Mopar 5272715AD Trailing Arm Link

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheels. If you're working on an all-wheel drive model, have an assistant apply the brakes while you remove the driveaxle/hub nut. Remove the bolts that hold the brake hose to the trailing link and the bolt that holds the parking brake cable near the forward end of the trailing arm. Remove the brake line from the clip on the trailing link. Also remove the wheel speed sensor wire from the clips on the trailing arm. If your vehicle is equipped with rear disc brakes, remove the caliper and mounting bracket as an assembly. Hang it out of the way using wire, zip-ties, or equivalent. Do not allow the caliper to hang or over-extend the brake line; this can lead to brake failure. Remove the speed sensor routing screws and clips that attach it to the trailing link. If equipped with rear drum brakes, detach the parking brake cable from the parking brake lever on the trailing brake shoe. Remove the hairpin fastening the parking brake cable to the backing plate. Slide the parking brake cable out of the backing plate. Unbolt the toe link from the trailing link. Remove the bolts securing the trailing link to the upper and lower control arms. Remove the two bolts that attach the trailing link to the vehicle frame. Remove the trailing link. On all-wheel drive models, guide the driveaxle out of the hub, being careful not to pull out on the inner CV joint. Install the body side of the trailing link first and tighten the bolts. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal. Tighten the control arm-to-trailing link bolt/nuts and the toe link bolt/nut. If you're working on an AWD model, tighten the driveaxle/hub nut. Install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts.
