Removal
1. 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.
Raise and support the vehicle.

2. Lower the vehicle until the front suspension is supporting the vehicle weight.
3. Disconnect the trackbar from the upper mounting bracket.
