springs must be supporting the weight of the

comfort could be affected and premature bushing

wear may occur.

Raise the axle housing back into position and support with a hydraulic jack. HINT: The axle housing should be evenly supported and the suspension at normal ride height. Do not attempt removal or installation with the suspension extended, or the axle drooped, as this will place tension on suspension arm mounting hardware. Remove the lower suspension arm nut and bolt from the axle housing bracket. Retain the original mounting hardware.
