  Q: How to remove and reinstall rear suspension arms on a Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon?

  A: Raise the rear of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Block the front wheels. Disconnect the strut rod from the axle carrier. Remove the exhaust center section and tailpipe. Remove the rear stabilizer bar. Remove the trailing arm-to-rear axle carrier bolt and nut. To disconnect the trailing arms from the carrier, hold the bolt with a wrench and remove the nut. To access the bolts at the inner ends of the trailing arms, the rear suspension cross member must be lowered. Position a floor jack under the center of the cross member, then loosen and remove the cross member-to-body bolts. Lower the rear suspension cross member with the jack until the trailing arm bolts are accessible. Remove the bolts. Remove the No. 2 (rear) trailing arm. Remove the No. 1 (front) trailing arm. When reinstalling any rear trailing arms, raise the suspension with a floor jack to simulate normal ride-height before tightening the fasteners. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to tighten all fasteners to the torque. When reinstalling the trailing arms, the factory paint marks on the arms should face the rear of the vehicle. Install the wheel and lug nuts, then lower the vehicle to the ground. Tighten the wheel lug nuts to the torque. Have the rear wheel alignment checked by a dealer service department or an alignment shop.
