SUSPENSION: REAR SHOCK ABSORBER:

INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY LH
(a) Install the spring bumper.

(b) Install the insulator lower, as shown in the illustration.

(c) Using SST, compress the coil spring.
SST: 09727-30021

NOTE: Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage the SST.

(d) Install the coil spring to the shock absorber.
(1) Fit the lower end of the coil spring into the gap of the lower seat.

(2) Check that the 2 flat faces of the piston rod are positioned in parallel with the 2 flat faces of the LH support suspension.

(e) Align the LH support suspension with the shock absorber lower bracket, as shown in the illustration.

HINT: Set the LH support suspension so that the protruding part of the LH support suspension faces outside.

(f) Install the collar to the piston rod.
(g) Temporarily install a new nut.
(h) Remove the SST.
SST: 09727-30021

HINT: After removing SST, recheck the direction of the LH support suspension.

2. INSTALL REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY

(a) Temporarily install the 3 nuts to the upper side of the rear shock absorber with coil spring.

(b) Fully tighten the 3 nuts in order from 1 to 3.
Torque: 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf)

(d) Fully tighten the nut installed on the top of the shock absorber with coil spring.
Torque: 55 Nm (561 kgf-cm, 41 ft-lbf)

HINT: If the shock absorber has not been disassembled, it is not necessary to torque the nut.

(e) Install the rear suspension support No. 1 cover LH.
3. INSTALL REAR LH FLEXIBLE HOSE

(a) Install the flexible hose and skid control sensor wire with the 2 bolts.
Bolt A - Torque: 19 Nm (195 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf)
Bolt B - Torque: 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf)
4. INSTALL REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Install the stabilizer link to the shock absorber with the nut.
Torque: 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf)

HINT: If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a hexagon wrench (5 mm) to hold the stud.

5. INSTALL REAR WHEEL
Torque: 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf)
6. INSPECT REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
