GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Inertia principal axes system is incorporated into the engine mount system.
- Longitudinal Installation type of cylindrical liquid-filled engine front mounting bracket is used for reduction of the idle vibration improvement of ride feeling.
- For transaxle mounting body side bracket, liquid-filled mount is used to improve ride feeling by optimizing insulator.
- Upper installation of roll stopper bracket reduces engine rolling, and increase of insulator bore also reduce idle vibration.

Scheme 325
<< B >> SELF LOCKING NUTS (TIE ROAD END AND KNUCKLE CONNECTION) REMOVAL
| CAUTION | Do not remove the nut from ball joint. Loosen it and use special tool MB991897 to avoid possible damage to ball joint threads. Hang special tool MB991897 with a cord to prevent it from falling. |
Scheme 326
Scheme 327
- Install special tool MB991897 as shown in the figure.
- Turn the bolt and knob as necessary to make the jaws of special tool MB991897 parallel, tighten the bolt by hand and confirm that the jaws are still parallel. NOTE: When adjusting the jaws in parallel, make sure the knob is in the position shown in the figure.
- Tighten the bolt with a wrench to disconnect the tie rod end.
<< C >> STABILIZER BAR, POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE AND FRONT AXLE NO.1 CROSSEMBER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Support the front axle number 1 crossmember with a transmission jack, and then remove the crossmember mounting nuts and bolts.
Scheme 328
>> A << STABILIZER BAR INSTALLATION
Align the identification color on the left side of the stabilizer bar with the right end of the bushing.
Scheme 329
>> B << SELF-LOCKING NUTS INSTALLATION
Tighten the self-locking bolt until its protruding length meets the standard value.
Standard value (A): 22 +/- 1.5 mm (0.87 +/- .05 inch)
