Remove the axle halfshaft locknut and swing the brake
away, which makes room to remove the old halfshaft.17
With the halfshaft free at the brake
end, use a large common screw-
driver or a pry bar to pop the inner CV
joint from the transaxle.

The CV shaft locknut is installed
hand tight. We will make the
rounds with a torque wrench and make
sure all the fasteners have been tight-
ened to GForce specifications.
18
Swing the brake toward the front
of the vehicle in order to insert the
GForce Renegade axle into the transaxle.
You’re going to have to push hard on the
halfshaft until you feel it pop into the
transaxle. Do not move ahead until you
are positive the halfshaft is seated.21
Next, reconnect and tighten
the stabilizer bar endlink.19
With the brake well out of the way,
the splined output shaft is inserted
into the hub.22
The lower shock mount is next,
tightened to 107 ft-lb.15
The left side comes apart the same way as the right, begin-
ning with supporting the lower control arm as shown, dis-
connecting the upper control arm from the chassis and even at
the ball joint to make access easier. Next, disconnect the stabi-
lizer link and tie-rod end. Do not change the tie-rod end adjust-
ment. Detach the shock’s bottom mount.
