(1) Supporting the rear suspension assembly with a trans-
mission jack, move it toward the rear (in the direction of
wtthe fuel tank).
c1(2) Gradually lower the transmission jack, avoiding contact
with the stabilizer bar and the propeller shaft.
Caution
1. Ensure that the propeller shaft does not bend
greatly.
2.Ensure that the liibro joint does not receive any
shock.
NOTEThe lowering of the rear suspension assembly from the
transmission jack requires three individuals due to the
amount of weight being handled (one on the differen-
tial, and one on either side of the lower arm).
(3) In order to protect the rear suspension assembly dust
shield, support the lower arm ball joint with a wooden
block.
