First, make the vehicle sit up on jack stands and take off the tire, wheel and
Brake Caliper with the rotor. Then, take out the cotter pin and nut from the tie rod and use the Puller C-3894-A to remove the
Tie Rod End from the
Steering Knuckle. Remove the stabilizer bar link from the lower suspension arm and then jack up the outboard end of the arm, placing the jack under it in front of the shock mount. With Remover C-4150A, take out the cotter pin and nut underneath the
Ball Joint. Get rid of the lower shock bolt from the suspension arm, drop down the jack and suspension arm to take the tension from the springs and then remove the spring and rubber isolator. After that, remove the bolts that secure the suspension arm to the crossmember and get rid of the arm. Place the suspension arm over the crossmember during installation and bolt it down tightly. Slide the rubber isolator over the spring and place the spring into its upper seat. With the jack, raise the lower suspension arm and place the spring into the attachment point inside. Place the lower shock bolt in the car and tighten it using 142 Nm (105 ft. lbs.). Attach the steering knuckle to the lower ball joint, fix the lower ball joint nut to 129 Nm (95 ft. lbs.) for LD or 136 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) for HD and set the lower ball joint cotter pin. Connect the stabilizer bar link to the lower suspension arm, slide the grommet and retainer into place and secure the link with the nut, tightening to 37 Nm (27 ft. lbs.). Secure the new tie rod end to the steering knuckle, apply 108 Nm (80 ft. lbs.) of torque to the nut and put in the cotter pin. Place the caliper and rotor back on, press the tire against the rim and then install the wheel. Take away the support platform and put the car back on the ground, then tighten the suspension arm crossmember nuts to 169 Nm (125 ft. lbs.).
