Rearward Lateral Link

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: If the vehicle has a nonadjustable rear link, install the link such that the bushing with the letter "A" molded into its rubber attaches to the crossmember and the bushing with the letter "B" molded into its rubber attaches to the knuckle.
  1. Install the lateral link and the attaching nut and bolt at rear suspension crossmember. See Figure. If equipped, the rearward lateral link is to be installed with the adjusting screw toward rear suspension crossmember, not rear knuckle. 
  2. Install the lateral link and the attaching nut, bolt and washer at rear knuckle. See Figure.
  3. Tighten both lateral link attaching bolts to 122 N.m (90 ft. lbs.) torque.
  4. Install the wheel and tire assembly. Progressively tighten the wheel mounting nuts in crisscross sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 135 N.m (100 ft. lbs.).
  5. Lower the vehicle.
  6. Check and reset rear wheel Camber (if applicable) and Toe to specifications if required. (Refer to SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
