NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may

1. CAUTIONS:
Suspension fasteners are critical parts
because they affect performance of vital
components and systems and their
failure can result in major service
expense. A new part with the same part
number or an equivalent part must be
installed, if installation is necessary. Do
not use a part of lesser quality or
substitute design. Torque values must
be used as specified during reassembly
to make sure of correct retention of
these parts.
Performing the following procedures
without first removing the ABS
wheel-speed sensor may possibly cause
an open circuit in the harness if it is
pulled by mistake. Before performing
the following procedures, remove the
ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and
fix it to an appropriate place where the
sensor will not be pulled by mistake
while the vehicle is being serviced.
