DISASSEMBLY - LOWER CONTROL ARM
(REAR BUSHING - HYDRO)
(1) Remove the lower control arm from the front
suspension cradle. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/
FRONT/LOWER CONTROL ARM - REMOVAL)
(2) Mount the lower control arm in a visewithout
using excessive clamping force.
(3) Install Remover, Special Tool 8460, on hydro-
bushing as shown (Fig. 24). Removal Pin, Special
Tool 8460±3, must extend though hole in center of
bushing rear.
(4) Tighten forcing screw of Bridge (Special Tool
8460±1), removing bushing from lower control arm.
INSPECTION - LOWER CONTROL ARM
Inspect lower control arm for signs of damage from
contact with the ground or road debris. If lower con-
trol arm shows any sign of damage, inspect lower
control arm for distortion. Do not attempt to repair
or straighten a broken or bent lower control arm. If
damaged, the lower control arm casting is serviced
only as a complete component.
Inspect both lower control arm isolator bushings
for severe deterioration, and replace as required.
Inspect the rear hydro-bushing for seepage. Both
type rear bushings are serviceable. If the front bush-
ing fails, the lower control arm must be replaced.
Inspect and test the ball joint per the procedure
listed in Lower Ball Joint. (Refer to 2 - SUSPEN-
SION/FRONT/LOWER BALL JOINT - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING)
ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY - LOWER CONTROL ARM (REAR
BUSHING - STANDARD)
CAUTION: Do not apply grease or any other type of
lubricant other than the silicone lubricant specified
below to the control arm bushing.
(1) Apply Mopar Silicone Spray Lube or an equiv-
alent, to the hole in lower control arm rear bushing.
This will aid in the installation of the bushing on the
lower control arm.
(2) With the lower control arm held securely in a
vise, install bushing on lower control arm. Install
bushing by pushing and rocking the bushing until it
is fully installed on lower control arm. Be sure that
when bushing is installed it is past the upset on the
end of the lower control arm (Fig. 25).
(3) The rear bushing of the lower control arm,
when correctly installed, is to be positioned on the
lower control arm as shown (Fig. 25).
(4) Install lower control arm on vehicle. (Refer to 2
- SUSPENSION/FRONT/LOWER CONTROL ARM -
INSTALLATION)

CAUTION: Do not apply grease or any other type of
lubricant to the arm stem where the bushing is to
be mounted. Such action will reduce proper bush-
ing adhesion to arm.

(1) Secure lower control arm in a vise.
NOTE: Hydro bushings and grooves on control arm
stems are unique for right and left sides. Left side
bushing master spline and control arm groove are
on the top (when mounted on vehicle). Right side
bushing master spline and control arm groove are
on the bottom (when mounted on vehicle).
(2) Align master spline on bushing inner sleeve
with groove on lower control arm rear bushing stem
(Fig. 26). Start bushing on stem by hand.
(3) Install Remover/Installer, Special Tool 8460,
over bushing and lower control arm as shown (Fig.
27). Engage flange on lower control arm with tips of
Bridge, Special Tool 8460±1 as shown (Fig. 27). The
contoured side of Installer Cup, Special Tool 8460±2,
should be fitted up against rear of the bushing.
(4) Begin to tighten forcing screw. As bushing
nears lower control arm flange, place Spacer Plate,
Special Tool 8460±4 between flange and bushing
inner sleeve, straddling the stem as shown (Fig. 28).
(5) Install bushing up against Spacer Plate, tight-
ening the bridge forcing screw with a torque wrench
until approximately 50 N´m (37 ft. lbs.) torque is
reached. This will properly space bushing on the
stem in relation to the flange.
(6) Back off the forcing screw and remove tool.
(7) Install lower control arm on vehicle. (Refer to 2

INSTALLATION - LOWER CONTROL ARM
(1) Position lower control arm assembly into front
suspension cradle crossmember guiding bushings into
mounting position (Fig. 22).
(2) Install NEW pivot bolt attaching front bushing
of lower control arm to front suspension cradle cross-
member (Fig. 29).Do not tighten or torque pivot
bolt at this time.
(3) Install the reinforcement on the front suspen-
sion cradle crossmember and install the bolts attach-
ing the reinforcement to the cradle crossmember
(Fig. 22). Tighten the M-14 size bolts to a torque of

(3) Clutch circuit leaks are indicated if pressures
do not fall within the specified pressure range.
(4)
If the overdrive clutch pressure is greater than 5
psi in Step 4 of Test Three, a worn reaction shaft seal
ring or a defective solenoid assembly is indicated.
(5) If the underdrive clutch pressure is greater
than 5 psi in Step 4 of Test Two A, a defective sole-
noid assembly or PCM/TCM is the cause.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH AIR
PRESSURE TESTS
Inoperative clutches can be located using a series
of tests by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure
(Fig. 5) (Fig. 6). The clutches may be tested by apply-
ing air pressure to their respective passages. The
valve body must be removed and Tool 6056 installed.
To make air pressure tests, proceed as follows:
NOTE: The compressed air supply must be free of
all dirt and moisture. Use a pressure of 30 psi.
Remove oil pan and valve body. See Valve body
removal.
OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the overdrive clutch apply
passage and watch for the push/pull piston to moveforward. The piston should return to its starting
position when the air pressure is removed.
REVERSE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the reverse clutch apply pas-
sage and watch for the push/pull piston to move rear-
ward. The piston should return to its starting
position when the air pressure is removed.
2/4 CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the feed hole located on the
2/4 clutch retainer. Look in the area where the 2/4
piston contacts the first separator plate and watch
carefully for the 2/4 piston to move rearward. The
piston should return to its original position after the
air pressure is removed.
