7. Remove the front suspension support.

Installation Procedure

Important: If the location of the original plug weld
holes can not be determined, space the plug
weld holes every 40 mm (1

⁄

in) apart.

1. Drill 8 mm (5/16 in) plug weld holes in the service

part as necessary in the locations noted from the
original panel.

2. Prepare all mating surfaces as necessary.

3. Apply 3M Weld-Thru Coating P/N 05916 or

equivalent to all mating surfaces.

4. Position the front suspension support to the

vehicle using 3–dimensional measuring
equipment. Clamp the support into place.
