Removal
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and their failure can result in
major service expense. They must be replaced with the same part number or an equivalent part if replacement is necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used during reassembly to ensure proper retention of these
parts.
1. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be turned off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during
these operations.
Turn the air suspension service switch off.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Use the special tool 014-0094 or equivalent to support the rear axle.
4. WARNING: Do not remove an air spring under any circumstances when there is air pressure in the air spring. Do not remove any
components supporting an air spring without exhausting the air.
Release the air pressure from the air springs.
5. Remove both stabilizer bar link lower retaining nuts and bushings.
