Vision V6-3.5L VIN F (1997)
Cross-Member: Service and Repair
GENERAL INFORMATION
This vehicle is available with two different rear crossmembers depending on the suspension package the vehicle was built with. The crossmembers
visually look the same between the standard and performance suspension packages, but the mounting location for the lateral links is different. The
performance suspension crossmember is identified by a identification hole in the crossmember. The performance crossmember identification hole
is located on left side of crossmember on the rear vertical wall. If the rear suspension crossmember is replaced, be sure the correct crossmember is
installed or the handling of the vehicle will be adversely affected.
REMOVE
1. Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a frame contact type hoist.
2. Remove both rear wheel and tire assemblies from the vehicle.
3. Position a transmission jack under the fuel tank just forward of the crossmember to help support fuel tank when crossmember is removed.
4. Remove the nut and bolt on each side of vehicle attaching the lateral links to the spindle.
