Position under-hoist utility jack or transmission jack under center of rear suspension crossmember (without AWD) or rear driveline module (with AWD). see scheme 93 Raise jack head to contact driveline module/suspension crossmember and secure in place. 1 - REAR DRIVELINE MODULE 2 - JACK 3 - REAR SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER
18. Remove lower mounting bolt and nut at each rear shock absorber. (Scheme 32)
19. Remove both front and rear crossmember mounting bolts on left side of vehicle. (Scheme 33)
20. Slowly lower jack allowing left side of crossmember to drop. Do not lower jack at a fast rate. Lower jack just enough to allow spring removal. Do not lower jack any further than necessary.
21. Remove coil spring and isolator. (Scheme 34), lower end first.
22. Raise left side of crossmember back into mounted position and install previously removed mounting bolts. It is not necessary to tighten bolts at this point.
23. Remove both front and rear crossmember mounting bolts on right side of vehicle. (Scheme 33)
24. Slowly lower jack allowing right side of crossmember to drop. Do not lower jack at a fast rate. Lower jack just enough to allow spring removal. Do not lower jack any further than necessary.
25. Remove coil spring and isolator. (Scheme 34), lower end first.
26. Raise right side of crossmember back into mounted position. It is not necessary to install mounting bolts.
27. Remove both front and rear crossmember mounting bolts previously removed on left side of crossmember. (Scheme 33)
28. Slowly lower jack. Do not lower jack at a fast rate. As jack is lowered, remove propeller shaft from alignment pin on end of rear driveline module input flange and support it with a bungee or cord, keeping it at its normal height. Do not allow propeller shaft to hang on its own.
29. Continue to lower jack until rear suspension module is at a comfortable working level.
30. Remove rear suspension module from jack.
31. Turn rear suspension module upside down and place on appropriate working surface.
32. As an installation reference, carefully mark location of bushing requiring removal on crossmember using a marker or crayon. (Scheme 31)and. see scheme 94 Do not use a scratch awl to mark location. 1 - MARKER OR CRAYON 2 - CROSSMEMBER 3 - BUSHING CAN FLANGE
33. Using a mallet, remove bushing ear by tapping it upward off bushing. see scheme 95 1 - COMPRESSION LINK 2 - LINK MOUNTING NUT AND BOLT 3 - BUSHING EAR 4 - BUSHING
34. Remove nut and bolt fastening compression link to crossmember. see scheme 95
35. Lift compression link out of mounted position on crossmember and move it inboard.
36. Assemble tools over bushing as shown (remember crossmember is upside-down). see scheme 96 Ensure Remover lies between voids on bushing to better contact bushing can. 1 - RECEIVER 9031-8 2 - PRESS C-4212F 3 - REMOVER 9031-5 4 - BUSHING VOIDS 5 - REAR CROSSMEMBER
37. Tighten Press screw-drive, pressing bushing out of crossmember.
