening the rear support to rear shock absorber nut.

HINT:

• Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

• When using SST (fulcrum length of 200 mm (7.874 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)):

  12 N*m (122 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf)

2. INSTALL REAR SHOCK ABSORBER CAP

3. TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY

(1) Temporarily install the rear shock absorber assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the nut and plate washer.

NOTICE:

Hold the rear axle carrier pin while rotating the nut.

4. STABILIZE SUSPENSION

CAUTION: Do not raise the jack up too high. The vehicle could fall, resulting in aserious accident.

*a	Wooden Block	*b	Jack
	Wooden Block Placement Location	-	-

(1) Using a jack and a wooden block, apply load to the suspension so that the rear No. 2 suspension armassembly is positioned as shown in the illustration.

Standard Length A:

30.5 mm (1.201 in.)

NOTICE:

• When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.
• Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

5. INSTALL REAR UPPER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

Torque:

73 N·m {744 kgf·cm, 54 ft·lbf}

6. CONNECT REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY

(1) Connect the rear shock absorber assembly to the vehicle with the 2 bolts.

Torque:

55 N·m {561 kgf·cm, 41 ft·lbf}

NOTICE:

Temporarily tighten bolt A and then fully tighten the 2 bolts in the order of B and A.

7. FULLY TIGHTEN REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY

(1) Using a ball joint lock nut wrench fully tighten the rear shock absorber assembly with the nut.

Torque:

Specified tightening torque :

125 N·m {1275 kgf·cm, 92 ft·lbf}

NOTICE:

Hold the rear axle carrier pin while rotating the nut.

HINT:

• Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
