      Note


      • Be careful not to damage the speed sensor.

      • Prevent foreign matter from adhering to the speed sensor.

  4. REMOVE LOAD SENSING VALVE SENSOR BRACKET


    1. Remove the bolt and bracket from the toe control link.

  5. REMOVE REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY LH

    A01H0EB

    1. Remove the nut and disconnect the stabilizer link from the stabilizer bar.

    2. A01GZFR

      Remove the bolt, nut and stabilizer link from the rear No. 2 suspension arm.

  6. DISCONNECT PNEUMATIC CYLINDER WITH REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY LH

    A01H0LT

    1. Remove the nut and disconnect the pneumatic cylinder from the axle side.

  7. REMOVE REAR NO. 2 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH

    A01GYOME01

    1. Using a plastic-faced hammer or equivalent, strike the part labeled A from the rear of the vehicle to maintain the clearance at the slide pin area.

      Note

      Be careful not to damage the arm.

    2. A01GX4B

      Remove the nut, washer, bolt and No. 2 suspension arm from the axle carrier.

    3. A01GZN7

  8. REMOVE REAR NO. 1 SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Remove the nut on the rear axle carrier side.

    2. Install 2 spacers (SST spacer B) onto the rear No. 1 suspension arm so that there is a space of approximately 1 mm (0.0394 in.) between the arm and spacers.

      Note


      • Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer B) as the axle carrier spacer may shift.

      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not less than 1 mm (0.0394 in.).

    3. Using SST, disconnect the rear No. 1 suspension arm from the axle carrier.

      Note


      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.

      • Do not damage the dust cover.

      • As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and claw are parallel.

      • Make sure to tie the string of SST to the vehicle to prevent SST from dropping.

    4. A01GWT0E01

      Remove the bolt, nut and No. 1 suspension arm from the suspension member.
