REAR SUSPENSION (FWD) COMPONENTS





Rear Shock Absorber

REMOVAL OF REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
1. REMOVE TONNEAU COVER HOLDER (Wagon)





2. (DRUM BRAKE TYPE)
REMOVE BRAKE HOSE FROM SHOCK ABSORBER
(a) Using SST, disconnect the backing plate. SST 09751-36011





(b) Using SST, remove the brake tube from the brake hose. SST 09751-36011
(c) Remove the clip and remove the brake hose from the shock absorber.





3. (DISC BRAKE TYPE) DISCONNECT BRAKE HOSE FROM SHOCK ABSORBER
(a) Remove the union bolt and two gaskets and disconnect the brake hose from the brake cylinder. Use a container to catch the brake fluid.
(b) Remove the clip from the shock absorber.
(c) Disconnect the brake hose from the shock absorber.





4. DISCONNECT SHOCK ABSORBER FROM AXLE CARRIER
Remove the axle carrier mounting bolts and the nut and disconnect the shock absorber.

HINT: Before removing the axle carrier mounting bolt, support the axle carrier with a jack.





5. REMOVE SHOCK ABSORBER
With holding the shock absorber, remove the three mounting nuts, and shock absorber from the body.





6. REMOVE COIL SPRING
(a) Mount the shock absorber with a bolt and two nuts as shown in the image in a vise.





(b) Using SST, compress the coil spring. SST 09727-22032 or 09727-30020





(c) Remove the cover from the suspension support.
(d) Using SST, hold the suspension support and remove the lock nut. SST 09729-22031
(e) Remove the suspension support, coil spring, upper insulator, bumper and lower insulator.





7. INSPECT OPERATION OF SHOCK ABSORBER
(a) While pushing the piston rod, check that the pull throughout the stroke is even, and there is no abnormal resistance or noise.
(b) Push the piston rod in fully and release it. Check that it returns at a constant speed throughout.





B. DISCARD SHOCK ABSORBER
Before discarding the absorber, drill a hole 2-3 mm (0.079-0.11 8 in.) in diameter at the location shown in the image to release the gas inside.

NOTICE:
- When drilling, chips may fly out, so work carefully.
- The gas is colorless, odorless. and non-poisonous.








INSTALLATION OF REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
1. INSTALL SPRING BUMPER. INSULATOR, COIL SPRING. AND SUSPENSION SUPPORT
(a) Mount the shock absorber in a vise.
(b) Using SST, compress the coil spring. SST 09727-22032 or 09727-30020
(c) Install the-lower insulator to the shock absorber.
(d) Align the coil spring end with the lower seat hollow and install the coil spring.
(e) Install the spring bumper to the shock absorber piston rod.
(f) Install the upper insulator.
(g) Align the suspension support with the piston rod and install it.
(h) Align the suspension support.





(i) Using SST, hold the suspension support and install and torque a new lock nut.
Torque: 500 kg-cm (36 ft-lb, 49N.m)





2. INSTALL SHOCK ABSORBER TO BODY
Install the shock absorber to the body and torque the three nuts.
Torque: 400 kg-cm (29 ft-lb, 39 N.m)





3. CONNECT AXLE CARRIER TO SHOCK ABSORBER
Connect the axle carrier to the shock absorber with the two bolts and torque the two nuts.
Torque: 2,300kg-cm (166 ft-lb, 226 N.m)





4. (DISC BRAKE TYPE)
CONNECT BRAKE HOSE
(a) Run the brake hose through the brake hose bracket of the shock absorber and install the clip.
(b) Connect the brake hose to the brake cylinder with the union bolt and new two gaskets.
Torque: 310 kg-cm (22 ft-lb, 30 N.m)

HINT: When connecting the flexible hose to the cylinder, connect so the peg aligns with the hole.








5. (DRUM BRAKE TYPE)
INSTALL BRAKE HOSE AND TUBE
(a) Temporarily connect the brake tube to the backing plate.
(b) Temporarily connect the brake tube to the brake hose.
(c) Install the clip.
(d) Using SST, torque the two brake tube union nuts. SST 09751-36011
Torque: 155 kg-cm (11 ft-lb, 15 Nm)





6. INSTALL TONNEAU COVER HOLDER (Wagon)

7. BLEED BRAKE LINE

8. CHECK WHEEL ALIGNMENT
