Upper Control Arm: Installation

  1. Position the upper control arm on the upper (shock absorber/upper control arm) mounting bracket.
    CAUTION: For clearance reasons, the control arm mounting bolts must be installed from center, so the heads are toward the coil spring once the mounting bracket is installed on the shock absorber. See Figure. Otherwise the bolts may rub the coil spring, damaging it.
  2. Install the two bolts attaching the upper control arm to the bushings in the mounting bracket. See Figure. The bolts must be installed from center, so that the heads are toward the coil spring when it is installed.
  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 95 N.m (70 ft. lbs.).
  4. Reinstall the upper mounting bracket and control arm on the coil spring. Reassemble the front shock assembly. (Refer to SUSPENSION/FRONT/SHOCK - ASSEMBLY) 
  5. Reinstall the front shock assembly on the vehicle. (Refer to SUSPENSION/FRONT/SHOCK - INSTALLATION)
