The first step to replace bushing-style Torsion Bar and support assembly requires raising and supporting the vehicle. Place the Torsion Bar unloading/loading tool j 36202 onto the crossmember and adjustment arm before beginning the procedure. Apply tension to the adjustment arm with the j 36202 until the adjuster nut and adjustment bolt become unloaded after marking the bolt position. Record the required turns needed for bolt removal. The adjustment bolt and the adjuster nut from the crossmember must be removed before taking out the j 36202 so the Torsion Bar can unload. Remove the adjustment arm and Torsion Bar crossmember bolt from its weld nut before pulling the crossmember out from its mount. Remove the Torsion Bar from the crossmember while keeping in mind that left and right bars differ by design and do not fit one another before extracting all torsion bars from the vehicle. Install the Torsion Bar into its position in the lower
Control Arm before placing it on the crossmember mount. Screw the Torsion Bar crossmember bolt into the weld nut before tightening it to 95 n.m (70 lb ft). First position the adjustment arm inside the crossmember before inserting the adjuster bolt and adjuster nut. Insert the Torsion Bar completely into the adjustment arm before reinstalling the j 36202 to both the adjustment arm and crossmember. Apply torque force to the adjustment arm while using j 36202 until the Torsion Bar reaches maximum load. Use the same number of turns on the adjuster bolt as when it was removed. Use the j 36202 to measure the z height after removing it from the crossmember. Next, remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle before taking z height measurements.
