Installation [02/2019 - 12/2021]: Procedure

1. Secure the rear suspension support assembly in a vise using aluminum plates.
   NOTE:

   Do not overtighten the vise.

2. Install the rear suspension support assembly to the rear shock absorber assembly.
3. Apply a few drops of adhesive to the threads of a new rear support to rear shock absorber nut.

   Adhesive

   Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1324, Three Bond 1324 or equivalent

4. Using SST and a 6 mm hexagon socket wrench, hold the rear shock absorber rod and tighten the rear support to rear shock absorber nut.
   • SST: 09729-97202 

   Specified tightening torque 

   Torque: 25 N.m (255 kgf/cm, 18 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Securely insert the 6 mm hexagon socket wrench into the rear shock absorber rod to prevent damage to the rear shock absorber assembly when tightening the rear support to rear shock absorber nut.

   HINT: 

   • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

     Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2018 - ]

   • When using SST (fulcrum length of 40 mm (1.57 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)):

1. Install the rear upper control arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and nut.

   Torque: 73 N.m (744 kgf/cm, 54 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   • Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the rear of the vehicle.
   • Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

1. Connect the rear shock absorber assembly to the vehicle with the 2 bolts.

   Torque: 55 N.m (561 kgf/cm, 41 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Temporarily tighten the bolt (A) and then fully tighten the 2 bolts in the order of (B) and (A).

1. Using a ball joint lock nut wrench, fully tighten the rear shock absorber assembly with the nut.

   Specified tightening torque 

   Torque: 125 N.m (1275 kgf/cm, 92 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Hold the rear axle carrier pin while rotating the nut.

   HINT: 

   • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

     Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2018 - ]

   • When using a ball joint lock nut wrench (fulcrum length of 149.75 mm (5.90 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 400 mm (1.31 ft.)):
