6. Carefully raise jack, guiding coil spring and upper

7. Install shock absorber upper mounting screws (2).
Tighten upper mounting screws to 52 N·m (38 ft.
lbs.) torque.

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.
