Rear Lean Correction

1. Raise and support the vehicle frame until the weight is off the rear springs but with the tires still touching the floor.

NOTE: Rear side lean can be adjusted approximately 10 mm (3/8 in.) by installing shim D7TZ-5742-A on the low side. A vehicle that is low at the rear can be raised by installing shims at both sides.





2. Loosen the four rear spring U-bolt nuts to allow the rear axle to separate from the rear spring.





3. Turn the shim so the recess is facing upward.





4. Insert the shim between the rear spring and the spring seat.





5. Complete the shim installation.
(1) Position the shim so the tie bolt through the spring leaves is in the shim recess, the stud on the bottom of the shim is in the spring seat recess, and the shim is aligned with the rear spring.
(2) Tighten the four U-bolt nuts.

6. Lower the vehicle.
