• For axle side bushings (1), install them so that center line and slit lines of them are parallel as shown the figure.
2. Slit 4. Slit line of bushings
3. Center line of bushings      
• Install bushings so that either face of bushing are aligned with housing edge of leading arm, also the length between the aligned side end of bushing and trailing arm (1) are within specification below.
Specification for trailing arm bushing protrusion
“a”: 8.5 – 10.5 mm (0.33 – 0.41 in.)
“b”: 6.0 – 9.0 mm (0.24 – 0.35 in.)
2) Install trailing arm (1) to vehicle body and rear axle housing, referring to the figure for proper installing direction of bolts.
CAUTION:
Either bolt & nut (3) or (4) is used for rear axle housing side of trailing arm. Either bolt & nut (2) or (4) is used for trailing arm body side.
Trailing arm nut (for 10.9 strength bolt) is pre-coated with friction stabilizer and provided with marks indicating the strength class. Never reuse this nut to prevent it from loosening. Be sure to replace nut with a new one once it was loosen.
3) Remove floor jack from rear axle housing.
4) Connect wheel speed sensor lead wire clamps to trailing arm (if equipped with ABS).
5) Connect parking brake cable clamp to trailing arm.
6) Lower hoist and with vehicle in non-loaded condition, tighten trailing arm nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Trailing arm nut (for 8.8 & 7T strength bolt) ( a ): 90 N·m ( 9.0 kg-m, 65.0 lb-ft)
Trailing arm nut (for 10.9 strength bolt) ( b ): 55 N·m ( 5.5 kg-m, 40.0 lb-ft)
2. 7T strength bolt and nut without friction stabilizer
3. 8.8 strength bolt and nut without friction stabilizer
4. 10.9 strength bolt and nut with friction stabilizer
5. Strength mark
