Rear

1. NOTE: Rear side lean can be adjusted by installing shims on the low side. A vehicle that is low at the rear can be raised by installing shims at both sides. The following shims are available:

- D7TZ-5742-A - 10 mm (0.39 in)

- 3C4Z-5A300-AA - 13 mm (0.51 in)

- 5C3Z-5A313-AA - 25 mm (0.98 in)

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






2. Using a suitable jack, support the axle.






3. Remove and discard the four nuts and two U-bolts to allow the rear axle to separate from the rear spring.






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






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

- 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.






6. Install two new U-bolts and four new nuts.

7. Remove the support from the axle.

8. Lower the vehicle.
