 you have to jack and suport the rear frame ( not the axle) of the car to the point where it unloads the springs then remove the four rear bolts and install the proper shackels and bushings. you want to raise it untill you see a VERY slight rise in the rear tires. not enough to pick them off the ground just where they bearly move up.:cool:
