Mercury 8L8Z-5808-B Rear Suspension Arm Assembly

To remove the upper suspension arm, you should first remove the nut from the upper ball stud at the outer end of the arm and then separate the arm from the boss on the trailing arm. If the ball stud sticks, you can use a two-jaw puller or ball joint removal tool. Additionally, remove the pivot bolt from the inner end of the arm.

During installation, align the matchmarks on the toe adjusting cam and the mounting bracket. Before fully tightening the trailing arm pivot bolt, raise the rear end of the trailing arm with a floor jack to simulate normal ride height. Tighten all fasteners to the proper torque specifications.
