Installation Procedure

1. With the spacer plate in place, install new U-bolts (Figure # 1, Items 1). Make sure that the rear spring is correctly positioned on the rear axle.

With the first sequencing torque pattern, torque the U-bolt nuts in a diagonal sequence (e.g. 1-3-2-4) to 35 Nm (25 lb. ft.) (Refer to Figure # 1). For the final torque sequence, torque the U-bolt nuts in a diagonal sequence (e.g. 1-3-2-4) to 135 Nm (100 lb. ft.). Repeat procedure on other side of axle.
