In order to install the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system # TDVR05096, the first thing you will need to do is lower the rear control arm.

In order to lower the rear control arm to remove the coil spring, remove the inner control arm bolt by loosening the outer bolt and allow a jack to slowly lower the control arm to release tension on the spring. See the diagram I included.

Another way to lower the control arm is to remove the wheel, and the outer control arm bolt from the knuckle, and slowly lower the arm to remove the spring. See the diagram.

Take a look at the installation video for a 2009 Kia Sedona and a informative article about Timbren enhancement systems.
