      Tech Tips

      Pushing out the bushing makes it easier to install the rear axle carrier sub-assembly.

    3. Using a jack and wooden block, keep the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly level.

      CAUTION:

      Do not jack up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly too high as the vehicle may fall.

      Note


      • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.

      • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.
