CAUTION: Suspension Fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in
major service expense. A new part with the same part number or an equivalent part must be installed, if installation is necessary. Do not use a part of
lesser quality or substitute design. Torque valves must be used as specified during reassembly to ensure correct retention of these parts.
1. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the RH kick panel. 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.
Raise and support the vehicle.
2. CAUTION: Do not use heat to loosen a seized wheel nut. Heat can damage the wheel and the wheel bearings.
Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
