21. Using an appropriate marker (2), draw a line (1) as necessary marking the location of the front suspension crossmember (3) where mounted against
the body of the vehicle.
22. Position a transmission jack under the center of the front suspension crossmember and raise it to support the bottom of the crossmember.
23. Loosen all six bolts attaching the front suspension crossmember to the frame rails of the vehicle. Do not completely remove the two mounting
bolts going through the lower control arm rear isolator bushings. They are designed to disengage from the body threads yet stay within the lower
control arm rear isolator bushing. Back the two bolts out just enough to disengage the threaded tapping plates in the body of the vehicle.
Completely remove the other four bolts.
CAUTION: Lower the steering gear slowly, paying special attention to the power steering fluid hoses. Do not strain or overextend the hoses
because damage to the hoses or connecting hardware may occur.
24. Lower the front suspension crossmember (3) using the transmission jack (4) just enough to allow access to the steering column lower coupling (1).
When lowering front suspension crossmember, do not let crossmember hang from lower control arms. The weight should be supported by the
transmission jack.
