Removal
WARNING: All vehicles are equipped with gas-pressurized shock absorbers which will extend unassisted. Do not apply heat or flame to tile
shock absorbers during removal or component servicing.
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in
major service expense. They must be replaced with the same part number or an 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 re-assembly to ensure proper retention of these parts.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3. Using suitable jack stands, support the front axle assembly.
4. Remove the front shock absorber lower mounting nut, washers and bolt.
5. Remove the nut and bolt that retain the spring to the front spring hanger.
