9.
Remove and discard the fastening hardware connecting
the axle adapter bracket to the bar-pin bushing and the
pivot connection (on both sides) (Figure 31). Refer to
Section 4 for Service Repair Kits for pivot and axle connections.
NOTE: Be sure to note the current assembled position of
the spacer washers in the pivot connection as this
will be needed for re-assembly (Figure 32).
10. Using a paint pen draw a line to mark the pinion angle of
the bar-pin bushing as this will be needed for installation
of new bushings (Figure 33).
11. Using a floor jack, lower the lower control arm assembly
down from the frame brackets and axle adapters to
access the bushings.
12. Properly support and secure the lower control arm
assembly to remove the bushings.
Failure to properly support the lower
control arm assembly could allow the
lower control arm assembly to shift
abruptly when removing bushings which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
13. Press out the old bushings using a fifteen (15) ton or larger
hydraulic press or the SAF-HOLLAND
14. Clean out all foreign material from the bushing
receptacles in the lower control arm assembly.
NOTE: DO NOT use any open flame or other heat source
to remove the bushings.
15. Visually inspect all components for wear, cracks or failed
welds and replace as necessary.
Failure to replace components that are
worn, cracked or have failed welds could
cause component failure and loss of
vehicle control which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: NEVER weld to the transverse beam of the
lower control arm assembly. If anything
has been welded to the transverse beam
(such as a height control valve linkage
bracket) the entire lower control arm
assembly MUST be replaced.
Failure to replace the lower control arm
assembly when welds have been made
to the transverse beam could cause
component failure and loss of vehicle
control which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
