Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
1. When a wheel is installed, tighten it to
88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}.
Suspension Links Removal/Installation
1. Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after the vehicle has been lowered and
unloaded.
Note
• Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified levels. Spare tire, jack and tools

immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
(See GI–16 TORQUE FORMULAS.)

inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Power Steering Components Removal/Installation

1. Inspect the tire inflation, and adjust to the recommended pressure as necessary.
2. Inspect the front wheel bearing play and correct it if necessary. (See M–4 Wheel Bearing Play Inspection.)
3. Inspect the wheel and tire runouts. (See TD–8 SUSPENSION.)
4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for excessive looseness.
5. Shake the vehicle to inspect the operation of the shock absorbers.
