Cadillac CTS-V Rear Suspension Snubber Installation Manual

Step 1. Jacking & Support of Car
Note: If you are using an automotive lift, parts a & b may be skipped.
a). To raise the front of the car, (depending on the jack you use) you may need to initially raise the car from the side (using the secondary jack) to gain clearance for the hydraulic jack at the front of the car. Once this is done, support the car with the jack stands located on the frames cross member as shown in Figure 1.
b). With the front of the car supported, now raise the rear of the car. This is done with the jack positioned from the side of the car. The jacking point will be the rear axle or differential housing. Once the rear of the car is in the air, supoport it with the other two jack stands, on the car’s subframe as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. You may wish to place a block of wood between the jack stand and subframe to avoid any scatches.
