Installation [10/2017 - 10/2020]: Procedure
- INSTALL REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY LH
- Install the rear lower coil spring insulator LH to the rear shock absorber assembly LH.
*a Depression - Secure SST in a vise.
- SST: 09727-30022
- Attach the hooks of each SST arm across the diameter of the coil spring.WARNING:
*a Rear Coil Spring Diameter Do not perform the work without checking to make sure that the claws of the hooks are securely engaged.
- It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.
Do not install SST to the rear coil spring unless its top and bottom hook distance is set to the widest condition.
- It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.
Do not install SST when the distances between the SST arms or the number of coils of the coil spring between the hooks are not the same.
- It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.
- Install the stopper pins to the hooks of SST.
- Using SST, compress the coil spring.WARNING:
While compressing the spring, if the front coil spring starts to bend into a bow shape, do not continue the work.
- It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.
Do not compress the springs so far that the coils of the springs touch each other.
- It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.
Do not use an impact wrench.
- The threads may be stripped, or the sudden compression may result in slack that causes the hooks to slip off, causing the spring to fly out and possibly resulting in injury.
If a stopper pin touches the coil spring while using SST, remove the stopper pin and continue with the procedure.
- If a stopper pin is removed, install SST as shown in the illustration.
- If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
- SST: 09727-00110
- Install the rear coil spring LH to the rear shock absorber assembly LH.NOTE:
Make sure that the end of the rear coil spring is positioned in the depression of the rear lower coil spring insulator LH.
*a Depression - Install the rear No. 1 spring bumper LH to the rear support assembly suspension LH.
- Install the rear upper coil spring insulator LH to the rear support assembly suspension LH as shown in the illustration.
- Install the rear support assembly suspension LH to the rear shock absorber assembly LH.NOTE:
Match the shape of the rear shock absorber assembly support ring end to the shape of the rear support assembly suspension LH.
- Turn the rear support assembly suspension LH 120° or more to engage the end of the rear upper coil spring insulator LH to the rear shock absorber assembly LH claws.NOTE:
- Make sure that the end of the rear upper coil spring insulator LH is engaged securely to the 3 rear shock absorber assembly LH claws.
- Be careful not to deform the bellows of the rear upper coil spring insulator LH.
- Keep the rear upper coil spring insulator LH free of oil and grease.
*a Rear Shock Absorber Assembly LH Claw *b End of Rear Upper Coil Spring Insulator LH - Temporarily tighten a new lock nut.
- Adjust the rear support assembly suspension LH so that the bolts come to the positions as shown in the illustration, and remove SST from the rear coil spring.
*A for LH Side *B for RH Side *a Rear Shock Absorber Assembly LH Bushing Large-diameter Side *b Rear Shock Absorber Assembly LH Bushing Small-diameter Side *c Front Suspension Support Assembly LH Stud Bolt *d 0°+/-2° Front of the Vehicle Outside of the Vehicle NOTE:- Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.
- Make sure that the width across flat on the rear shock absorber piston rod end is located parallel to the rear shock absorber bushing.
- Make sure of the direction of the rear suspension support assembly when removing SST.
- Install the rear lower coil spring insulator LH to the rear shock absorber assembly LH.
- TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN REAR SHOCK ABSORBER WITH COIL SPRING
- CONNECT SKID CONTROL SENSOR WIRE LH
- TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY LH
- STABILIZE SUSPENSION
See step 5
- TIGHTEN REAR SHOCK ABSORBER WITH COIL SPRING
- Fully tighten the nut.
Torque: 110 N.m (1122 kgf/cm, 81 ft.lbf)
- Fully tighten the 2 nuts A.
Torque: 40 N.m (408 kgf/cm, 30 ft.lbf)
*a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length HINT:
If the nut is hard to see, use a mirror.
- Using SST, fully tighten the nut B.
- SST: 09249-37010
Specified tightening torque
Torque: 40 N.m (408 kgf/cm, 30 ft.lbf)
HINT:
- Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
Refer to PRECAUTION [10/2017 - 09/2019] , or refer to PRECAUTION [09/2019 - 10/2020]
- When using SST (fulcrum length of 100 mm (3.937 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.087 in.)): 25.7 N.m (262 kgf/cm, 19 ft.lbf)
- If the nut is hard to see, use a mirror.
- Fully tighten the lock nut.
Torque: 27.5 N.m (280 kgf/cm, 20 ft.lbf)
NOTE:Perform this step only when the rear shock absorber with coil spring has been disassembled.
- Fully tighten the nut.
