13. Remove the bolt mounting the engine torque strut to the right forward corner of the front suspension crossmember (3).
NOTE: Before removing the front suspension crossmember from the vehicle, the location of the crossmember must be scribed on the body of
the vehicle. Do this so that the crossmember can be relocated upon reinstallation against the body of vehicle in the same location as
before removal. If the front suspension crossmember is not reinstalled in exactly the same location as before removal, the preset front
wheel alignment settings (caster and camber) will be lost.
14. Using an awl, (2) scribe a line (1) marking the location of the front suspension crossmember (3) where it is mounted against the body of the
vehicle.
15. Position a transmission jack under the center of the front suspension crossmember (3) and raise it to support the bottom of the crossmember.
16. Loosen all six bolts attaching the front suspension crossmember and lower control arms to the body of the vehicle. Do not completely remove the
two 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 tapping plates in the body of the vehicle. Completely
remove the other four bolts.
17. Lower the front suspension crossmember (3).
18. Remove each lower control arm from the crossmember by removing the pivot bolts.
