Front Strut
Disassemble
NOTE :
The strut assembly must be removed from the vehicle for it to be disassembled and assembled. For the disassembly
and assembly of the strut assembly, use a strut spring compressor, or the equivalent, to compress the coil spring.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.1. Remove the front strut assembly (See Front Strut Removal & Installation in Section 10 Suspension).
2. If both struts are being serviced at the same time, mark both the coil springs and strut assemblies according to which side of the vehicle the strut is being removed from.
WARNING!
Do not remove the strut rod nut before the coil spring is properly compressed. The coil spring is held under
pressure. The coil spring must be compressed, removing spring tension from the upper mount and bearing,
before the strut rod nut is removed.
3. If the spring compressor fixture is unable to attachto a workbench, attach the spring compressor to a
bench vise.
4. Position the strut assembly in the strut coil spring compressor following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and set the lower and upper hooks of the
compressor on the coil spring.
5. Loosen the spring compressor, then attach the clamps between the top and bottom of the spring.
6. Compress the coil spring until all coil spring tension is removed from the upper mount and bearing.
CAUTION:
Never use impact or high speed tools to remove the strut rod nut. Damage to the strut internal
bearings can occur.

8. Install a deep socket on the end of the strut rod. While holding the strut rod, remove the nut using
the strut nut wrench.
(Tighten: Strut rod nut to 100 - 120 N·m)
9. Remove the lower spring isolator from the strut seat.
10. Remove the dust shield and jounce bumper.
11. Remove the upper mounting bracket.
12. Remove the upper spring seat and isolator.
13. Release the tension from the coil spring by backing off the compressor drive completely. Release the compressor hooks and remove the coil spring.
Inspection
Inspect the strut assembly for damage and evidence of fluid running from the upper end of the fluid reservoir (actual
leakage will be a stream of fluid running down the side of the reservoir tube and dripping off lower end of unit).
Inspect the strut assembly components for the following and replace as necessary:
•Inspect the strut (damper) for shaft binding over the
full stroke of the shaft.
• Inspect the jounce bumper for cracks and signs of
deterioration.
• Inspect the dust shield for cracks and tears.
• Check the upper mount for cracks and distortion
and its retaining studs for any sign of damage.
• Check the bearing and upper spring seat for any
binding.
• Inspect the upper and lower spring isolators for
material deterioration and distortion.
• Inspect the coil spring for any sign of damage to
the coating.
Strut Disposal Procedure
NOTE :
Follow the procedure below to properly dispose of the strut assembly.
•Pull the strut rod to extend the strut rod out as far as possible.

Description
The rear suspension consists of the following components:
LTSM10003510–26Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING!
Only frame contact or wheel lift hoisting equipment can be used on this vehicle. It cannot be hoisted using
equipment designed to lift a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting equipment is used, damage to rear
suspension components will occur.
CAUTION:
If a rear suspension component becomes bent, damaged or fails, no attempt should be made to
straighten or repair it. Always replace it with a new component.
Operation
The rear suspension utilizes an independent multi-link arm design. This suspension system allows the wheels to
react to road imperfections independent of each other. This independent action offers improved isolation from the
effects of jounce and rebound.
