lWhen installing rubber parts, final tightening must be carried out under unladen condition* with
tires on ground.
*Fuel, radiator coolant, and engine oil are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their
designated positions. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil imme-
diately.
lLock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled,
do not apply any additional lubrication.

CAUTION:
When installing the components with rubber bushings, the final tightening of the nuts and bolts must
be done with the vehicle in an unladen condition (the fuel, engine coolant, and engine oil full; the
spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in their designated positions) with the tires on the ground.
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEES002JH
lCheck the rear suspension parts for any excessive play, cracks, wear, and other damage.
lShake each rear wheel to check for any excessive play as
shown.
lTighten all of the nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
When installing the components with rubber bushings, the
final tightening of the nuts and bolts must be done with the
vehicle in an unladen condition (the fuel, engine coolant,
and engine oil full; the spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats
in their designated positions) with the tires on the ground.
lCheck the shock absorbers for oil leaks, deformation, and other
damage.
lCheck the shock absorber bushings for excessive wear and
other damage.

REMOVAL
1. Support the rear final drive assembly with a suitable jack to relieve the tension from the rear leaf spring.
lThe axle weight should be supported, but there should be no compression in the rear leaf spring.
2. Remove the shock absorber lower nut and bolt.
3. Remove the four rear spring clip U-bolt nuts, then remove the
rear spring pad.
4. Remove the rear spring shackle and bushings.
5. Remove the rear leaf spring front nut and bolt.
6. Remove the rear leaf spring.

8. Tighten the rear spring shackle nuts, rear leaf spring front nut,
and shock absorber nuts to specification.
lWhen installing the components with rubber bushings, the
final nut tightening must be carried out under unladen* condi-
tions with the tires on level ground.

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start wheel balancer again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
imbalance values are 5g (0.18 oz) each or below.
lIf either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable imbalance):
RotationEES002L4
lFollow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer toMA-7, "GENERAL MAINTE-
NANCE".
lDo not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
