Installation [12/2012 - ]: Procedure

1. Temporarily install the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly LH to the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and nut.
   NOTE:

   Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut fixed in place.

1. Support the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly with an engine lifter using 4 attachments or equivalent tools.
   NOTE:

   • Make sure to secure the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly to prevent it from dropping.
   • Use the attachments to keep the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly level.
   • The front suspension crossmember sub-assembly is a heavy component. Make sure that it is supported securely.
2. Tighten the 2 bolts on the left and right sides while alternately inserting SST into the left and right side reference holes in the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly.
