⁽¹⁾	Since bonded rubber bushings can only be turned to a limited extent, tighten all bolts and nuts to specification. Parts that have bonded rubber bushing should be torqued only when vehicle is standing on ground (normal vehicle height).

⁽²⁾	Always replace with NEW fastener. Always replace self-locking nuts.

⁽³⁾	Final tighten axle shaft bolt with wheels resting on ground.

⁽⁴⁾	There are two version of stabilizer bar coupling links. See Figure -Figure .

⁽⁵⁾	For subframe installation and bolt torques, see SUBFRAME & SUBFRAME BUSHINGS .

⁽⁶⁾	Torque depends on type of bolt installed. See BOLT VERSIONS for proper torque specification.

⁽⁷⁾	When tie rod end fastener is loosed or removed, toe constant "S" must be checked and adjusted. See PROCEDURES & SPECIFICATIONS article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT.

⁽⁸⁾	With steel wheel bearing housing 74 ft. lbs. (100 N.m). With aluminum wheel bearing housing 92 ft. lbs. (125 N.m).
