INSTALL
CAUTION: Pivot bolt must face inboard to prevent
structural damage during installation of spring.
(1) Install the front of the rear leaf spring into the
spring mount (Fig. 18). Install the pivot bolt and nut.
Do not tighten the pivot bolt at this time.
(2) Position the front spring mount for the rear
leaf spring against the floor pan of the vehicle.
Install the 4 mounting bolts for the spring mount.
Tighten the 4 mounting bolts to a torque of 61 N·m
(45 ft. lbs.).
(3) Install the rear of the leaf spring onto the outer
half of the rear hanger. Install the inner half of the
rear hanger. Install the nut and bolts on the rear
hanger but do not tighten at this time.
(4) Raise axle assembly into correct position with
axle centered under spring locator post.
(5) Install axle plate bolts. Tighten bolts to 108
N·m (80 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Install shock absorber bolts. Do not tighten.
(7) Lower vehicle to floor and with full weight of
vehicle on wheels. Tighten component fasteners as
follows:
CAUTION: The following sequence must be fol-
lowed when tightening the pin nuts on the rear
hanger for the rear leaf spring. First the hanger pin
nuts must be tightened to the specified torque
shown below. Then tighten the retaining bolts for
the inner to outer half of the spring hanger to the
torque specification listed below. This sequence
must be followed to properly seat the bushings into
the springs and to avoid bending the spring hanger.
•
Front pivot bolt-156 N·m (115 ft. lbs.)
•
Rear spring hanger pin nuts-61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.)
•
Rear spring hanger inner to outer half retaining
bolts-61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.)
•
Shock absorber upper mounting bolt-115 N·m
(85 ft. lbs.)
•
Shock absorber lower mounting bolt-108 N·m (80
ft. lbs.)
(8) If the vehicle is not equipped with antilock
brakes, raise vehicle and connect the actuator for the
height sensing proportioning valve on the rear leaf
spring. Adjust the height sensing proportioning
valve. Refer to the Adjustment Section in this group
of the service manual for the required adjustment
procedure.
