Lean Correction - Rear

Lean Correction - Rear

NOTE: A side to side lean may be adjusted by 6 mm (0.25 inch). This is accomplished by placing a shim (D7TZ-5742-A) between the rear spring and the axle on the low side of the vehicle.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
2. Using a suitable jack, support the rear axle.
3. Remove and discard the 4 rear nuts and U-bolts.
^ Remove the spring plate.
^ To install, tighten to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.)





4. Using the jack, lower the rear axle approximately 13 mm (0.51 inch).

5. NOTE: Make sure that the spring locator bolt is centered in the spacer hole.

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a spring spacer block, place the shim between the rear spring and the axle spacer.

Install the spacer (D7TZ-5742-A) between the spring and the axle.
