CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in
mayor 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 values must be used as specified during reassembly to ensure proper retention of these parts.

2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
3. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
