the lower control arm and then zero the dial indica-
tor.

dicular to the machined surface of the steering
knuckle.

SHOCK
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SHOCK
A knocking or rattling noise from a shock absorber
may be caused by movement between mounting
bushings and metal brackets or attaching compo-
nents. These noises can usually be stopped by tight-
ening the attaching nuts. If the noise persists,
inspect for damaged and worn bushings, and attach-
ing components. Repair as necessary if any of these
conditions exist.
A squeaking noise from the shock absorber may be
caused by the hydraulic valving and may be intermit-
tent. This condition is not repairable and the shock
absorber must be replaced.
The shock absorbers are not refillable or adjust-
able. If a malfunction occurs, the shock absorber
must be replaced. To test a shock absorber, hold it in
an upright position and force the piston in and out of
the cylinder four or five times. The action throughout
each stroke should be smooth and even.
The shock absorber bushings do not require any
type of lubrication. Do not attempt to stop bushing
noise by lubricating them. Grease and mineral oil-
base lubricants will deteriorate the bushing.

ends of the bar mount to the lower suspension arm.
All mounting points of the stabilizer bar are isolated
by bushings (Fig. 28).
OPERATION
The stabilizer bar is used to minimize vehicle front
sway during turns. The bar helps to maintain a flat
attitude to the road surface.
REMOVAL
NOTE: To service the stabilizer bar the vehicle
should be on a drive on hoist. The vehicle suspen-
sion must be at curb height for stabilizer bar instal-
lation.
(1) Remove the stabilizer bar link upper nuts and
remove the retainers and grommets (Fig. 29).
(2) Remove the stabilizer bar retainer, bolts and
retainers from the frame crossmember (Fig. 29) and
remove the bar.
(3) If necessary, remove the bushings from the sta-
bilizer barDo not cut the old bushings off the
stabilizer bar use a mixture of soapy water in
order to aid in sliding the bushing off.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: To service the stabilizer bar the vehicle must
be on a drive on hoist. The vehicle suspension
must be at curb height for stabilizer bar installation.
(1) If removed, Install the bushings on the stabi-
lizer bar using a mixture of soapy water or equiva-
lent in order to slide the bushing over the bar with
easeDo not cut the new bushing for installa-
tion.
(2) Position the stabilizer bar on the frame cross-
member brackets and install the bracket and bolts
finger-tight (Fig. 29).NOTE: Check the alignment of the bar to ensure
there is no interference with the either frame rail or
chassis component. Spacing should be equal on
both sides.
(3) Install the stabilizer bar to the stabilizer link
and install the grommets and retainers.
(4) Install the nuts to the stabilizer link and
tighten to 38 N´m (27 ft. lbs.).

TORSION BAR
DESCRIPTION
The front of the bar connects to the back side of
the lower suspension arm. The rear end of the bar is
mounted in a anchor that rests in the frame cross-
member.
OPERATION
The torsion bars are used to control ride height
and ride quality. The vehicle height is adjusted
through an anchor adjustment bolt that increases or
decreases the wind up of the torsion bar. Increasing
or decreasing the bar angle changes the wind up of
the suspension arms.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: The left and right side torsion bars are
NOT interchangeable. The bars are identified and
stamped R or L, for right or left. The bars do not
have a front or rear end and can be installed with
either end facing forward.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle with the front
suspension hanging.
(2) Remove the transfer case skid plate (Refer to
13 - FRAME & BUMPERS/FRAME/TRANSFER
CASE SKID PLATE - REMOVAL).
NOTE: Count and record the number of turns for
installation reference.
(3) Mark the adjustment bolt setting.
(4) Install Special Tool - 8686 to the anchor arm
and the cross member (Fig. 30).(5) Increase the tension on the anchor arm tool
until the load is removed from the adjustment bolt
and the adjuster nut (Fig. 30).
(6) Turn the adjustment bolt counterclockwise to
remove the bolt and the adjuster nut..
(7) Remove the Special Tool - 8686, allowing the
torsion bar to unload (Fig. 30).
(8) Remove torsion bar and anchor. Remove anchor
from torsion bar (Fig. 31).
(9) Remove all foreign material from torsion bar
mounting in anchor and suspension arm.
(10) Inspect adjustment bolt, bearing and swivel
for damage.
