To perform the service and repair to the Steering Knuckle, start with lifting and supporting the vehicle first, and then remove the tire and wheel. Next, disconnect wheel bearing/hub from the vehicle and remove the outer Tie Rod End retaining nut. Using universal steering linkage puller (J24319-B) pull up the outer tie rod from the Steering Knuckle, the next thing taken off is the lower Ball Joint cotter pin and retaining nut. Use the Ball Joint separator (J43828) to release the lower Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle and remove the front strut to the Steering Knuckle bolts and nuts in taking out the Steering Knuckle from the vehicle. For installation on the Steering Knuckle is fixed together with the lower Ball Joint, make sure the nut is tightened up to, but not more than 60 degrees of total rotation additional for cotter pin alignment without backing up the nut. Install the lower Ball Joint retaining nut- tighten to 10 nm (88 inch lbs) plus additional 180 degrees - 300 degrees (3 - 5 flats) and then install a new cotter pin. Next, attach the outer Tie Rod End to the Steering Knuckle and tighten the outer Tie Rod End nut to 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs.). Mount the Steering Knuckle on the strut to mounting bolts and nuts and tighten the nuts to 185 nm(136 ft. Lbs). Go ahead and install the hub and bearing to the Steering Knuckle/drive axle, and then install the brake rotor. Tighten the drive axle nut, using a drift or screwdriver to stop the rotor from turning with a torque of 160 nm (118 ft. Lbs). Lastly, put the tire and wheel back and align the car.
