<< A >> ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET REMOVAL
| CAUTION | When supporting the engine and transaxle assembly by using the garage jack, pay attention not to deform the engine oil pan. |
- Place a garage jack against the engine oil pan with a piece of wood in between, and support the engine and transaxle assembly.
- Operate the garage jack so that the engine and transaxle assembly weight is not applied to the engine mounting insulator, and then remove the engine mounting bracket.
>> A << ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR STOPPER INSTALLATION
Install the engine mounting insulator stopper as shown in the figure.

<< A >> TRANSAXLE MOUNTING BRACKET REMOVAL
- Place a garage jack against the transaxle case with a piece of wood in between, and support the engine and transaxle assembly.
- Operate the garage jack so that the engine and transaxle assembly weight is not applied to the transaxle mounting insulator, and then remove the transaxle mounting bracket.
>> A << TRANSAXLE MOUNTING INSULATOR STOPPER INSTALLATION
Install the transaxle mounting insulator stopper as shown in the figure.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
| CAUTION | The part indicated by the *1 mark should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the engine and transaxle assembly weight applied on the vehicle body. The parts indicated by the *2 are the bolts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque. |
Scheme 258
>> A << FRONT ROLL STOPPER INSTALLATION
Install the front roll stopper so that the hole faces toward the vehicle front.
Scheme 259
| CAUTION | Before removing the steering wheel assembly and driver's air bag module assembly, always refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS and AIR BAG MODULE(S) AND CLOCK SPRING . Also, position the front wheels in a straight ahead direction, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this, clock spring for SRS may get damage, making the SRS (air bag) inoperative, and it may cause a serious injury to the driver. The parts indicated by * are the bolts/nuts with friction coefficient stabilizer. In removal, ensure there is no damage, clean dust and soiling from the bearing and thread surfaces, and tighten them to the specified torque. After installation, perform calibration to make ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of the steering wheel sensor. (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION ). |

Required Special Tool
- MB991897 or MB992011: Ball Joint Remover
<< B >> SELF-LOCK NUT (TIE-ROD END AND KNUCKLE CONNECTION) REMOVAL
| CAUTION | Do not remove the self-lock nut from the ball joint, but only loosen it, and use the special tool. To prevent the special tool from dropping off, suspend it with a cord. |
Scheme 261
Scheme 262
- Install special tool MB991897 or MB992011 as shown in the figure.
- Turn the bolt and knob to make the special tool jaws parallel, then hand-tighten the bolt. After tightening, check that the jaws are still parallel. NOTE: To adjust the special tool jaws to be parallel, set the knob as shown in the figure so that it functions as a fulcrum of the jaws.
- Turn the bolt and disconnect the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle.
Scheme 263
- Jack up and support the font axle crossmember, remove the front axle crossmember mounting bolt.
- Check the hoses and harnesses for roughness, and then remove the front axle crossmember assembly with the rear roll stopper and the steering gear and linkage installed.
>> A << JOINT COVER GROMMET INSTALLATION
Install the joint cover grommet by aligning the projection of the steering gear and linkage assembly with the mating mark of the joint cover grommet as shown in the figure.
Scheme 264
>> B << STABILIZER BAR/STABILIZER BUSHING/STABILIZER BAR BRACKET INSTALLATION
Install the stabilizer bar, the stabilizer bushing and the stabilizer bar bracket as shown in the figure.
Scheme 265
Scheme 266
- Pinch the claw of the clip shown in the figure. While sliding shaft A from shaft B, connect the steering column shaft assembly with the steering gear and linkage assembly.
- Insert the steering column bolt into the no-tapped bolt hole, and tighten it to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 20 ± 5 N.m (15 ± 3 ft-lb)
