ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION
WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES
中国教育考试网报名NOTE: See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in
WHEEL ALIGNMENT ction.
WHEEL BEARING & HUB
1) Rai and support vehicle. Remove front wheel. Remove brake caliper, leaving ho attached, and cure it out of work area. Mark brake rotor and hub for reasmbly reference.
2) Remove brake rotor. Mount dial indicator on dust shield with indicator stem near center of hub. Move hub inward and outward while obrving dial indicator. Replace wheel bearing if axial play exceeds 0.002" (0.05 mm).
3) Reposition dial indicator with indicator stem on outer edge of hub, near outer edge of wheel stud. Rotate hub through a full revolution while obrving dial indicator. If axial runout exceeds 0. 002" (0.05 mm), replace hub.
4) Reinstall components. Align reference marks on brake rotor and hub. Tighten bolts and wheel lug nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
王力宏牛津大学开讲BALL JOINT CHECKING
1) Inspect ball joint for vertical play. Rai and support vehicle. Set front wheels to straight-ahead position. Press brake pedal.
2) Using floor jack, rai lower control arm until there is about 1/2 load on the coil spring. Pry front wheel up and down.
Inspect for vertical movement in ball joint. Replace control arm and ball joint as an asmbly if vertical movement exceeds 0.012" (0.30 mm).
3) To measure ball joint rotating torque, parate ball joint from knuckle. Move ball joint stud back and forth 5 times. Install nut onto ball joint stud.
4) Using INCH-lb. torque wrench, rotate ball joint stud continuously one revolution per 2-4 conds and note rotating torque. Replace ball joint and control arm as an asmbly if rotating torque
is not 9-30 INCH lbs. (1.0-3.4 N.m).
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
HUB & KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY
Removal
1) Rai and support vehicle. Remove front wheel. Remove brake caliper, leaving ho attached, and cure it out of work area. Mark brake rotor and hub for reasmbly reference. Remove brake rotor.
2) Remove bolt and Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) speed nsor from knuckle. See Fig. 2. Remove cotter pin and nut from tie rod. Separate tie rod from knuckle.
3) Remove ball joint nuts. Using Puller (SST 09268-62011), parate ball joints from knuckle. Remove hub and knuckle as an asmbly.
Installation
To install, rever removal procedure. Align reference marks on brake rotor and hub. Tighten bolts/nuts and wheel lug nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Check wheel alignment. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT.

LOWER CONTROL ARM & BALL JOINT
Removal
1) Rai and support vehicle. Remove front wheel. Remove
lower engine cover. Remove brake caliper, leaving ho attached, and cure it out of work area.
2) Disconnect stabilizer bar link from lower control arm. See Fig. 2. Remove clip and nut from lower ball joint. Using Puller (SST 09268-62011), parate lower ball joint from knuckle.
3) Disconnect strut asmbly from bracket on lower control arm bolt. Remove bolts/nuts and lower control arm bracket support.
4) Mark adjuster cams and subframe for reasmbly reference. Adjuster cams are located on each end of lower control arm.
5) Remove adjuster cam nuts and adjuster cams from each end
of lower control arm. Remove lower control arm. Measure ball joint rotating torque. See BALL JOINT CHECKING under ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION.
Installation
1) Install lower control arm, adjuster cams, and adjuster cam nuts. Align reference marks on adjuster cams and subframe. Leave adjuster cam nuts loo at this time.
2) Install and tighten lower ball joint nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Install strut asmbly onto strut asmbly bracket. Install and tighten bolt to specification.
3) Install stabilizer bar link, brake caliper, and front wheel. Install and tighten bolts/nuts and wheel lug nuts to specification.
4) Lower vehicle. Bounce vehicle veral times to ttle suspension. Position floor jack under lower control arm. Rai
vehicle. Remove front wheel.
5) Align reference marks on adjuster cams and subframe while vehicle weight is on lower control arm. Tighten adjuster cam nuts to specification.
6) Install lower control arm bracket support. Tighten

bolts/nuts to specification. Install front wheel and lower engine cover. Check wheel alignment. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT.
LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS
Lower control arm bushing replacement information is not available from manufacturer.
STABILIZER BAR
Removal
1) Rai and support vehicle. Remove front wheels. Remove lower engine cover and splash shields. Remove stabilizer bar links, located between stabilizer bar and each lower control arm. See Fig. 2.
2) Remove bolts/nuts, stabilizer bar brackets, and stabilizer bar. Remove brackets and insulators from stabilizer bar if necessary. Inspection
1) Move ball joint stud on stabilizer bar link back and forth 5 times. Install nut onto ball joint stud on stabilizer link.
2) Using INCH-lb. torque wrench, rotate ball joint stud continuously one revolution per 2-4 conds while measuring rotating torque. Replace stabilizer bar link if rotating torque is not 2.6-8.7 INCH lbs. (0.3-1.0 N.m).
Installation
To install, rever removal procedure. Install insulators
onto stabilizer bar at painted areas on stabilizer bar (if removed). Tighten bolt/nuts and wheel lug nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

STRUT ASSEMBLY
Removal
1) Rai and support vehicle. Remove front wheel. Remove brake caliper, leaving ho attached, and cure aside. Remove Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) speed nsor from knuckle. See Fig. 2.
2) Dingage clamp for ABS speed nsor wiring from upper control arm. Remove plug from top of strut asmbly. See Fig. 3. If disasmbling strut, loon, but DO NOT remove, shaft nut.
3) Remove splash shield. If removing driver’s side strut, remove windshield washer fluid rervoir. On all strut asmbly applications, remove upper control arm-to-subframe bolt. See Fig. 1.
4) Separate upper control arm from subframe. U wire to support upper control arm and knuckle. Disconnect stabilizer bar link from lower control arm. Stabilizer bar link is located between
stabilizer bar and lower control arm.
5) Disconnect strut from bracket on lower control arm. See Fig. 2. Remove strut-to-body nuts and reinforcement from strut tower. See Fig. 3. Remove strut.
Disasmbly & Inspection
okay什么意思1) Install bolt into lower bolt area of strut. Mount strut asmbly in a vi by curing the bolt in the vi. Using Coil Spring Compressor (SST 09727-30020), compress coil spring.
2) Remove shaft nut and strut components. See Fig. 3. Check strut operation by pushing inward and pulling outward on the strut shaft. Shaft should move smoothly, with no abnormal resistance or noi.
7月英文缩写3) If discarding strut, relea internal pressure. Fully extend shaft. Drill hole in strut housing 1.2" (30 mm) from bottom of housing, just above lower retaining bolt bushing.
CAUTION: U care when drilling hole, as strut is filled with gas
under pressure.
