Remove the air cleaner extension if necessary, and disconnect the brake hose bracket and ABS wheel speed sensor from the upper control arm. Disconnect the upper balljoint from the steering knuckle. On 2WD models, remove the pivot shaft nuts, bolts, and shims, noting their location. On 4WD models, mark the positions of the adjuster cams to the frame.
