10. Install the splash shield and fascia using new retainers.

11. Install the tire and wheel and lower the vehicle.

12. Check the tire-to-fascia clearance for a minimum of 1/4-inch (6.35 mm). If the clearance is acceptable, no further action is required. If the clearance is not acceptable, the fender will have to be shimmed at the front, continue on to step 13.


NOTE: Body shims are available through local auto body supply shops. The shim(s) thickness must equal 3/16-inch (5 mm).

Figure 8:

13. Loosen the following fender attachments, the lower crossmember screw, the two front closure panel screws and the two forward upper fender side shield screws (Figure 8).

Figure 9:

14. Remove the front attaching bolt from the fender side shield and position the shim between the fender and the side shield (Figure 9).
15. Tighten all screws to 105 in.lbs. (12 N-m) torque.
