Rear Axle Replacement: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
When removing the rear springs, do not use a twin-post type hoist. The swing arch tendency of the rear axle assembly when certain fasteners are removed may cause it to slip from the hoist which may cause personal injury.
NOTE:
Place the vehicle lift pads where they will not obstruct the removal of the rear axle control arm bolts.
