Here’s a closer look at the left-hand side looking rear-
ward showing the halfshaft, also called the axle by
GForce Performance Engineering. The halfshaft splines into the
transaxle and can be popped loose with a large common screw-
driver or pry bar.


04


The lower control arms are adjusted via one eccentric
on each side. Do not loosen or disconnect the lower
control arms here because you will alter the alignment.


06


The shaft locknut is removed here at
the hub, which will free up the halfshaft.

03


The upper control arm is disconnected here at the
frame to allow some freedom of movement of the brake
assembly. Once you swing the brake assembly to the side,
access to the halfshaft is easy.

05


The tie-rod ends are disconnected
here at the lower control arms.

07


Support the hub and lower control arm as shown, which
enables you to disconnect the coilover shock and riser.
With the upper control arm disconnected it becomes easier to
swing the brake out of the way. Also remember to disconnect
the antilock brake sensor and parking brake cable. Be very care-
ful with the antilock brake sensor and connector.
