Removal

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital parts and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. Mark the position of the rearward lower arm adjustment cam to the crossmember.





2. Remove the spring.
3. Remove and discard the lower arm-to-crossmember nut, then remove the cam adjuster, cam bolt and the lower arm.
