Set the upper insulator on top of the spring, using tape if necessary to hold it in place. Place the spring between its seat on the axle tube and the frame seat, ensuring that the pigtail (lower end of the spring) points toward the left side of the vehicle.

Loosen the wheel lug nuts. Raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Remove the wheels. On 1988 through 1991 models, disconnect the stabilizer bar from the link. Remove the shock absorber. Disconnect the center link from the Pitman arm. Use a suitable spring compressor, following the manufacturer's instructions, to relieve tension on the spring. Compress the spring. Remove the nuts and bolts securing the inner end of the lower control arm to the frame. Slowly lower the control arm. Remove the spring and compressor as a unit. Note the installation of the upper insulator between the upper end of the spring and the frame. If the spring is to be replaced, slowly loosen the spring compressor tool until all tension is removed, then remove the tool.
