Installation Procedure
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application.
The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require
thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors)
on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you
avoid damage to parts and systems.
1. Install the left control arm to the crossmember. Secure with one bolt (1). Do not tighten the bolt.
2. Install the left crossmember bracket and the one nut (4) to the front suspension crossmember. Do not torque the nut.
3. Raise and support the front suspension crossmember and the left control arm together with a jack.
4. Install, but do not tighten, the four bolts (2, 5, 6, 7)
