(I) Place Receiver, Special Tool 9031-3, cup-

side-down over top of crossmember rear mount
bushing (Fig. 74).

(II) Place Curb Height Gage, Special Tool

9094, into shock absorber pocket in spring link
and opposite end of tool over Receiver, Special
Tool 9031-3 (Fig. 74).

(III) Install bolt through crossmember rear

mount bushing, Receiver, Special Tool 9031-3,
and Curb Height Gage, Special Tool 9094. Install
wing nut, hand tightening tools in place (Fig.
74).

(IV) Move spring link up or down as necessary

aligning lower shock bolt mounting hole with
Curb Height Gage hole, then insert pin through
both (Fig. 74).
(h) Tighten link fasteners at crossmember to fol-

lowing specifications:
• Camber Link bolt – 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.) torque

(Fig. 69).

• Compression Link bolt – 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.)

torque (Fig. 70).

• Spring Link bolt – 129 N·m (95 ft. lbs.) torque

(Fig. 73).

• Tension Link bolt – 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.) torque

(Fig. 69).

• Toe Link nut – 172 N·m (127 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig.

72).

(i) Remove special tools.
(j) Install end of parking brake cable into

(6) Install bolt and nut fastening stabilizer bar to

each stabilizer link (Fig. 75). Do not tighten at this
time.

(7) Tighten cushion retainer mounting bolts to 61

N·m (45 ft. lbs.) torque.

(8) Raise crossmember to body mounting points. As

crossmember is raised, align shocks with pockets in
spring links.

(9) Continue to raise crossmember with jack until

crossmember mounting bolts can be installed. Install
left side crossmember mounting bolts, but not the
right side bolts (Fig. 76). It is not necessary to
tighten bolts at this point.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging other components of
vehicle, do not lower crossmember any further than
necessary to install coil spring.

(10) Slowly lower jack allowing right side of cross-

member to drop. Do not lower jack at a fast rate.
Lower jack just enough to allow spring installation.
Do not lower jack any further than necessary.

(11) Install coil spring and isolator (Fig. 77), top

end first.

NOTE: Verify that spring lower end coil is correctly
placed against abutment built into spring link.

(12) Carefully raise jack, guiding coil spring and

lower end of shock absorber into mounted positions.
Once shock absorber lower mounting hole lines up
with hole in spring link, stop jacking.
