recommended that both rear springs are replaced as a
set.
HINT : In most vehicles it will be easier if the springs
are replaced one at a time.
6. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support with jack
stands.
7. Tie up or support the rear axle so it cannot fall out
of the vehicle.
8. Remove the nuts from the u-bolts holding the
spring to the axle tube.
9. Support the spring so that it cannot fall out of the
vehicle.
10. Remove the lower bolt from the spring hanger.
11. Remove the spring bolt from the other end of the
spring and remove the spring from the vehicle.
12. Inspect the spring bolts and spring hangers for
signs of wear or damage. If any wear or damage
is found, then they must be replaced.
Always use a lifting strap, hoist, and jack
stands, of adequate capacity to lift and
support the vehicle. Failure to use lifting
and support devices of rated load capacity
may result in severe bodily injury.
Damaged or worn spring bolts or hangers
could result in sudden failure of the
suspension causing severe bodily injury or
property damage.
