Ease the rear wheel lug nuts, lift the rear part of the car, and then props it up on jack stands before you remove the wheel. Take out the coil spring and note down the orientation of the adjuster cams on the pivot bolt of the trailing arm bracket. Subsequently, extract the arm-to-body bracket mounting bolt at the trailing end and completely take out the trailing arm from the vehicle, on which might be two rubber washers which would have dropped. For installation, loosen and replace the nut of the pivot bolt, make sure the match marks on the adjuster cam and the body bracket align, lift the trailing arm, raise the floor jack and normal ride height and tighten the trailing arm bolt/nuts to the recommended torque. Perform a brake system bleed, torque check on wheel lug nuts and inspect the alignment of wheels. For the lower control arm, you'll have to take out the stabilizer bar link, differentiate on the adjuster cams, secure the stopper of the trailing arm and, then and only then, pull out the lower control arm-to-subframe and trailing arm pivot bolts/nuts. While installing, change the pivot bolt nuts, lift the trailing arm back to the normal ride level, tighten the control arm bolt/nuts, and perform the alignment check. For the upper control arm, gain access to the trailing arm and detach the ABS wheel speed sensor harness mounting bolt and then the upper control arm-to-subframe and the trailing arm-pivot bolts/nuts. Installing the opposite is done in reverse order with emphasis on raising the trailing arm and tightening the control arm bolt/nuts. For the rear subframe, jack up the car and chock securely, then take out the coil springs, the final section of the back pipe, the rear diff on AWD models and the dampers. Discontinue the upper and lower control arms, the stabilizer bar and pull off the wiring harness from the rear subframe. Position two floor jacks and put one under the rear subrack to lift it up and remove the mounting bolts of the subrack; then lower the rear subrack on the two jacks until it is away from the car system. In the case of installation reverse all those mentioned above removal steps, make sure to tighten all the sub-frame and suspension fasteners with a recommended torque values in addition to the wheel lug nuts. Before attempting to torque the suspension fasteners, bring the trailing arm back up to the normal driving height.
