Synergy 8240 - Jeep XJ Rear Spring Hanger Bracket - Manual (Page 3)

This is how the spring hanger should look after the first cuts.
4) Next, remove the inner part of the rear spring hanger by first locating the approximately 12
spot welds holding the inner bracket on (6 on the face of the frame, 4 on the under side of the
frame and 2 on the body to frame rail seam).
a. Drill out the spot welds using at least a 3/8” diameter spot weld cutter being
careful not to drill through the unibody.
b. There is also a seam weld on the rear of the hanger that needs to be cut. A 4.5”
angle grinder with cut-off wheel works well, again try not to cut into the unibody.
Red Arrows indicate spot welds; black arrow indicates the seam weld. All of which need to be
cut to remove the inner part of the spring hanger cleanly.
