front wheel.
2. Jack the rear of the vehicle with the floor jack
under the differential and place jack stands un-
der the frame just behind the lower control arm
frame mounts. Leave the jack stands high
enough to let the floor jack down and still have
the front tires suspended in the air. Keep the
floor jack under the differential with slight pres-
sure for support. Remove the front wheels.
3. Disconnect the track bar from the axle and save
the hardware for reuse.
4. Using the appropriate tool, disconnect the steer-
ing linkage from the pitman arm and save the
hardware for reuse.

the vehicle. Save the hardware for reuse.

the bottom of the spring.
8. Unbolt the brake line from the inner fender well
and straighten the Z-Shaped bend to the lower
hose.

springs and the OE isolators. Label the springs
as to which side they were removed, Left and
Right so that they are reinstalled in the side in
which they were removed.
Install Front Suspension
1. Support the front axle using jack stands.
2. On the passenger side, with the axle supported,
remove the passenger side upper and lower
control arm from the vehicle. Be sure to leave
the driver side control arms in place to keep the
front axle from rolling over. The offset of the
tube is to be located on the bottom closest to
the front axle. (Don’t fully tighten until vehicle is
back on the ground).
3. Install the arm (82-TM30011) into the mounting
pockets on the frame using the previously re-
moved OE bolts and hardware.
