Installation [02/2017 - 10/2017]: 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 a new 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 [02/2017 - 05/2018]

   • 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 shock absorber cap to the rear shock absorber assembly.

1. Temporarily install the rear shock absorber assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the nut.
   NOTE:

   Hold the rear axle carrier pin while rotating the nut.

1. Using a jack and a wooden block, apply load to the suspension so that the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly is positioned as shown in the illustration.

   NOTE:

   • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.
   • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

1. Temporarily install the rear upper control arm assembly to the rear axle carrier sub-assembly with the bolt and nut.
   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 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 [02/2017 - 05/2018]

   • When using a ball joint lock nut wrench (fulcrum length of 150.25 mm (5.92 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 400 mm (1.31 ft.)):

     91 N*m (928 kgf*cm, 67 ft.*lbf)

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

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

   NOTE:

   Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.
