(10) Install the retainer clips securing both rear
parking brake cables assemblies to the rear suspen-
sion crossmember (Fig. 20).
(11) Reconnect the right rear parking brake cable
to the intermediate parking brake cable.
(12) Install the parking brake cable tensioner to
the left rear parking brake cable.
(13) Install the parking brake cable tensioner to
the intermediate parking brake cable. Refer to Base
Brake System in Group 5 Brakes in this manual for
the required service procedure to install and properly
adjust the parking brakes.
(14) Install the 4 bolts attaching both stabilizer
bar isolator bushing retainers to the frame rails (the
2 rearward attaching bolts attach the front corners of
the rear suspension crossmember in place). Tighten
the forward stabilizer bar isolator bushing retainer
attaching bolts to 40 N·m (30 ft. lbs.). Tighten the 2
rearward stabilizer bar isolator bushing retainer
attaching bolts (which also serve as the front cross-
member attaching bolts) to 100 N·m (75 ft. lbs.).
(15) Tighten the rear suspension crossmember rear
attaching bolts to 100 N·m (75 ft. lbs.).
(16) Install the screw securing the brake tubes to
the left stabilizer bar isolator bushing retainer.
(17) Install the remaining 3 lateral links to the
rear suspension crossmember. The forward lateral
arm mounting bolts must point rearward, and the
rearward lateral arm mounting bolts must point for-
ward.
CAUTION: The bolts attaching the forward lateral
links to the crossmember must be installed with the
bolts pointing rearward (Fig. 19) to prevent damage
to the fuel tank and or fuel tubes. The bolt attaching
the left rear lateral link must be installed with the
bolt pointing forward to prevent damage to the fuel
filler tube.
(18) Install the lateral link attaching nuts, but DO
NOT fully tighten at this time.
CAUTION: Tightening the lateral link attaching bolts
at this time will cause the bushings contort at curb
riding height, leading to premature failure of the
bushings. Tighten bolts only when vehicle is at
curb riding height.
(19) Install wheel and tire assemblies on vehicle.
(20) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 129 N·m (95 ft. lbs.).

(22) Install the 3 fuel filler neck attaching screws.
Reinstall the fuel filler cap.
(23) Tighten all 4 lateral arm to crossmember
attaching bolt and nut assemblies to 95 N·m (70 ft.
lbs.).

tions if required.
