Installation
1. Install front frame body insulator to the front of RH and LH front sub-frame. Install four nuts to each front frame body insulator and tighten to 8-11 N-m (71-97 lb-in).
2. CAUTION: Do not tighten front sub-frame to body bolts at this time as the front sub-frame MUST be aligned to body prior to tightening retainers.
With an assistant, align front sub-frame to body. Install two rear front frame body insulators. Install four front sub-frame-to-body bolts loosely.
3. Install a 19 mm (3/4 inch) outside diameter pipe or similar tool into front LH front sub-frame and body alignment holes. After aligning the holes, slightly tighten the LH front sub-frame to body bolt.
4. Repeat Step 2 on front RH alignment holes.
5. Check front RH alignment holes with tool.
6. After front sub-frame alignment is complete, tighten four front sub-frame-to-body bolts to 77-103 N-m (57-75 lb-ft).
7. Install engine and transmission support insulator to front sub-frame. Tighten through bolts to 88-118 N-m (65-87 lb-ft).
8. Install stabilizer bar link to front stabilizer bar. Tighten retaining nut to 47-63 N-m (35-46 lb-ft).
9. Install two retaining nuts that secure the steering gear to the front sub-frame. Tighten to 113-133 N-m (84-98 lb-ft).
10. Remove wire supporting steering gear from tie rod end to steering gear.
11. Install retaining nuts that secure the front engine support insulators to the front sub-frame. Tighten to 77-103 N-m (57-75 lb-ft).
12. Connect power steering return line mounting bracket at LH rear of sub-frame.
13. Install power steering filter and bracket on inside of LH sub-frame.
14. Connect front suspension lower arms with retaining nuts to ball joints. Tighten retaining nuts to 68-92 N-m (51-67 lb-ft).
15. Install dual converter Y pipe.
16. Install tires and wheels.
17. Lower hoist.
18. Remove Three Bar Engine Support D88L-6000-A or equivalent and engine lifting eyes.
19. Connect battery ground cable.
20. Check front end alignment. Adjust if necessary.
