Torque:

without SST:

33 N*m{340 kgf*cm, 25 ft.*lbf}

with SST:

27 N*m{278 kgf*cm, 20 ft.*lbf}

HINT:

1. This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
   
2. This torque value can be obtained by using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.) and a SST with a fulcrum length of 40 mm (1.57 in.).
   
3. If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification (YARIS_NCP93 RM00000482L007X.html).
   

Provisionally tighten a new nut through the front No. 2 suspension support.

Install the front shock absorber with coil spring onto the steering knuckle.

Install the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.

Torque:

164 N*m{1672 kgf*cm, 121 ft.*lbf}

HINT:

Keep the bolt from rotating while installing and tightening the nuts.

Install the front flexible hose and front speed sensor with the bolt.

Torque:

29 N*m{300 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf}

NOTICE:

Install the front flexible hose and front speed sensor without twisting them.

Install the front stabilizer link assembly with the nut.

Torque:

74 N*m{755 kgf*cm, 55 ft.*lbf}

HINT:
