5. If vehicle is equipped with AWD, make sure spac-

ers (1) on top of crossmember mount bushings (2)
on side of repair are in position.

6. Carefully raise jack, guiding coil spring and upper

end of shock absorber (4) into mounted positions.

7. Install shock absorber upper mounting screws (2).

Tighten upper mounting screws to 52 N·m (38 ft.
lbs.) torque.

NOTE: Rear crossmember mounting bolts (2) are
longer than front mounting bolts (3). Do not inter-
change mounting bolts.

8. Install crossmember mounting bolts (2 and 3).

Snug, but do not fully tighten bolts at this time.

9. Measure distance (1) between from tension link (2)

to body weld flange (3) directly in front of it, just
outboard of front mount bushing (4). This distance
must be at least 12 mm to allow proper clear-
ance for suspension movement.
If distance is
less than 12 mm, shift that side of rear crossmem-
ber directly rearward until distance is 12 mm or
greater. To do so, loosen 3 mounting bolts slightly,
leaving one on opposite side of shift snugged to
pivot off of. Shift crossmember rearward and snug
loosened bolts. Measure opposite side to be sure it
also maintains minimum 12 mm distance.

10. Tighten all crossmember mounting bolts (2 and 3)

to 180 N·m (133 ft. lbs.) torque.

11. Remove jack (3) from under rear axle differential.

12. If previously lowered, raise rear exhaust back to

mounted position and connect exhaust isolators at
muffler and resonators hangers. Remove jack or
stand below exhaust muffler.

wooden block between stand and link to avoid
damaging spring link, then lower vehicle until full
vehicle weight is supported by suspension.

15. Tighten camber link fasteners (2) to:

Bolt at crossmember – 85 N·m (63 ft. lbs.)
torque.

Bolt nut at knuckle – 98 N·m (72 ft. lbs.) torque.
