Rear

Caution: Only frame contact or wheel lift hoisting equipment can be used on vehicles having a fully independent rear suspension. Vehicles with independent rear suspension can not be hoisted using equipment designed to lift a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting equipment is used damage to rear suspension components will occur.

Caution: If the vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System, the tire/wheel assembly needs to be reinstalled in the same location it is removed from or the TPM System (sensors) will need to be retrained. Mark each tire/wheel assembly indicating location, prior to its removal. If the tire/wheel assemblies are switched, rotated or replaced, the TPM System needs to be retrained.

Caution: If a rear suspension component becomes bent, damaged or fails, no attempt should be made to straighten or repair it. Always replace with a new component.
