Removal
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 front coil spring.
2. NOTE: In order to obtain clearance for pivot bolt removal when servicing the RH front axle, it may be necessary to raise the LH side of the
vehicle to relieve the weight on the suspension.
Remove and discard the axle pivot nut and bolt, then lower the pivot end of the axle.
3. Using the special tools, remove the axle pivot bushing.
