To remove the front radius arm, start by raising the front of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands. Then, place a jack beneath the outer end of the axle and remove the wheel. Disconnect the lower end of the shock absorber and detach the front stabilizer bar (if equipped) at the link. Remove the coil spring and the lower spring seat from the radius arm. On 2WD models, remove the nut and long bolt securing the front of the radius arm to the axle. On 4WD models, remove the two self-tapping screws that retain the front axle-to-radius arm bracket to the axle tube and then remove the lower bolt and upper stud retaining the radius arm to the axle. Remove the nut, washer, heat shield (if equipped), rubber insulator, and spacer (if equipped) from the rear end of the radius arm. Push the front of the radius arm away from the front axle and withdraw it from the rear support bracket. Finally, remove the front retainer and rubber insulator from the rear of the radius arm and retrieve any shims that may be present. To install the radius arm, reverse the procedure, ensuring that the rubber insulators are in good condition and installed in the correct order. Replace worn insulators if required. Note that on 4WD models, a new stud and bolt are required because of the adhesive coating on the original part. If new fasteners are not available, thoroughly clean the old parts and apply Loctite No. 242 (or equivalent) to the threads of the fasteners. Finally, have the front wheel alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
