Kia Carnival (2009+). Instruction — part 171

2. Install the rear assist arm (A) ball joint self-locking nut (B) and the cotter pin.

Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb-ft) :
160 ~ 180 (16 ~ 18, 115.7 ~ 130.2)

3. Install the brake caliper mounting bolts (A).

Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb-ft) :
50 ~ 60 (5.0 ~ 6.0, 36.2 ~ 43.4)

4. Install the wheel and the tire (A) to the rear hub (B).

Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb-ft) :
90 ~ 110 (9 ~ 11, 65.1 ~ 79.5)

Be careful not to damage the hub bolts (C) when installing the rear wheel and tire (A).

INSPECTION

1. Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.

2. Check the upper arm for bending or breakage.

3. Check the ball joint for rotating torque.

(1) If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.

(2) Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times in a circular motion.

(3) Mount the self-locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.

Specified torque :
1 ~ 3 Nm (10 ~ 30 kgf.cm, 0.72 ~ 2.17 lb-ft)

Measure a torque by using the special tool(09532-11600) and torque wrench, at the range of 0.5-2 rpm
after moving the ball joint stud 10 times at room temperature.

(4) If the rotating torque exceeds the upper limit of standard value, replace the upper arm assembly.

(5) Even if the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it

has drag and excessive play.
