‰ 1. REMOVE ORIGINAL LOWER
SUSPENSION ARM
 Raise and support the vehicle chassis with jack
stands positioned in rear of the front lower suspen-
sion arm brackets.

and support with a hydraulic jack. HINT: The
axle housing should be evenly supported and the
suspension at normal ride height. Do not attempt
removal or installation with the suspension extend-
ed, or the axle drooped, as this will place tension
on suspension arm mounting hardware.

from the axle housing bracket. Retain the original
mounting hardware.

bracket. Retain the original mounting hardware.
