Apply about 5 g (0.18 oz) molybdenum grease to the contact area (A) of the outboard joint and the front wheel bearing.

NOTE: The grease helps to prevent noise and vibration.

Install a new set ring (A) onto the set ring groove (B) of the driveshaft inboard joint.

Insert the inboard end (A) of the driveshaft into the differential (B) until the set ring (C) locks in the groove (D).

NOTE: Insert the driveshaft horizontally to prevent damaging the oil seal.

Install the outboard joint (A) into the front hub (B) on the knuckle.

Wipe off any grease contamination from the ball joint tapered section and threads, then install the knuckle (A) onto the lower arm (B). Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot. Wipe off the grease before tightening the nut at the ball joint. Torque the new castle nut (C) to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the ball joint pin hole.

NOTE:

Install the lock pin (D) into the ball joint pin hole.

Install the stabilizer link (A) to the stabilizer (B).

Apply a small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the new spindle nut (A).

Install the spindle nut, then tighten it. After tightening, use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder (B) against the driveshaft.

Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the wheel, then install the front wheels.

Turn the front wheel by hand, and make sure there is no interference between the driveshaft and surrounding parts.

Refill the transmission with the recommended transmission fluid:

Lower the vehicle on the lift.

Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.

Test-drive the vehicle.
