SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2.
NOTE: Shields are molded with "LH" and "RH" to ease identification.
Install the left and right axle shields being sure to position them so there is clearance between the shield and the stabilizer bar as illustrated. On
1992 to 1997 model year vehicles, be sure the ABS circuit wiring harness is not pinched under the shield and the right side parking brake cable is
positioned in the notch molded into the shield. Tighten the clamps to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). See Figures 1 and 2.
In some cases, excess weld material on the coil spring seat or stabilizer bar bracket can interfere with clamp installation. If necessary, grind away
only enough excess weld material to allow for correct seating of the shield and clamp onto the axle. DO NOT grind the parent metal.
3.
CAUTION: Tie straps, which are required for 1998 to 2002 model year vehicles only, have specific heat resistant properties. Use of a tie strap
other than what is supplied in the kit can jeopardize the repair. Also, correct orientation of the tie strap is critical to the repair. The head of the tie
strap must be positioned on the forward-facing side of the shock mount bracket.
