PROCEDURE

  1. INSTALL REAR AXLE CARRIER SUB-ASSEMBLY

    1. C234165

      Secure the rear axle carrier sub-assembly between aluminum plates in a vise.

      Note:

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. Using a brass bar and a hammer, push out the bushing until it is positioned as shown in the illustration.

      Tip:

      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.
