  Q: How to service the trailing arm on Mercury Mountaineer?

  A: The starting point for servicing a trailing arm consists of removing the toe link. When installing the new bolt into the parking brake cable bracket tighten it to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque specification. Use a new bolt for installation by performing tightness to 300 Nm (222 lb-ft) at vehicle ground elevation. The service of the trailing arm requires the removal of three wheel knuckle bolts and the trailing arm itself while discarding both parts. You should use new bolts to install the trailing arm before tightening them to 275 Nm (203 lb-ft). Recover from the installation by following the reversal of the previous removal steps. The correct performance and safety of the suspension system requires identical or equivalent part numbers for all fasteners which must be installed with correct orientation and proper torque values.
