(12) Remove the shock absorber and upper control
arm mounting bracket as an assembly from the vehi-
cle. The shock absorber is removed out through the
front area of the front wheel well.
INSTALL
(1) Install the shock absorber assembly, with the
clevis removed, into shock tower. Aligning the 2 locat-
ing pins and the 4 mounting holes on the upper con-
trol arm shock absorber mount with the 4 holes in
shock tower. Install the 4 upper control arm mount
to shock tower mounting bolts (Fig. 8). Tighten the 4
bolts to a torque of 95 N·m (70 ft. lbs.).
(2) Install the clevis on the shock absorber. Clevis
is installed by tapping it onto the fluid reservoir of
the shock absorber using a soft (brass) drift until
fully seated against locating tab on shock absorber
(Fig. 9). Orientation tab on locating tab must be posi-
tioned in the split of the clevis (Fig. 9).
(3) Install the pinch bolt retaining the shock clevis
to the shock absorber (Fig. 6). Tighten the pinch bolt
to a torque of 88 N·m (65 ft. lbs.)
(4) Install the clevis bracket to lower control arm
thru-bolt (Fig. 7). Do not tighten or torque the thru-
bolt at this time.
(5) Install upper ball joint into steering knuckle.
Install castle nut on ball joint stud. Tighten castle
nut to a torque of 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.). Install cotter
pin in stud of ball joint (Fig. 4).
(6) Install the routing bracket for the speed control
cable (Fig. 3) on the steering knuckle. Install and
securely tighten the routing bracket attaching bolt
(Fig. 3).
CAUTION:
When supporting lower control arm
with jack stand, do not position jack stand under
the ball joint cap on the lower control arm. Position
in area of lower control arm shown in (Fig. 10).
(7) Lower vehicle to the ground with a jack stand
positioned under the lower control arm (Fig. 10).
Continue to lower vehicle so the total weight of the
vehicle is supported by the jack stand and lower con-
trol arm.
(8) Tighten the shock absorber clevis to lower con-
trol arm bushing thru-bolt nut to a torque of 88 N·m
(65 ft. lbs.).
(9) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).
UPPER CONTROL ARM
REMOVE
(1) Raise vehicle on jack stands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this manual, for
the required lifting procedure to be used for this
vehicle.
