Removal
NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result
in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or equivalent parts, if replacement is 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. Measure the distance from the center of the hub to the lip of the fender with the vehicle in a level, static ground position (curb height).
2. Remove the shock absorber and spring assembly. For additional information, refer to Shock Absorber and Spring Assembly See: Suspension Strut
/ Shock Absorber/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Front Suspension.
3. Remove and discard the upper ball joint nut.
