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).

REAR
1) Check shock absorber (1) for damage, deformation, oil leak-
age and operation.
2) Check bushings for wear and damage.
3) Check coil spring (4), trailing arm (6) and lateral rod (5) for
deformation and damage.
4) Check trailing arm (6) and lateral rod bushings and bump
stopper (2) for wear, damage and deterioration.
5) Check other suspension parts for damage, loose or missing
parts; also for parts showing signs of wear or lack of lubrica-
tion.
Replace any parts found defective in steps 1) to 5).
Propeller Shafts
INSPECTION
1) Check universal joint and spline of propeller shaft for rattle. If
rattle is found, replace defective part with a new one.
2) Check propeller shaft (front & rear) flange yoke bolts for
tightness, and retighten them as necessary.
Refer to “Components” in Section 4B for tightening torque.
LUBRICATION
Grease splines of propeller shaft No.2 (1) and No.3 (2).
“A”: Chassis Grease
3. Spring seat
3. Nipple

9) Remove knuckle seal cover bolts, take off knuckle seal cover
(1), knuckle seal and knuckle seal retainer.
10) Remove upper and lower kingpins (2) from steering knuckle.
11) Remove knuckle with hub assembly from axle housing (for
2WD model) or draw out right and left axle shafts with
knuckle and hub assembly (for 4WD model).
12) Before removing front propeller shaft (1), give match marks
(3) on joint flange (2) and front propeller shaft as shown (for
4WD).
13) Remove front differential from front axle housing (for 4WD).
14) Remove air locking hub vacuum pipe from axle housing (1)
(for 4WD).
15) Support front axle housing by using floor jack.
16) Remove lateral rod, refer to “Lateral Rod” in this section.
17) Remove stabilizer bar, refer to “Stabilizer Bar / Bushings” in
this section.
18) Loosen mounting nuts of leading arm (1) but don’t remove
bolts. NOTE:
The removed upper and lower kingpins (2) must be kept
separated so as to prevent an error when putting them
back in their place in reassembly.
NOTE:
At this time, lower kingpin bearing sometimes falls off.
So remove bearing while pulling off knuckle gradually.
