NOTE: Before removing the front suspension crossmember from the vehicle, the location of the crossmem-
ber must be marked on the body of the vehicle. Do this so the crossmember can be relocated, upon rein-
stallation, against the body of vehicle in the same location as before removal. If the front suspension
crossmember is not reinstalled in exactly the same location as before removal, the preset front wheel align-
ment settings (caster and camber) may be lost.
18. Mark the location of the front crossmember on the body near each mounting bolt using a marker or crayon. Do
not use a scratch awl or other tool that can penetrate the protective coating on the body.
