WARNING:
When hoisting vehicle, be sure to select the lifting point suitable for the service work referring to Sec-
tion 0A.
NOTE:
All front suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance
of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any front suspension part. Replace it with a new part or
damage to the part may result.

between each circuit and body ground) with 4WD controller con-
nector connected and ignition switch turned START (engine run).
* : With engine runningCAUTION:
Disable air bag system (if equipped with Air Bag), refer
to “Disabling Air Bag System” in Section 10B.

Shock Absorber and/or Coil Spring Check
1) Inspect shock absorber for oil leakage. If shock absorber is
found faulty, replace it as an assembly unit, because it can
not be disassembled.
2) Shock absorber function check
Check and adjust tire pressures as specified.
Bounce body three or four times continuously by pushing
front end on the side with shock absorber to be checked.
Apply the same amount of force at each push and note
shock absorber resistance both when pushed and rebound-
ing.
Also, note how many times vehicle body rebounds before
coming to stop after hands are off. Do the same for shock
absorber on the other side.
Compare shock absorber resistance and number of rebound
on the right with those on the left.
And they must be equal in both. With proper shock absorber,
body should come to stop the moment hands are off or after
only one or two small rebounds. If shock absorbers are sus-
pected, compare them with known good vehicle or shock
absorber.
3) Inspect for damage or deformation.
4) Inspect for cracks or deformation in spring seat.
5) Inspect for deterioration of bump stopper.
6) Inspect shock absorber mount for wear, cracks or deforma-
tion.Replace any parts found defective in steps 2) – 6).
Leading Arm / Lateral Rod / Steering Knuckle
Check
Inspect for cracks, deformation or damage.
