(24) Install the 3 mounting bolts (Fig. 72) and
tighten evenly to ensure bearing is square to face of
steering knuckle. The tighten the 3 mounting bolts
(Fig. 72) to a torque of 110 N·m (80 ft. lbs.).
INSTALL
(1) Slide drive shaft back into front hub/bearing
assembly.
(2) Install the steering knuckle on the lower con-
trol arm ball joint.
(3) Install the steering knuckle to lower ball joint
castle nut.
(4) Install
upper
ball
joint
stud
in
steering
knuckle.
(5) Install the steering knuckle to upper ball joint
stud castle nut.
(6)
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.).
(7) If equipped with antilock brakes install the
speed sensor cable routing bracket on the steering
knuckle (Fig. 66) and securely tighten attaching bolt.
CAUTION:
When installing tie rod on steering
knuckle the heat shield (Fig. 73) must be installed.
If heat shield is not installed, tie rod seal boot can
fail due to excessive heat from brake rotor.
(8) 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. 64). Then using
a crowfoot and 11/32 socket tighten the attaching nut
to a torque of 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 73).
(9) Install rotor on hub and bearing.
(10) 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. 74).
(11) Install disc brake caliper assembly to steering
knuckle guide pin bolts (Fig. 60). Tighten caliper
assembly guide pin bolts to a torque of 31 N·m (23 ft.
lbs.).
(12) Clean all foreign matter from the threads of
the outer C/V joint stub axle. Install the washer and
hub nut (Fig. 75) onto the stub axle and tighten nut.
(13) With vehicle brakes applied to keep stub axle
from turning, tighten hub nut to a torque of 203 N·m
(150 ft. lbs.) of torque (Fig. 76).
(14) Install the spring washer, hub nut lock, and a
new cotter pin. Wrap cotter pin prongs tightly
around the hub nut lock (Fig. 77).
(15) Install front wheel and tire assembly. Install
front wheel lug nuts and tighten in correct sequence.
Then tighten to a torque of 129 N·m (95 ft.lbs.).
(16) Lower vehicle.
