Component Replacement Instructions
9.
Remove and discard the frame bracket fastening
hardware from the frame rail (Figure 47).
When removing both frame brackets,
remove one at a time or support the
crossmember to prevent disassembly,
which if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
10. Slide the frame bracket off of the frame rails and lower
control arm assembly (Figure 48).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower the lower control arm
assembly to remove the frame brackets.
NOTE: Mark which side of the suspension the fixed and
adjustable frame brackets are located as this will
be needed for re-assembly.

frame bracket.
Failure to replace a cracked or worn
frame bracket could cause loss of vehicle
control which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
11. Slide the new frame bracket into the proper position on the
frame rail and lower the control arm assembly (Figure 48).

bracket to the lower control arm assembly at the pivot
connection (Figure 49) and torque according to the
specifications listed in Section 16.

in the proper positions between the frame
bracket flanges and the pivot end of the lower
control arm assembly. Refer to (Figure 32).
