Actuator - Front - ACE

Service Repair No - 60.60.40

CAUTION: The ACE hydraulic system is extremely sensitive to the ingress of dirt or debris. The smallest amount could render the system unserviceable. It is imperative that the following precautions are taken:
^ ACE components are thoroughly cleaned externally before work commences.
^ All opened pipe and module ports are capped immediately.
^ All fluid is stored in and administered through clean containers.

Remove

1. Raise vehicle on a ramp.
2. Remove RH front road wheel.
3. Position container to collect fluid spillage.





4. Remove cap nuts securing fluid pipes to actuator. Disconnect pipes and discard sealing washers.





CAUTION: Always fit plugs to open connections to prevent contamination.

5. Remove 2 nuts securing anti-roll bar links to axle. Release links from axle.





6. With assistance, remove 2 bolts and remove both clamp plates from torsion bar.
7. Remove mounting rubbers from torsion bar.
8. Remove torsion bar and actuator assembly.

CAUTION: While removed from the vehicle, ensure torsion bar is stored without any load on the anti-roll bar links, or the ball joints and/or link rods could be damaged.





9. Use LRT-60-009 to remove nut securing actuator to long arm.
10. Remove nut end bolt securing actuator to short arm and remove actuator.

CAUTION: The short arm and torsion bar are supplied as an assembly and must not be separated.

Refit

1. Fit actuator to torsion bar. Use LRT-60-009 to tighten actuator to long arm nut to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Tighten actuator to short arm nut and bolt to 180 Nm (133 ft. lbs.).
2. Ensure torsion bar mounting rubber mating faces are clean and free from damage.
3. Fit mounting rubbers to torsion bar.
4. With assistance, position torsion bar and actuator assembly to vehicle. Fit clamp plates and tighten bolts to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.).
5. Ensure washer is in place on lower ball joint of each anti-roll bar link, then connect lower ball joint to axle and tighten nuts to 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.).
6. Connect pipes to actuator with cap nuts and new sealing washers. Tighten cap nuts to 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Ensure pipes are not under tension or kinked.
7. Renew ACE high pressure filter.
8. Bleed ACE hydraulic system.
9. Fit RH front road wheel and tighten nuts to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.).
10. Lower vehicle.
