REAR COIL SPRING INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL REAR LOWER COIL SPRING INSULATOR


    1. Install the rear lower coil spring insulator to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

  2. INSTALL REAR UPPER COIL SPRING INSULATOR


    1. Install the rear upper coil spring insulator to the rear coil spring.

  3. INSTALL REAR COIL SPRING


    1. B002CZ8C03
      *a Identification Mark
      B002DP3 Upper Side

      Install SST to the rear coil spring with the identification marks on the rear coil spring positioned as shown in illustration.

      SST
      09727-00120
      09727-30022   ( 09727-00010, 09727-00031 )

      CAUTION:


      • B002DMP

        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.

      • A01XQHT

        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.

      • B002E31

        Make sure that the hooks of the upper and lower arms are attached to the coil spring so that the distance between the hooks is as large as possible.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

    2. B002EDRC01
      *a Stopper Plate

      Install the stopper plates to the hooks of SST.

      CAUTION:


      • Do not perform the work if the stopper plates is not securely installed.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

    3. Using SST, compress the rear coil spring.

      CAUTION:


      • B002E4X

        If the coil spring bends while using SST, stop immediately and reattach SST correctly.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

      • B002F0G

        Do not compress the coil spring to the point where the coils touch each other.

      • It could cause the hook to slip off and the spring to fly out, which could result in an injury.

      • B002EMQ

        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.

    4. B002CO3C03
      *a Identification Mark
      *b 45° or less

      Temporarily install the rear coil spring with SST and rear upper coil spring insulator to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

      Note


      • Make sure to install the rear coil spring with the identification mark facing downward.

      • Install the rear coil spring so that the identification mark is positioned as shown in the illustration.

      • If SST contacts the vehicle body, adjust the installation position of SST so that it does not contact the vehicle body.

    5. Using a transmission jack and wooden block, slowly jack up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly and then temporarily install the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle assembly with the bolt and nut.

      CAUTION:


      • B002EYR

        Do not raise the jack up too high.

      • The vehicle could fall, resulting in a serious accident.

      Note


      • Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

      • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.

      • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

      Tech Tips

      Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle.

    6. Remove SST from the rear coil spring.

      Note

      Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.

    7. B002E5HC03
      *1 Rear Upper Coil Spring Insulator
      *2 Rear Lower Coil Spring Insulator

      Check that the rear upper coil spring insulator and rear lower coil spring insulator are installed as shown in the illustration.

  4. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY


    1. Temporarily install the rear shock absorber assembly to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly with the bolt and nut.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

      Tech Tips

      Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle.

  6. TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY


    1. Temporarily install the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly to the rear axle assembly with the bolt and nut.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

      Tech Tips

      Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle.
