Removal and Installation
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 part, 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. To aid in installation, mark the rear shock absorber relative to the protective sleeve with the vehicle in a static, level ground position (curb height).
2. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
3. NOTICE: Do not support the rear axle at the differential housing or damage to the housing may occur.
Using 2 suitable jackstands, support the rear axle.
4. Raise the rear axle so the mark made on the rear shock absorber in Step 1 lines up with the protective sleeve.
