Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Cadillac Seville. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the lower control arm to the support. See Figure.
    NOTE: The control arm nuts should be tightened with the vehicle unsupported and resting on the wheels at the normal trim height.
  2. Install the lower control arm mounting bolts and nuts.
  3. Install the wheel bearing and hub. Refer to WHEEL BEARING/HUB REPLACEMENT - REAR .
  4. Install the adjustment link to the lower control arm. See Figure.
    NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  5. Install the adjustment link retaining nut. Tighten the adjustment link retaining nuts to 75 N.m (55 lb ft).
  6. Install the stabilizer shaft link. Refer to STABILIZER SHAFT LINK REPLACEMENT .
