REAR SUSPENSION MEMBER
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

When raising the rear suspension member assembly, use the
locating pins to align the rear suspension member to the vehicle
body.

When installing the upper and lower rubber seats for the rear
coil springs, the arrow embossed on the rubber seats must point
out toward the wheel and tire assembly.

To connect the rear load leveling air suspension hoses, the lock
ring must be fully seated in the fitting. Insert the hose “B” into the
lock ring “A” until the lock ring “A” is touching the hose “B” as
shown. Pull on the hose to check that it is securely inserted.

Perform the final tightening of the nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition
(unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification, and
the spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.

Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-48, "Wheel Alignment" .

Check the ball joint. Replace the suspension arm assembly if
any of the following conditions exist:
–Ball stud is worn.
–Joint is hard to swing.
–Play in axial direction is excessive.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten the nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-26, "Components" .

HEIGHT SENSOR
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
1. Start the engine.
2. Use CONSULT-II to perform "STANDARD HEIGHT LEVEL" work support function.
3. Using data monitor of CONSULT-II, verify "HEIGT CALC" is at 0 mm.
4. Check the vehicle height. Refer to RSU-49, "
Wheelarch Height (Unladen*1 )" . If vehicle height is not
within ± 10 mm (0 ± 0.39 in) of the specification, perform the initialization procedure. Refer to RSU-47,
"Initialization Procedure" .

How to Handle BatteryEKS00B78
CAUTION:

If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt
booster battery.

After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact.

Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGE
The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharging
a battery.

The battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.

The terminal connections should be clean and tight.

At every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as “low maintenance”
and “maintenance-free ”.

When the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Check the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep a
close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touch-
ing a battery, do not touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. If acid con-
tacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
