SHOCK ABSORBERPFP:56210
Removal and Installation EES001HJ
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool. Refer to WT-7, "Rotation" .
2. Use CONSULT-II “EXHAUST SOLENOID ” active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level-
ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector, front.
4. Disconnect the rear load leveling air suspension hose from the shock absorber.

To disconnect the hose, push in on the lock ring using a suit-
able tool and pull the air hose out.
5. Remove the shock absorber upper and lower end bolts using power tool.
6. Remove the shock absorber.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the rubber boot on the shock absorber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Tighten the shock absorber bolts to specification. Refer to RSU-26, "Components" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check the shock absorber for any air leaks or damage to the rubber boot.

Check the shock absorber for smooth operation through a full stroke, both compression and extension.

Check piston rod for cracks, deformation or other damage and replace if necessary.

FRONT LOWER LINKPFP:55110
Removal and InstallationEES001HL
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool.
2. Use CONSULT-II "EXHAUST SOLENOID" active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level-
ing air suspension system.
3. Remove the shock absorber lower end bolt.
4. Remove the adjusting bolt and nut, and the bolt and nut, from the front lower link and rear suspension member using power
tool.
5. Remove the front lower link pinch bolt and nut on the knuckle side using power tool.
6. Disconnect the front lower link from the knuckle using a soft hammer.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the ball joint with the soft hammer.
7. Remove the front lower link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check the front lower link and bushing for any deformation, crack, or damage. Replace if necessary.

Check the rubber bushing for damage, cracks and deformation. Replace the front lower link and bushing if
necessary.

Before checking, turn the ball joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball joint is properly broken in.

Check the ball joint. Replace the front lower link if any of the fol-
lowing conditions exist:
–Ball stud is worn.
–Joint is hard to swing.
–Play in axial direction is excessive.

REAR LOWER LINK & COIL SPRINGPFP:551B0
Removal and Installation EES001HM
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly using power tool. Refer to WT-7, "Rotation" .
2. Use CONSULT-II "EXHAUST SOLENOID" active test to release the air pressure from the rear load level- ing air suspension system.
3. For removing the LH rear lower link and coil spring, remove the height sensor arm bracket bolt from the LH rear lower link.
4. Set a suitable jack to relieve the coil spring tension from the rear lower link.
WARNING:
Do not compress the coil spring when setting the jack.
5. Loosen the rear lower link adjusting bolt and nut connected to the rear suspension member, using power tool.
6. Remove the rear lower link bolt and nut from the knuckle using power tool.
7. Slowly lower the suitable jack to release the coil spring tension. Then remove the upper rubber seat, coil spring, and lower rubber seat from the rear lower link.

Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56
For Side and Rollover CollisionEHS001N4
Check the SRS components using the following table.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to check that no malfunction is detected. Refer to
SRS-20, "
SRS Operation Check" .
WHEN SRS IS ACTIVATED IN THE SIDE OR ROLLOVER COLLISION
1. Replace the following components:
–Front seat back assembly (on the side on which side air bag is activated)
–Diagnosis sensor unit
–(LH or RH) side air bag (satellite) sensor (on the side on which side air bag is activated)
2. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the following table.
–Replace any SRS components and the related parts showing visible signs of damage (dents, cracks,
deformation).
3. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II and “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Opera-
tion Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
WHEN SRS IS NOT ACTIVATED IN THE SIDE OR ROLLOVER COLLISION
1. Check the SRS components and the related parts using the following table.
–If the front seat back assembly is damaged, the front seat back assembly must be replaced.
2. Conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II and “AIR BAG” warning lamp. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Opera-
tion Check" for details. Ensure entire SRS operates properly.
Steering wheel 1. Visually check steering wheel for deformities.
2. Check harness (built into steering wheel) and connectors for damage, and terminals for deformities.
3. Install driver air bag module into the steering wheel to check fit and alignment with the wheel.
