Remove and install only one suspension arm at a time to prevent the axle housing from shifting out of position, which complicates reassembly. If necessary to remove more than one, take out the coil springs and support the axle with two floor jacks. Begin by raising the front of the vehicle and securely supporting it on jack stands. Support the axle assembly with a floor jack under the differential or, preferably, two jacks for better balance. Remove the retaining nut and bolt from the frame rail bracket, followed by the nuts and bolts from the axle housing bracket, then take out the front suspension arm. If removal is difficult, use a large pry bar to separate it from the frame and axle brackets. Inspect the bushing in the suspension arm for any signs of cracking, hardness, or deterioration; if replacement is needed, reinstall the suspension arm and take the vehicle to a dealer service department or automotive machine shop for the replacement due to the special tools required. Installation follows the reverse order of removal, ensuring that fasteners are tightened to the specified torque, with the vehicle at normal ride height before tightening. For the rear, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands, then support the axle assembly similarly. Remove the nuts and bolts securing the upper suspension arm to the axle housing and frame brackets, followed by the lower suspension arm in the same manner. Inspect the bushings as previously described, and if replacement is necessary, reinstall the suspension arm and seek professional assistance. Again, installation is the reverse of removal, with attention to proper torque specifications and vehicle height during the process.
