Suspension Arms Replacement
When the suspension arms are to be removed, place additional weight in the trunk before hOisting. When
substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity may change causing the vehicle to tip
forward.
Note these items during replacement:
• Replace the
self~locking
nuts after removal.
• Any bolts or nuts connected to rubber mounts or bushings should be tightened with the vehicle on the ground.
• Make sure the toe adjusting bolts on the compensator arm are installed in the same direction.
• After installing the suspension arm, check the rear wheel alignment, and adjust if necessary (see page 18-4),
