Rear

The rear shock absorber assemblies support the weight of the vehicle using coil springs positioned around the shock absorbers. The coil springs are contained between the upper mount of the shock absorber and a lower spring seat on the body of the shock absorber.

The top of each shock absorber assembly is bolted to the top of the inner fender through a rubber isolated mount. Access for the removal of the nuts attaching the shock absorber mount to the inner fender is from the interior of the vehicle, through the convertible top storage well.

The bottom of the shock absorber assembly attaches to the rear knuckle using a thru-bolt. The shock absorber is isolated from the rear knuckle by a rubber bushing which is pressed into the knuckle.
