If a new rear support is being installed, a transfer ofcomponents is necessary.Upper Control ArmsTighten the upper control arm to rear support nut and bolt to160-Y(118-lb-ft).
Lower Control ArmsTighten the lower control arm to rear support nut and bolt to110-Y(81-lb-ft).
Stabilizer bar and insulatorsTighten the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp bolts to70-Y(52-lb-ft).
Tighten the stabilizer link to stabilizer shaft nut to57-Y(42-lb-ft).
Knuckles – Loosely install the upper and lowercontrol arm to knuckle nuts/bolts. These fasteners will betightened later in this procedure after the wheel driveshafts areinstalled.With the aid of an assistant, position the rear support ontothe transmission jack and firmly secure the support to the jackwith straps.Position the rear support assembly to the vehicle.Install the 4-rear support to body bolts andtighten to170-Y(125-lb-ft).Install the rear differential. Refer toDifferential Replacement.Install the rear wheel drive shafts. Refer toRear Wheel Drive Shaft Replacement.Install the adjustment links. Refer toAdjust Link Replacement.Install the trailing arms. Refer toTrailing Arm Replacement.
