Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Front Coil Spring
Description
A coil-over front strut assembly supports each front coil spring. The top of the strut assembly mounts to the strut
tower.
Operation
Coil springs are designed to store energy and subsequently release it and to absorb shock and maintain a force
between contacting surfaces. Coil springs are rated for specific vehicle applications.
NOTE :
Each component is serviced by removing the strut assembly from the vehicle and disassembling it. Coil springs are
rated separately for each corner or side of the vehicle depending on optional equipment and type of vehicle service.
If a coil spring requires replacement, be sure that it is replaced with a spring meeting the correct load rating for the
vehicle and its specific options.
Removal & Installation
CAUTION:
At no time when servicing a vehicle can a sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be
installed into the strut tower to take the place of an original plastic clamp. Also, do not drill holes
into the front strut tower for the installation of any metal fasteners into the strut tower area indi-
cated.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front strut assembly (See Front Strut Removal & Installation in Section 10 Suspension).
WARNING!
Do not remove the strut rod nut before the coil spring is properly compressed. The coil spring is held under
pressure. The coil spring must be compressed, removing spring tension from the upper mount and bearing,
before the strut rod nut is removed.
3. Position the strut assembly in the strut coil springcompressor following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and set the lower and upper hooks of the
compressor on the coil spring.
4. Compress the coil spring until all coil spring tension is removed from the upper mount and bearing.
5. Once the spring is sufficiently compressed, install the strut nut wrench on the strut rod nut.
6. Install a deep socket on the end of the strut rod.

Front Strut
Disassemble
NOTE :
The strut assembly must be removed from the vehicle for it to be disassembled and assembled. For the disassembly
and assembly of the strut assembly, use a strut spring compressor, or the equivalent, to compress the coil spring.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.1. Remove the front strut assembly (See Front Strut Removal & Installation in Section 10 Suspension).
2. If both struts are being serviced at the same time, mark both the coil springs and strut assemblies according to which side of the vehicle the strut is being removed from.
WARNING!
Do not remove the strut rod nut before the coil spring is properly compressed. The coil spring is held under
pressure. The coil spring must be compressed, removing spring tension from the upper mount and bearing,
before the strut rod nut is removed.
3. If the spring compressor fixture is unable to attachto a workbench, attach the spring compressor to a
bench vise.
4. Position the strut assembly in the strut coil spring compressor following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and set the lower and upper hooks of the
compressor on the coil spring.
5. Loosen the spring compressor, then attach the clamps between the top and bottom of the spring.

Only frame contact or wheel lift hoisting equipment can be used on this vehicle. It cannot be hoisted using
equipment designed to lift a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting equipment is used, damage to rear
suspension components will occur.
CAUTION:
If a rear suspension component becomes bent, damaged or fails, no attempt should be made to
straighten or repair it. Always replace it with a new component.
Operation
The rear suspension utilizes an independent multi-link arm design. This suspension system allows the wheels to
react to road imperfections independent of each other. This independent action offers improved isolation from the
effects of jounce and rebound.

Tire Repair
Description
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall performance for normal
operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With proper care they will give
excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
WARNING!
Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure.
In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or
higher than those fitted to the vehicle as original equipment. If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehi-
cle’s handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle may be lowered to the maximum speed
capability of the replacement tires. To avoid an accident resulting in severe or fatal injury, consult the tire man-
ufacturer in regards to maximum speed ratings.
Replacement Procedure
Note the following guidelines when replacing a tire:
•It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is needed.
• Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.
• The use of tires smaller than the minimum tire size approved for the vehicle can result in tire overloading and
failure.
• Use tires that have the approved load rating for the vehicle and never overload them.
• Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.
• The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of suspension and
steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.
Perform the following when replacing a tire: 1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheel assembly.
3. Deflate the tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel.
4. Use lubrication such as a mild soap solution when dismounting or mounting tire.
5. Replace the tire with a tire approved for the vehicle.
6. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire or wheel rim.
7. Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.
8. Balance the wheel assembly.
9. Install the wheel assembly and install the wheel mounting nuts. (Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
Repair Procedure
Note the following guidelines when performing a tire repair:
•For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed from the wheel.
• Repairs should only be made if the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area.
• The tire should be replaced if the puncture is located in the sidewall.
Perform the following when repairing a tire: 1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheel assembly.
3. Deflate the tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel.
4. Use lubrication such as a mild soap solution when dismounting or mounting tire.
5. Repair the tire only if the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area.
6. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire or wheel rim.
7. Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.

Steering Wheel
Removal & Installation
WARNING!
Before servicing the steering column, the airbag system must be disarmed. Failure to do so may result in acci-
dental deployment of the airbag and possible personal injury (See Airbag System Disarming Procedure in Sec-
tion 14 Restraints).
NOTE :
To help maintain alignment of the spiral cable connector during reassembly, apply a small piece of tape to the spiral
cable and the steering column to keep them in alignment.1. Set the front wheels to the straight-ahead position.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the driver airbag (See Driver Airbag Removal & Installation in Section 14 Restraints).
4. Disconnect the spiral cable electrical connector.
5. Remove the steering wheel lock nut (1). (Tighten: Steering wheel lock nut to 25 - 30 N·m)
6. Using the steering wheel puller, remove the steer- ing wheel.
7. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE :
This test should be performed during a road test.
•Make smooth turns and sharp turns. Check the driving senseto ensure there is no difference between the left
and right turns in terms of steering force and the steering wheel returning to center.
• When the vehicle speed is between 20 to 30 km/h, turn the steering wheel 90° for 1 or 2 seconds and release
the steering wheel. If the steering wheel returns
over 70°, the steering wheel return function can be
considered good.
NOTE :
When rapidly turning the steering wheel, there will be a sense of “heavy”, however, this does not indicate a problem
with the steering system. This is due to insufficient steering fluid supplied to the steering fluid pump during idle
speed.
