0A-10 GENERAL INFORMATION
PRECAUTION IN SERVICING FULL-TIME 4WD
VEHICLE
This full-time 4WD vehicle can not be converted to 2WD man-
ually.
Observe the following caution in servicing. Otherwise, front
wheels drive rear wheels or vise-versa and vehicle acci-
dents, drivetrain damage and personal injury may result.
 Never perform any of the following types of service
work.
[A] : Testing with 2-wheel chassis dynamometer, speed-
ometer tester or brake tester.
[B] : Driving front wheels, which are jacked up.
[C] : Towing under the condition where either front or
rear wheels can not rotate.
 When testing with 2-wheel chassis dynamometer,
speedometer tester or brake tester, be sure to make the
vehicle as front wheel drive by removing propeller shaft.
 When using On-vehicle type wheel balancing equipment
(1), be sure to jack up all four wheels, off the ground
completely and support vehicle with safety stands (2).
Be careful of the other wheels, which will rotate at the
same time.
 This vehicle should be towed under one of the following
conditions :
– With all wheels on a flatbed truck.
– With front or rear wheels lifted and a dolly under the
other wheels.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
 Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
 Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

BRAKE DRUMS AND SHOES (REAR)
INSPECTION
1) Remove wheel and brake drum.
2) Check rear brake drums and brake linings for excessive
wear and damage, while wheels and drums are removed. At
the same time, check wheel cylinders for leaks. Replace
these parts as necessary.
For details, refer to “BRAKE DRUM” in Section 5.
BRAKE HOSES AND PIPES
INSPECTION
Perform this inspection where these is enough light and use a
mirror as necessary.
Check brake hoses and pipes for proper hookup, leaks,
cracks, chafing and other damage.
Check that hoses and pipes are clear of sharp edges and
moving parts.
Repair or replace any of these parts as necessary.
BRAKE FLUID
REPLACEMENT
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill system with
specified fluid and carry out air purge operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to “BLEEDING BRAKES” in Sec-
tion 5.
BRAKE LEVER AND CABLE
INSPECTION
1) Inspect brake cable for damage and smooth movement.
Replace cable if it is in deteriorated condition.
CAUTION:
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be sure to carry
out air purge operation.

3-2 STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS AND TIRES
DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
Since the problems in steering, suspension, wheels and tires involve several systems, they must all be consid-
ered when diagnosing a complaint. To avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first. Pro-
ceed with the following preliminary inspection and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for loose or damaged
parts.
3) Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out-of-balance tires, bent rims, loosen and/or rough wheel
bearings.
DIAGNOSIS TABLE

ment.

Tire out of balance Adjust balance or replace tire.
Disturbed front end alignment Check and adjust front end align-
ment.
Faulty strut (shock absorber) Replace strut.

Overloaded vehicle Replace tire.
Not rotating tire Replace or rotate tire.
Worn or loose wheel bearing Replace wheel bearing.
Wobbly wheel or tire Replace wheel or tire.
Tires not adequately inflated Adjust tire pressure.
Wheel Tramp
Blister or bump on tire Replace tire.
Improper strut (shock absorber) action Replace strut.
Shimmy, Shake or
VibrationTire or wheel out of balance Balance wheels or replace tire and/
or wheel.
Loosen wheel bearings Replace wheel bearing.
Worn tie rod ends Replace tie rod end.
Worn lower ball joints Replace front suspension arm.
Excessive wheel runout Repair or replace wheel and/or tire.
Blister or bump on tire Replace tire.

assemblyReplace tire or wheel.
Disturbed front end alignment Check and adjust front end align-
ment.
Loose or worn steering linkage Tighten or replace steering linkage.
Loose steering gear case bolts Tighten case bolts.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS AND TIRES 3-7
RADIAL TIRE LEAD
“Lead” is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight path on a level rod even with no pressure on the steering
wheel.
Lead is usually caused by:
Incorrect alignment.
Uneven brake adjustment.
Tire construction.
The way in which a tire is built can produce lead in a vehicle. An example of this is placement of the belt. Off
center belts on radial tires can cause the tire to develop a side force while rolling straight down the road. If one
side of the tire has a little larger diameter than the other, the tire will tend to roll to one side. This will develop a
side force which can produce vehicle lead.
The procedure in above figure (Lead Diagnosis) should be used to make sure that front alignment is not mis-
taken for tire lead.
Part of the lead diagnosis procedure is different from the proper tire rotation pattern currently in the owner
and service manuals. If a medium to high mileage tire is moved to the other side of the vehicle, be sure to
check that ride roughness has not developed
Rear tires will not cause lead.
VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS
Wheel unbalance causes most of the highway speed vibration problems. If a vibration remains after dynamic
balancing, its possible causes are as follows.
Tire runout.
Wheel runout.
Tire stiffness variation.
Measuring tire and/or wheel free runout will uncover only part of the problem. All three causes, known as loaded
radial runout, must be checked by using a Tire Problem Detector (TPD). If TPD is not available, alternative
method of substituting known-good tire and wheel assemblies on the problem vehicle can be used, although it
takes a longer time.
[A] : Tire out of round 1. Smooth road
[B] : Tire stiffness variation 2. Suspension movement (loaded runout)
[C] : Rim bent or out of round
