Hi All,

             New to me Truck.  I was removing the Edge Transmission Temp sensor Wire when crawling out I noticed that the top bolt in the 4 link #4 in Illustration was backed out, right hand side.  Aside from screwing back in with Locktitie is there a way to unload the link so I don't Screw it up?  I assume (That word.) that Jack it up and support the frame and then just unscrew locktite it and back in she goes?

You've got it... Jack up the frame and let the axle hang free. You might have to adjust the axle height with a floor jack a bit to align the bolt again. I've done control arm replacements but typically I do it one control arm at a time.
