The Rear Crossmember should be placed under guidance from a helper who controls the hoist lift. Secure the rear suspension crossmember mounting bolts with tension at 130 nm (96 ft. Lbs.). The alc height sensor harness connector needs to reconnect for all wiring harnesses must be placed on the frame rails followed by connecting the electrical connector to the rear differential clutch pump check valve for associated vehicles with all-wheel drive.
