INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shock Absorber Assembly
• Check for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.
• Check for oil leakage on welded or gland packing portions.
• Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
Mounting Insulator and Rubber Parts
Check cemented rubber-to-metal portion for separation or cracks. Check rubber parts for deterioration and
replace if necessary.
Coil Spring
• Check for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.
• Check the free spring height.
ASSEMBLY
1. When installing coil spring on shock absorber, the lower end and
upper end must be positioned as shown.
• Shock absorber mounting insulator (1)
• Lower end (2)
• Upper end (3)
•⇐: Flat tail
2. Install upper spring insulator (3) with studs located in line with
lower shock mount and in lower seat step. The lower seat step
(2) in the shock absorber assembly (1) faces outside of vehicle.
•⇐: Front
3. Tighten the piston rod lock nut to specification. Refer to FSU-5,
"Component" .
• Use a new piston rod lock nut for assembly.Front spring free height
2WD : 325.5 ± 3 mm (12.8 ± 0.1 in)

Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000003532642
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove lower shock absorber bolt.
3. Remove stabilizer bar connecting rod lower nut using power tool, then separate connecting rod from lower
link. Refer to FSU-12, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove drive shaft nut, if equipped. Refer to FA X - 7 , "
Removal and Installation".
5. Remove pinch bolt from steering knuckle using power tool, then
separate lower link ball joint from steering knuckle.
6. Remove lower link cam bolts (1) and nuts, then the lower link
(2).
NOTE:
Some vehicles may be equipped with straight (non-adjustable)
lower link bolts and washers. In order to adjust camber and
caster on these vehicles, first replace the lower link bolts and
washers with adjustable (cam) bolts and washers.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Lower Link
Check for deformation and cracks. Replace if necessary.
Lower Link Bushing
Check for distortion and damage. Replace if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten all nuts and bolts to specification. Refer to FSU-5, "
Component".
• When installing wheel and tire, refer to WT-7, "
Rotation".
• After installation, check that the front wheel alignment is within specification. Refer to FSU-6, "
Front Wheel
Alignment".

DescriptionINFOID:0000000003531490
• CONSULT-II is a hand-held type tester. When it is connected with a diagnostic connector equipped on the
vehicle side, it will communicate with the control unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various kinds
of diagnostic tests.
• Refer to “CONSULT-II Software Operation Manual” for more information.
