Remove
1. Jack up rear of vehicle. Then place stands under the rear body jacking points.
2. Remove wheels.
3. Support axle housing (lightly) under centre with a floor jack
4. Disconnect shock absorbers at lower mounting points
5. Remove the bolt securing the lateral rod to the body and bolt securing the lateral rod to the axle, remove lateral rod.
6. Lower Jack slightly to release tension on springs and remove the coil springs
Install is reverse steps but tighten the shock absorber nuts and lateral rods to spec AFTER lowering the car. (shock absorber nut 45Nm, Lateral rod bolts 110Nm)
