Part #’s KM009, KM010, KM011

INSTALLATION:

2. Using a 18mm deep socket, loosen both outer tie rod ends. Knock both tie rods loose from the spindles.

3. Remove the power steering line retainer located in the center of the rack.

This requires a 8mm wrench. See Image1.

4. Using a 18mm socket, remove both rack mounting bolts. Mark a line on

the steering shaft at the front connection point to insure proper re-assembly
location. Remove the front steering shaft bolt using a 13mm socket or
wrench (See Image 2). Leave both power steering lines attached but move
the rack out of the way to gain access to the front A-arm bolts.

5. Remove all 4 rear A-arm bolts using a 21mm deep socket. Using a 18mm

socket, remove both front A-arm bolts.

6. Loosen and remove the A-arms’ ball joint cross-bolts using a 15mm wrench and a 18mm socket. Knock or pry

the ball joint loose from the spindle. NOTE: It is not possible to remove the A-arms until the K-member is
