18. Remove the two stabilizer bushing retainers.
NOTE: Before removing the front suspension crossmember from the vehicle, the location of the crossmember must be marked on the
body of the vehicle. Do this so the crossmember can be relocated, upon reinstallation, against the body of vehicle in the same location as
before removal. If the front suspension crossmember is not reinstalled in exactly the same location as before removal, the preset front
wheel alignment settings (caster and camber) may be lost.
19. Mark the location of the front crossmember on the body near each mounting bolt using a marker or crayon. Do not use a scratch awl or other
tool that can penetrate the protective coating on the body.
20. Support the front crossmember with a transmission jack.
