  4. Install the CH-47672-A  clamp to the bushing. See Special Tools . Align the clamp screws with the split portion of the bushing. Position the edge of the clamp where the bushing chamfer blends with the straight section of the bushing. Alternately tighten the clamp screws until the split edges of the bushing are parallel and almost touching.
  5. IMPORTANT: The frame insulator splits must be aligned in a forward and rearward position relative to the vehicle.
