Subframe Assembly - Front - 1st Generation (Remove and Replace)
Correction Code 30010302
Removal
- Remove the front subframe from the vehicle (refer to procedure).
- Remove and retain the stabilizer bar (refer to procedure).
- Remove and retain the steering rack (refer to procedure).
Installation
Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except for the following:
- Use new fasteners to secure the steering rack to the new subframe.
- Secure the stabilizer bar to the new subframe.
-
After installing all suspension components, pull on the inner halfshaft cup to
confirm that the circlip is locked into place.
-
If the halfshaft detaches from the drive unit then reinstall the halfshaft and
then test that it is fully seated. If reinstalling the halfshaft:
- Take care not to damage or displace the oil seals.
- Make sure that the opening of the snap rings are facing towards the bottom of the drive unit.
- Carefully push the halfshaft into the drive unit until there is an audible "click" from the halfshaft stub contacting the pinion shaft.
- There will be a slight pulling sensation on the halfshaft as the halfshaft circlip locks into place.
- Refer to the Alignment Requirement tables to determine whether an EPAS alignment check (EC) or four wheel alignment check (AC) is necessary. If performed, add the alignment check/adjust as a separate activity. See Alignment Requirement - Suspension.
