Jeep 68034672AA Suspension Spring

Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands placed underneath the frame rails. Support the axle with a floor jack placed under the center of the axle housing. Remove the lower mounting bolt from each rear shock absorber. Slowly lower the axle until the coil springs are fully extended. Pull the axle down and tilt it to release the coil springs. When the rear axle housing is pulled down sufficiently, the spring can be removed. Check the springs for deep nicks and corrosion, which could cause premature failure of the spring. Replace the springs as a set if these or any other questionable conditions are evident. Also check the spring isolators for damage, replacing them as necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the shock absorber lower mounting bolts/nuts to the torque.
