Important: Place safety stands under the lower control arms during the removal and the installation in order to retain the lower control arm position.





2. Remove the tire and the wheel from the vehicle.
3. Remove the upper control arm from the frame bracket.
4. Remove any wax coatings in the knockout area in order to make the stamped outline visible for removing.

Do not distort the frame bracket when removing the knockout.
6. Repeat the same procedure for the other upper control arm frame bracket knockout.
