hammer.
INSTALLATION
(1) Thoroughly clean all hub and bearing assembly
mounting surfaces on steering knuckle.
(2) Install
the
replacement
hub
and
bearing
assembly in steering knuckle aligning bolt boles in
bearing flange with holes in steering knuckle.
(3) Install the 3 mounting bolts (Fig. 39) and
tighten evenly to ensure bearing is square to face of

ball
joint
stud
in
steering
knuckle.
(8) Install the steering knuckle to upper ball joint
stud castle nut.
(9) Using a crow foot and torque wrench, tighten
the upper and lower ball joint castle nuts to the fol-
lowing torque specifications.
• Lower ball joint castle nut 74 N·m (55 ft. lbs.).
• Upper ball joint castle nut 62 N·m (45 ft. lbs.).
(10) If equipped with antilock brakes install the
speed sensor cable routing bracket on the steering
knuckle (Fig. 33) and securely tighten attaching bolt.
CAUTION: When
installing
tie
rod
on
steering
knuckle the heat shield (Fig. 40) must be installed.
If heat shield is not installed, tie rod seal boot can
fail due to excessive heat from brake rotor.
(11) Install tie rod end into the steering knuckle.
Start tie rod end to steering knuckle attaching nut
onto stud of tie rod end. While holding the stud of
the tie rod end stationary, tighten tie rod end to
steering knuckle attaching nut (Fig. 31). Then using
a crowfoot and 11/32 socket tighten the attaching nut
to a torque of 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 40).
(12) Install rotor on hub and bearing.
(13) Install disc brake caliper assembly on steering
knuckle. Caliper is installed by first sliding top of
caliper under top abutment on steering knuckle.
Then installing bottom of caliper against bottom
abutment of steering knuckle (Fig. 41).
(14) Install disc brake caliper assembly to steering
knuckle guide pin bolts (Fig. 27). Tighten caliper

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
(15) Clean all foreign matter from the threads of
the outer C/V joint stub axle. Install hub nut onto
the driveshaft stub axle.
(16) With vehicle brakes applied to keep stub axle
from turning, tighten hub nut to a torque of 142 N·m
(105 ft. lbs.) of torque.
(17) Install front wheel and tire assembly. Install
front wheel lug nuts and tighten in correct sequence.
Tighten nuts to a torque of 135 N·m (100 ft.lbs.).
(18) Lower vehicle.
(19) Set front toe on vehicle to required specifica-
tion. Use procedure listed under WHEEL ALIGN-
MENT, in the SUSPENSION group of this service
manual.
UPPER CONTROL ARM (FRONT)
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the front shock assembly from the
vehicle. Refer to SHOCK ASSEMBLY (FRONT) in
this section for the required procedure.
(2) Disassemble the shock assembly until the
upper (shock absorber/upper control arm) mounting
bracket is removed from the coil spring. Refer to
SHOCK ASSEMBLY (FRONT) in the DISASSEM-
BLY AND ASSEMBLY section of this group for the
required procedure.
(3) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the upper control
arm to the bushings in the upper mounting bracket
(Fig. 42).
(4) Remove the upper control arm from the mount-
ing bracket.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the upper control arm on the upper
(shock
absorber/upper
control
arm)
mounting
bracket.
(2) Install the 2 bolts attaching the upper control
arm to the bushings in the mounting bracket (Fig.
42). The bolts must be installed from center, so the
heads are toward the coil spring when it is installed.
The bolts MUST be installed so the head of the
bolt will be toward the coil spring when the

installed
on
shock
absorber (Fig. 42).
CAUTION: For clearance reasons the control arm
mounting bolts must be installed from center, so
the heads are toward the coil spring when it is
installed. Otherwise the bolts may rub the coil
spring, damaging it.
(3) Install the control arm mounting bolt nuts.
Position the control arm at a 90 degree angle to the
mounting bracket and tighten the bolts to a torque of
90 N·m (66 ft. lbs.).
(4) Reinstall the upper mounting bracket and con-
trol arm on the coil spring. Reassemble the front
shock
assembly.
Refer
to
SHOCK
ASSEMBLY
(FRONT) in the DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
section of this group for the required procedure.
(5) Reinstall the front shock assembly on the vehi-
cle. Refer to SHOCK ASSEMBLY (FRONT) in this
section for the required installation procedure.
LOWER CONTROL ARM
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle on jack stands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this manual, for
the required lifting procedure to be used for this
vehicle.
(2) Remove the tire and wheel from the vehicle.
NOTE: Removing the tie rod end from the steering
knuckle allows the steering knuckle to be turned
further. This allows better access to the steering
knuckle when striking it to remove the ball joint
stud from the steering knuckle.
(3) Remove nut attaching the outer tie rod end to
the steering knuckle (Fig. 43). Nut is to be
removed from tie rod end using the following
procedure, hold tie rod end stud with a 11/32
socket while loosening and removing nut with
wrench (Fig. 43).
(4) Remove the tie rod end from the steering
knuckle using Remover, Special Tool MB-991113 (Fig.
44).
(5) Remove cotter pin and castle nut (Fig. 45) from
stud of lower ball joint.
CAUTION: No tool is to be inserted between the
steering knuckle and the lower ball joint to separate
the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle. The
steering knuckle is to be separated from the ball
joint only using the procedure as described in step
Step 6 below.
CAUTION: When striking the steering knuckle, do
not hit the heat shield covering the ball joint grease
seal. Bending the heat shield against the ball joint
grease seal will cause the grease seal to fail.
(6) Turn steering knuckle so the front of the steer-
ing knuckle is facing as far outboard in the wheel
opening as possible (Fig. 46). Using a hammer, strike
steering knuckle boss (Fig. 46) until steering knuckle
separates from the lower ball joint. When striking

CAUTION: Pulling the steering knuckle outward
from the vehicle after releasing it from the ball joint,
can separate inner C/V joint. See Driveshafts.
(7) Remove the shock absorber clevis to lower con-
trol arm bushing, nut and thru-bolt. Separate the cle-
vis from lower control arm (Fig. 47).
(8) Remove nut attaching the stabilizer bar link to
the lower control arm (Fig. 48). When removing nut,
hold stud of stabilizer bar link from turning by
inserting an allen wrench in the end of the stud (Fig.
48).
