15. With the floor jack under the transaxle, position the leaf springs in the front spring mounts and install
the bolts and locknuts. Tighten to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m) (Figure 16-90, Page 16-37).
16. Again, using the floor jack, adjust vehicle height to position the leaf springs for mounting in the shack-
les. Install the mounting bolts and locknuts (Figure 16-91, Page 16-37). Tighten to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m).
17. Adjust the rear suspension height with the floor jack to install the two bolts securing the stabilizer bar to
the stabilizer bar links. See Section 9 – Rear Suspension.
