Q: How to replace the rear leaf spring bushing on GMC Jimmy?
A: The vehicle needs to be lifted and properly supported before replacing shackle bushings. When working on 2-door utilities first remove the Fuel Tank together with the evap canister. In case of required spare tire removal on pickups and 4-door utility models the mechanic should disconnect the rear exhaust hangers to achieve better exhaust system accessibility. First support the rear axle before taking out the spring shackle to frame mounting bolt and its associated nut. Keep the Leaf Spring with its attached lower spring shackle mounting bolt. Drop the axle to a suitable height which enables access to remove the spring shackle bushings. While removing the Fuel Tank use a blunt punch to straighten the bushing flange then replace both spring shackle bushings. Use control arm bushing service kit (J 21474-01) to remove spring shackle bushing before repeating this same process on the other bushing. The control arm bushing service kit (J 21474-01) enables installation of new spring shackle bushings by placing the bushing flange directly against the frame rail before using the stake tool on the inner flange. First position the axle in place and fasten the spring shackle to the frame through bolt and nut without tightening. After installing the second bushing insert the axle support to achieve a 164 - 176 mm (6.46 - 6.94 inches) gap between axle tube and bumper bracket metal surface. Tighten the rear spring shackle nuts to 122 nm (89 ft. Lbs.)you must first remove the rear axle support then possibly lift the exhaust system to install rear exhaust hangers. After lowering the car down install the spare tire followed by reinstalling both the evap canister for two-door utilities and the Fuel Tank.
