It is recommended that if you are unfamiliar with this type of work that you refer to a qualified service center specializing in this type of work. It is also recommended
that if you choose to do this work yourself that a factory service manual be obtained for the proper procedures pertaining to removal, replacement and proper torque
specifications for your vehicle. This instruction set is intended as a guideline for the safe installation of Energy Suspension’s Polyurethane.
1. Starting with the trailing arm (p/n 8144 & 15.10.374.39) , remove the access
cover on the inside of the fender well (photo 1) to gain access to the pivot bolt.
Loosen and remove. At the spindle loosen and remove the bolt that secures the
trailing arm to the spindle and lower out of vehicle.
2. Using an arbor press or
hydraulic press remove the
original bushing and outer
metal sleeve from trailing arm.
(Photo 2) Be careful not to
damage the loop that the
bushing is installed. Once the bushing has been removed, clean
and de-burr all bushing surfaces. Using the supplied lubricant,
grease the ID of the trailing arm and the ID of bushing. HINT, install
a liberal amount of grease to the leading edge of the bushing
prior to insertion. Install sleeve and assemble trailing arm in
reverse order of removal.

assembly. (Photo 3) Loosen and remove the pivot bolt at the rear cross member,
loosen and remove the attachment bolt at the spindle. Make certain that all
cables and or wiring which may or may not be attached to your control arm have
been removed and safely tucked out of harms way.
4. Using the same procedure as in step 2,

control arm making certain not to damage the
outer loop of the control arm. Grease the ID of
the loop and the ID of the bushing (p/n 3403)

(p/n 15.10.334.39) and install control in reverse
order of removal.
5. At the upper control arm loosen and remove the bolt holding the control arm to
the top of the spindle (Photo 4). Secure the spindle out of harms way during the
remainder of this procedure making sure not to over extend or pinch the brake
lines. Loosen and remove the two pivot bolts on either side of the control arm
assembly at the body and remove arm from vehicle. Using the same procedure as
in step two, remove the two pivot bushings making sure not to damage the loop.
Grease the ID of the loop and the ID of the bushings (p/n 2475) and install into arm.
