To install the rear axle assembly, raise it to approximate ride height before tightening the through-bolts (if removed for bushing replacement).

For installation, reverse the removal steps, starting by installing the lower bracket bolt closest to the drivebelt end of the engine, but do not tighten it. Install the other two bolts and then tighten the intermediate shaft bracket bolts, beginning with the upper bolt, to their torque specifications. Finally, install the driveaxle.

Start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels and disconnect the brake pipes from the hoses at the trailing arms, plugging the fittings to prevent dirt or fluid loss. If applicable, disconnect the ABS electrical connectors at the rear axle. Release the ends of the parking brake cables from the rear brakes and remove the coil springs. Support the rear axle with floor jacks and remove the mounting bolts securing the axle bushing brackets to the body. Carefully lower the rear axle assembly to the floor and inspect the trailing arm pivot bushings.

To remove the intermediate shaft, first remove the right-side driveaxle, then take out the intermediate shaft bracket bolts and the wheel speed sensor before pulling the intermediate shaft out of the transaxle. If necessary, replace the oil seal.
