LEAF SPRING REMOVAL – 850
1. Loosen, but do not remove, lug nuts on tire and wheel assembly on the side from which the spring is to
be removed. Place chocks at the front wheels and lift the rear of the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack.
Position jack stands under the frame crossmember between the spring mount and the side stringer, just
forward of each rear wheel. Lower the vehicle to let the jack stands support the vehicle
(Figure 9-1,
Page 9-2) . See following WARNING .

WARNING
• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic
floor jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold
vehicle in raised position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the
vehicle and chock the wheels that remain on the floor. When not performing a test or service
procedure that requires movement of the wheels, lock the brakes.
2. Place a floor jack under the transaxle differential casing to support (but not lift) the drivetrain. Raise it just
enough to relieve tension on the shock absorbers without compressing them.
3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly on the side from which the spring is to be removed.
4. Remove the bow-tie pin (1) and the clevis pin (2) at the brake lever and brake cable connection and pull
the clevis (3) away from the lever (Figure 9-2, Page 9-2) . Detach the brake cable from the shock mount
bracket (16) (Figure 9-4, Page 9-5) .
5. Remove the nut (5), cup washers (9), and rubber bushings (10) from the lower mounting stem of the
shock absorber.
6. Remove the nuts (17), bolts (18) and bushing support (19) attaching the rear stabilizer bar (21) to the
shock mount bracket (Figure 9-5, Page 9-6) .
7. Remove the nuts (14) and the U-bolt (11) securing the spring to the transaxle. Remove the shock mount
bracket (16) and the U-bolt.
8. Remove the nut (2) and bolt (15) attaching the rear spring to the lower end of the shackle brackets (1).
9. Remove the nut (2) and bolt (15) attaching the front of the spring to the vehicle frame and remove the
spring.
10. Inspect the bushings (4) and spacers (3) in the spring eyes and replace them if they are worn or dam-
aged.
LEAF SPRING INSTALLATION – ALL VEHICLES
1. To install the springs, reverse the removal procedure. See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
• When positioning the spring on the transaxle, be sure to insert the locating bolt on the spring
in the locating hole in the transaxle saddle.
2. Tighten the nuts on the U-bolts to 35 ft-lb (46.5 N·m).
3. Tighten nylon lock nuts (2) on spring mounting bolts (15) to 27 ft-lb (36.6 N·m) (Figure 9-3, Page 9-3) .
4. Tighten the nuts (5) until the rubber bushing (10) expands to the size of the cup washer (9).
5. 850 Models: Tighten the stabilizer bar hardware. See Stabilizer Bar Installation on page 9-7.
