Mount Bracket, Driver Side

To replace the lower Control Arm Bracket, first, lift and secure the vehicle, then take the tire and wheel off. Then remove the stabilizer shaft link lower retaining nut, and separate stabilizer shaft link and washer from the lower Control Arm. Unscrew the lower Control Arm to lower Control Arm Bracket mounting nuts and bolts while placing in writing in which direction the bolts are being removed for reassembly. Pivot the lower Control Arm outward and downward to have access to the lower Control Arm Bracket while ensuring the Axle Shaft remains hooked up to the transmission balances. Take out the lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts from the frame and remove the lower Control Arm Bracket. For installation, install lower Control Arm Bracket to the vehicle and secure to frame using mounting bolts, rotational front lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts to 265 nm (195 ft. Lbs.) and rotational rear lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts to 240 nm (177 ft. Lbs.). Next, mount the lower Control Arm to the lower Control Arm Bracket followed by mounting bolts and nuts, tighten the nuts to 110 nm (81 ft. Lbs.) while aligning the lower Control Arm to the bracket to align the bushings. Next, install the stabilizer shaft link and washer to the lower Control Arm by using a washer made from hardened steel with felt inner liner, and install the stabilizer shaft link retaining nut to 145 nm (107 ft. Lbs.). Lastly, replace the tire and wheel, turn the vehicle-lowering the overnight, and check the front-wagon alignment.

To replace the lower Control Arm Bracket do the following; first remove the tire and wheel, raise the vehicle and support it. Next, unscrew the stabilizer shaft link lower retaining nut and remove the stabilizer shaft link and the washer from the lower Control Arm. Take off the lower Control Arm to lower Control Arm Bracket mounting nuts, marking the direction of the bolts for an easy re-installation later followed by the removal of the lower Control Arm to lower control loop arm bracket mounting bolts. Pivot the lower Control Arm outward and downward to expose the lower Control Arm Bracket, then remove the lower Control Arm Bracket attaching bolt from the frame and remove the lower Control Arm Bracket from the vehicle. For installation, bolt on the lower Control Arm Bracket onto vehicle while you are guided by the fastener notice. Tighten the lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts to the frame to 260 nm (192 ft. Lbs. For the front lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolt) and 240 (177 ft. Lbs. For rear lower Control Arm Bracket mounting bolts). Then, install the lower Control Arm to the lower Control Arm Bracket while making sure that it is parallel while installing and tightening the lower Control Arm mounting bolts and nuts that keep the lower Control Arm bushings properly aligned. Attach the lower Control Arm to lower Control Arm Bracket mounting nuts by tightening them to the specification of 110 nm (81 ft. L BS). A washer should be replaced between the stabilizer shaft link and the lower Control Arm with the washer of the same type, since standard washers should not be used. Then, install the stabilizer shaft link and washer to the lower Control Arm, then install the stabilizer shaft link retaining nut that must tighten to 145 nm (107 ft. Lbs.). Lastly, reinstall the tire and wheel, bring the vehicle down and check the alignment of the front wheel.

Start by raising the vehicle to a comfortable working height then provide support. Separate the tire from the wheel before you disconnect the stabilizer shaft link from the lower Control Arm but keep the lower Control Arm joined to the knuckle assembly. Before continuing replace the lower Control Arm from its bracket to record where the spacer sits on the front bushing before extracting the lower Control Arm bracket from the vehicle's frame. Before mounting the lower Control Arm bracket to the vehicle you must properly position the spacer on the front bushing. Mount the lower Control Arm bracket bolts onto the frame and torque the front lower Control Arm bracket bolt to 260 nm (192 lb ft) but the rear lower Control Arm bracket bolts to 230 nm (170 lb ft). First secure the lower Control Arm to its bracket followed by reconnecting the stabilizer shaft link to this arm. After setting the tire and wheel in position lower the vehicle down and perform a wheel alignment check.

To replace the lower Control Arm bracket, first lift and support the vehicle, and then remove the tire and wheel. Next, remove the stabilizer shaft link lower retaining nut and disconnect stabilizer shaft link and its washer from the lower Control Arm. Remove the lower Control Arm to lower Control Arm bracket mounting nuts and bolts, paying attention to the direction of the bolts for reinstallation purposes. Pivot out and down the lower Control Arm for access to the lower Control Arm bracket, while being careful not to disengage the Axle Shaft from the transmission. Unscrew the lower Control Arm bracket mounting bolts from the frame and not adverting to the position of spacer on front bushing, then remove lower Control Arm bracket from the vehicle. To install, position the lowers Control Arm bracket in its correct position, the spacer should be in place on the front bush, install the lowers Control Arm bracket mounting bolts to the frame, tighten front bolt to 265 nm (195 ft. Lbs.), and the rear bolts to 240 nm (177 ft. Lbs.). Then, connect the lower Control Arm to the lower Control Arm bracket located there, then the mounting bolts and nuts and tighten the nuts to 130 nm (96 ft. Lbs.) making sure that the lower Control Arm is parallel to the bracket so as to align the bushings in its place. Replace the stabilizer shaft link and washer to the lower Control Arm using only an identical hardened steel washer with felt inner liner before getting the stabilizer shaft link retaining nut to 155 nm (114 ft. Lbs.). Lastly, replace the tire and the wheel, lower the vehicle, and check on the alignment of the front wheel.

Install the lower control arm to lower control arm bracket mounting nuts and tighten them to 110 Nm (81 ft. lbs.).
