Typical steps to replace the equalizer bar damper on the axle are as follows:

2
00:00:05,458 --> 00:00:16,042
1. Remove the four bolts, nuts, and washers attaching the equalizer bar damper to the equalizer bar damper support bracket and the truck frame.

3
00:00:16,042 --> 00:00:20,667
2. Remove and discard the equalizer bar damper.

4
00:00:20,667 --> 00:00:23,583
3. Install a new damper.

5
00:00:23,583 --> 00:00:29,750
<b>Note: </b>Refer to the applicable Parts Bulletin for the recommended replacement part number.

6
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:36,083
<b>Note: </b>Mating surfaces and threads of dampers must be clean and free of any oil.

7
00:00:36,083 --> 00:00:49,833
4. Orient the damper correctly by ensuring that the larger diameter upper body of the damper is toward the equalizer bar damper support bracket and the smaller diameter lower body is toward the truck frame casting.

8
00:00:49,833 --> 00:00:56,125
5. Ensure that “BELOW” is stamped on the bottom side of the lowest end of the damper.

9
00:00:56,125 --> 00:01:05,750
<b>Note: </b>If “BELOW” is at the 12 o’clock or the top position, unbolt the small end of the damper and rotate the end by 180°.

10
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:10,000
If it is in any other position, remove and replace the damper.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:32,000
6. Reinstall the four bolts, nuts, and washers connecting the equalizer bar damper to the damper support bracket and the truck frame damper mounting block, then torque the mounting bolts to 755 ± 40 lb.-ft. (1022 ± 55 Nm).
