Suspension Links Removal/Installation

Note
•  To prevent the bushings from being twisted or pinched, perform the procedures with no passengers or luggage aboard the vehicle.

1.  For the joint sections with rubber bushings, raise the vehicle using a lift and temporarily tighten the installation nuts and bolts, then tighten them to the specified torque with the vehicle placed on the ground.
