INSTALLATION
1. Apply soapsuds to all of the rubber bushings.
2. Install the rear spring shackle and rear leaf spring front nut and bolt. Finger-tighten the nuts.
3. Install the rear spring clip U-bolts and bumper on top of the rear leaf spring.
4. Install the rear spring pad, and nuts under the axle case.
5. Tighten diagonally and in few steps the rear spring clip U-bolt
nuts, until the lengths of all the exposed rear spring clip U-bolt
threads under spring pad are equal in length, within a tolerance
of 3 mm (0.12 in).
Tighten nuts to specification. Refer toRSU-4, "
Components".
6. Install the shock absorber, and finger-tighten the nuts.
7. Remove the jack supporting the rear final drive assembly and
