Installation & Maintenance Guide

Installation Preparation

Lift the rear of the vehicle on jack stands; disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety.
Gather tools: socket wrench set, torque wrench, bushing press (if needed), and new mounting hardware (nuts/bolts).

Step-by-Step Installation

Remove the rear wheel to access the track control rod (connects chassis to wheel knuckle/hub).
Unbolt the rod from the chassis and knuckle using a socket wrench; note bushing orientation for reinstallation.
Clean mounting surfaces on chassis/knuckle to remove rust/debris; inspect bushings for wear (replace if cracked/dry).
Install the new 48710-48080 rod, hand-tighten bolts, then torque to Toyota’s specs (chassis: 45-50 N·m; knuckle: 30-35 N·m) in a cross pattern to avoid uneven pressure.
Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and perform a professional wheel alignment to restore camber/toe angles.

Maintenance Tips

Inspect the rod every 50,000 km for cracks, rust, or loose bolts; replace immediately if damaged.
Replace bushings every 80,000-100,000 km or if noise/vibration occurs during driving.
Avoid overloading the vehicle to prevent excessive stress on the rear suspension and track rod.
