Removal and Installation

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital parts and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. Remove the spring.

2. CAUTION: Do not fully tighten the cam adjuster nut until the rear alignment has been checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

Remove and discard the cam adjuster nut, then remove the cam adjuster, cam bolt and the lower arm.
^ To install, tighten to 101 Nm (74 ft. lbs.) with the suspension at the bushing fastener tightening position.

3. CAUTION: Before tightening any suspension bushing fasteners, the suspension must be at the bushing fastener tightening position. Use a suitable jack to raise the suspension until the distance between the center of the hub and the lip of the fender is equal to 395 mm (15.55 inch).





To install, reverse the removal procedure.
