See Testing and Adjusting, "Suspension Cylinder (Front) - Purge and Charge" for the charging procedure. (1) Torque for the two nuts ... 945 35 N m (697 26 lb ft) (2) Torque for the 12 nuts ... 945 35 N m (697 26 lb ft) (3) 7D-2878 Shim ... 4.47 0.08 mm (0.176 0.003 inch)Note: See the steering system Testing and Adjusting, "Front Axle - Install and Adjust" in order to determine the thickness that should be installed.
Personal injury or death can result when working with the strut rod.Sudden release of the spindle from the strut rod or the snapping of a bolt when removing the plate can result in injury.Loosen all bolts one-half turn, working around the plate in a circular pattern. Perform this again and again until the torque is released for the bolts.
(4) Final torque for ten bolts ... 1085 35 N m (800 26 lb ft)Note: Perform the steering system Testing and Adjusting, "Front Axle - Install and Adjust" before you install these bolts.
