Front





1. NOTE: Front side lean can be adjusted approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) by installing shim D7TZ-5742-A on the low side. A vehicle that is low at the front can be raised by installing shims at both sides.

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.






2. Using a suitable jack, support the axle.






3. Remove and discard the four nuts and two U-bolts.






4. Separate the front axle from the springs.






5. Turn the shim so the recess is facing upward.






6. Insert the shim between the spring and the spring seat.

- Position the shim so the spring tie bolt is in the shim recess, the stud on the bottom of the shim is in the spring seat recess, and the shim is aligned with the spring.






7. Install two new U-bolts and four new nuts.






8. Remove the support from the axle.
