FRONT CROSSMEMBER
REMOVAL
CAUTION: If the front suspension crossmember is
being replaced due to collision damage, inspect the
steering column lower coupling for damage. Refer
to STEERING COLUMN in the STEERING section for
the procedure.
(1) Raise the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING in the
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE area in this
service manual for the correct lifting procedure.
(2) Remove both front tire and wheel assemblies
from the vehicle.
(3) Remove both stabilizer bar links from the vehi-
cle (Fig. 17). Remove each link by holding the upper
retainer/nut with a wrench and turning the link bolt.
(4) Remove the stabilizer bar cushion retainer
bolts and retainers (Fig. 17) , and remove the stabi-
lizer bar with cushions attached from the vehicle.
(5) Remove the nut and pinch bolt clamping each
ball joint stud to the steering knuckle (Fig. 18).
CAUTION: After removing the steering knuckle from
the ball joint stud, do not pull outward on the
knuckle. Pulling the steering knuckle outward at
this point can separate the inner C/V joint on the
driveshaft. Refer to FRONT DRIVESHAFTS in the
DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVELINE area for further
information.
NOTE: Use caution when separating the ball joint
stud from the steering knuckle, so the ball joint seal
does not get cut.
(6) Separate each ball joint stud from the steering
knuckle by prying down on lower control arm and up
against the ball joint boss on the steering knuckle
(Fig. 19).

(7) Remove the two screws securing the cooler to
the front suspension crossmember. They are located
behind the cooler and can be accessed from above.
Allow the cooler to hang out of the way.
(8) Using wire or a bungee cord, support and tie
off the power steering gear to the underbody of the
vehicle, so when the crossmember is lowered, the
gear does not fall away, being held to the vehicle by
only the steering column coupling and the fluid
hoses.
(9) Loosen and remove the four bolts attaching the
power steering gear to the front suspension cross-
member (Fig. 20). Remove the power steering gear
from the front suspension crossmember.
(10) Remove the pencil strut from the right front
corner of the crossmember and body of the vehicle.
(Fig. 21). Remove the washer behind the strut from
the torque strut bolt.
