Rear Suspension Assembly: Reassembly
- If dust cover is replaced, slide new dust cover up to stopper on right suspension arm. Apply grease to outside of right suspension arm. Using right suspension arm, install rubber stopper into left suspension arm.
- Apply grease to outer surfaces of bushings "A" and "B". Using Bushing Installer (MB990780) and Handle (MB990779), install bushing "B" until bushing bottoms in arm. Install bushing "A" using bushing installer. Install stabilizer bar. Slowly push suspension arms together, and wipe away excess grease.
- Ensure stabilizer bar mark aligns with punch mark on stabilizer bar bracket. Install inner and outer rubber bushings, fixtures and washers. DO NOT apply grease to bushings or shaft threads.
- Ensure toothed side of washer faces bushing and cutout area of fixture faces forward. Install fixtures and suspension arm in original positions. Align marks scribed during disassembly. Install nuts.
- Tighten nuts to specification with vehicle at normal operating height and no load. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article. Pack dust cover with grease, and secure using new clamp.
