Front end installation:
1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so
that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift
the front of the vehicle and support the frame with a pair of
jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the
passenger side. Next, remove the front wheels and tires
from both sides.
2. Working on the driver side, remove the hardware that
connects the ABS line bracket to the upper control arm.
Save the hardware for later re-installation. Repeat proce-
dure on the passenger side.
3. Working on the driver side, remove the hardware that
connects the brake line bracket to the knuckle. Save the
hardware for
later re-
installation.
Repeat pro-
cedure in the
p a s s e n g e r
side.
4. Working on the driver side, remove the (4) upper nuts
that connect the strut into the upper location. Save the nuts
for later re-installation. Repeat procedure on the passenger
side. Special note: Only remove the (4) upper outer
nuts, DO NOT remove the nut in the middle of the strut.
5. Working on the driver side, remove the cotter pin from
the upper control arm ball joint. Save the cotter pin for later
re-installation. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
6. Working on the driver side, loosen but do not remove the
nut that connects the upper control arm ball joint to the
steering knuckle. Carefully break the taper by striking the
knuckle with a hammer. Special note: Take special care
not to damage the upper control arm ball joint or rip the
upper control arm ball joint dust boot. For now, leave
the upper control arm attached to the knuckle. We want
to just break the taper for now. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side.
7. Working on the driver side, remove the cotter pin from
the outer tie rod ball joint. Save the cotter pin for later re-
installation. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
