Rear Lateral Link (Upper) Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may possibly cause an open circuit in the wiring harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before operations, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and move the sensor away from the harnesses.

Remove in the order indicated in the table.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Inspect the rear wheel alignment.
(See REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT .)
