a. Park vehicle onlevel surface andsetparking brake.
b. Start engine andmove selector leverthrough eachgear

c. Check fluidlevel withengine idling.
d. Remove dipstickandnote reading. Iflevel isat low side of
either range, addfluid tothe charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstickintocharging pipeasfar asitwill go.

Removal andInstallation
CAUTION:
• Before removing therear suspension assembly,disconnect
the ABS wheel sensor fromtheassembly. Failuretodo so
may result indamage tothe sensor wiresandthesensor
becoming inoperative.

• Remove suspension assembly.
1. Disconnect brakehydraulic linesandparking brakecableat
toggle lever.(Models withdrum brakes.)
• Drain brake fluidbefore disconnecting brakelines.
2. Disconnect parkingbrakecablefromcaliper andremove
brake caliper androtor. (Models withdiscbrakes.)

Suspend caliperassembly withwire soasnot tostretch brake
hose.
Be careful nottodepress brakepedal, orpiston willpop out.
Make surebrake hoseisnot twisted.

3. Using atransmission jack,raise torsion beamalittle, and
remove nutsandbolts fromthetrailing arm,shock absorber
assembly (lowerside)andlateral link.
4. Lower transmission jack,andremove suspension.
5. Remove luggagecompartment trim.Refer toBT section.
6. Remove strutsecuring nuts(upper side).Thenpulloutstrut
assembly.
• Install suspension assembly.

CAUTION: Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT

Never reusedrained brakefluid.

1. Attach torsion beam,attrailing armandlateral link,tovehi-
cle. Donot tighten boltsatthis time.
2. Using atransmission jack,place lateral linkand control rod
horizontally againsttorsionbeam.Tighten laterallinkon

3. Attach shockabsorber assembly tovehicle. Thentighten the
lower sideofshock absorber assembly.
4. Lower torsion beamtofully extended position.Remove
transmission jackandtighten torsion beam,attrailing arm,
to specified torque.RefertoRA-8.
5. Install brakehydraulic linesandtighten flarenuts.
