  4. Measure the tension link clearance as follows:
    • Measure the distance (1) from tension link (2) to body weld flange (3) directly in front of it, just outboard of front mount bushing (4). This distance must be at least 12 mm to allow proper clearance for suspension movement.  If distance is less than 12 mm, shift that side of rear crossmember directly rearward until distance is 12 mm or greater. To adjust, loosen three crossmember mounting bolts slightly, leaving one on opposite side of shift snugged to pivot from. Shift the crossmember rearward and snug the loosened bolts. Measure opposite side to be sure it has maintained a minimum 12 mm distance.
  5. Tighten the crossmember bolts to the proper torque specifications. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
