Spring And Damper Assembly - Rear - LH - Remove And Replace: Installation

Installation is the reverse of removal with exception to the following:

NOTE: Clean the affected areas before installation.
CAUTION: Replace all nylon-insert locknuts.
CAUTION: Replace all patchbolt(s).
CAUTION: Ensure that the bolt that secures the spring assembly to the knuckle is inserted towards the rear of the vehicle; the head of the bolt faces the front of the vehicle and the nut is tightened at the rear.
CAUTION: Only fully tighten suspension nuts and bolts when the vehicle is on a 4-post lift and the suspension is in the ride height position.

Refer to the Alignment Requirement tables to determine if an alignment check (AC) or full adjustment (FA) is necessary. See ALIGNMENT REQUIREMENT - SUSPENSION .
