1. Inspectez le véhicule pour une usure anormale des pneus qui pourrait indiquer qu'un alignement du parallélisme des roues est nécessaire. Prenez en note toutes vos constatations.
2. Open the LH front door and lower the LH front window.
3. Remove the LH rear wheel. See Ensemble de roue (retrait et installation).
4. Remove the LH rear suspension cover. See Couvercle - suspension arrière - gauche (retirez et remplacez).
5. Install a spring compressor onto the LH rear coil spring.
   Remarque

   Tooling may vary per service center. Reference photos for clarification.

   

   

6. Remove the bolt and nut that attach the LH rear lower aft link to the knuckle.
   Conseil : Nous recommandons l’utilisation des outils suivants :

   • Douille de 21 mm
   • 21 mm combination wrench

   

7. Remove the bolt and nut that attach the LH rear damper to the LH rear lower aft link.

8. Install the knuckle ball joint replacement tool onto the knuckle.
   Remarque

   Make sure the cups sit flush to the ball joint and knuckle surface.

   Remarque

   The ball joint will only press out towards rear of vehicle.

   Remarque

   Apply lubricant to threaded rod if dry.

   

   

9. Press the LH rear knuckle lower rear ball joint out of the knuckle.
   Remarque

   The ball joint should press out with minimal resistance. If met with high resistance, inspect the tool cups for misalignment.

   Remarque

   Use the windows in the receiving cup to monitor progress.

   

   

10. Remove the knuckle ball joint replacement tool from the assembly.
    Remarque

    Discard ball joint once removed.

    Remarque

    If the ball joint sticks in the removal cup, gently tap it out with a punch.

    

    

    

    

11. Position a new LH rear knuckle lower rear ball joint at the lead in of the knuckle bore.
    Remarque

    Make sure ball joint is sitting square to machined surface.

    

12. Install the knuckle ball joint replacement tool.
    Remarque

    Make sure the cups sit flush to the ball joint and knuckle surface.

    Remarque

    The ball joint will only press in towards the front of the vehicle.

    Remarque

    Make sure the nut with bearing is not used on the installation cup.

    

    

13. Press the LH rear knuckle lower rear ball joint into the knuckle.
    Remarque

    The ball joint should press in with minimal resistance. If met with high resistance, inspect the tool cups for misalignment.

    Remarque

    Use the notch in the installation cup to monitor progress.

    Remarque

    When nearing the end of the bore, the installation cup may need to be re-aligned to meet machined surface.

    

    

    

14. Remove the knuckle ball joint replacement tool.

    

    

15. Verify that the ball joint is fully installed, and then mark the surface with a paint pen.
    Remarque

    The machined surface should be near flush with the ball joint.

    

16. Install and hand-tighten the bolt and nut that attach the LH rear damper to the LH rear lower aft link.

    

17. Install and hand-tighten the bolt and nut that attach the LH rear lower aft link to the LH rear knuckle.

    

18. Install a hub jack adapter onto the LH rear hub and hand-tighten the lug nuts.

    

19. Move the support stand to support the hub jack adapter.

    

    Remarque

    Use the rear ride height torque gauge to verify that the rear suspension is set to ride height specifications and adjust the support stand or spring compressor tool , if necessary.
20. Measure the distance between the bottom of the LH rear quarter panel to the center of the LH rear axle to make sure that the rear suspension is set to ride height: The distance should measure 378 mm.

    

21. Tighten the bolt that attaches the LH rear lower aft link to the LH rear knuckle. Mark the bolt with a paint pen after the bolt is tightened.
