GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. If a floor jack is used, the following precautions
are recommended.
Park
vehicle on level ground, "block" front or
rear wheels, set jack against the recommended
lifting points (see "Lifting instructions" in this
section), raise
vehicle and support with chassis
stands and then perform service operations.
2. Before performing service operations, disconnect
ground
cable from the battery to reduce the
chance
of cable damage and burning due to
short circuiting.
3. Use a cover on body, seats and floor to protect
them against damage and contamination.
4. Brake fluid and anti-freeze solution must be
handled with reasonable care, as they can cause
paint damage.
5. The use of proper tools and recommended
essential and available tools, where specified, is
important for efficient and reliable performance
of service repairs.
6. Use genuine lsuzu parts.
7. Used cotter pins, plastic clips, gaskets, 0-rings,
oil seals, lock washers and self-locking nuts
should be discarded and new ones should be
installed, as normal function of the parts cannot
be maintained
if these parts are reused.
8. To facilitate proper and smooth reassembly
operation, keep disassembled parts neatly in
groups. Keeping fixing
bolts and nuts separate
is
very important, as they vary in hardness and
design depending on position
of installation.
9. Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly.
Also clean oil
ports, etc. using compressed air,
and make certain
they are free from restrictions.
10. Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of the parts
with oil or grease before installation.
11. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to pre­
vent leakage.
12. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and
nut torques.
13. When removing or replacing parts that require
refrigerant
to be discharged from the air
conditioning system, be sure
to use the Vehicle
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling Equipment
(VRRRE) to recover and recycle Refrigerant-
134a.
14. When a service operation is completed, make a
final check to be sure the service has been done
properly and the problem has been corrected.

OB-6 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
BRAKE SYSTEMS OPERATION
Watch for the "BRAKE" light coming on. Other
signs of possible brake trouble are such things as
repeated pulling to one side when braking, unusual
sounds
when braking or between brake
applications,
or increased brake pedal travel. If you
note one of these conditions, repair the system at
once.
For convenience, the
following should be done
when wheels are removed for rotation: Inspect lines
and hoses
for proper hookup, bindings, leaks, crack,
chafing etc.
Inspect disc brake pads for wear and
rotors
for surface condition.
Inspect other brake parts, including parking brake
drums, linings etc., at the same time. Check parking
brake adjustment.
Inspect brakes more often if habit or
conditions
result in frequent braking.
PARKING BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION
PARK MECHANISM OPERATION
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with
the parking brake only. This checks holding ability.
On
automatic transmission vehicles, shifting from
"P" position to the other positions cannot be made
unless
the brake pedal is depressed when the key
switch is in
"ON" position or the engine running.
WARNING
•
Before checking starter safety switch
operation below,
be sure to have enough
room around the
vehicle. Then firmly apply
both the parking brake and the regular brake.
Do not
use the accelerator pedal. If the engine
starts, be ready
to turn off the key promptly.
Take these precautions because the vehicle
could move
without warning and possibly
cause personal injury
or property damage.
STARTER SAFETY SWITCH OPERATION
(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
Check by trying to start the engine in each gear
while setting the parking brake and the foot brake.
The starter
should crank only in "P" (Park) or "N"
(Neutral).
STARTER SAFETY SWITCH OPERATION
(MANUAL TRANSMISSION)
To check, place the shift lever in "Neutral", push
the clutch pedal halfway and try to start. The starter
should not crank. The starter should crank only
when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
ACCELERATOR LINKAGE LUBRICATION
Lubricate the accelerator pedal fulcrum pin with
chassis grease.
STEERING AND SUSPENSION
INSPECTION
Inspect front and rear suspension and steering
system
for damaged, loose or missing parts or signs
of wear. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for
proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
BODY AND CHASSIS LUBRICATION
Lubricate the key lock cylinders, the hood latch, the
hood and door hinges, the door check link, the
parking cable guides,
the underbody contact points,
and the linkage.
PROPELLER SHAFT INSPECTION AND
LUBRICATION
Lubricate sliding yoke and universal joints with
grease containing MOS2 (disulfide molybdenum
type grease) at the interval shown in the
Maintenance Schedule. Check for play in normal
direction of rotation of sliding yoke and universal
joints. Also check
propeller shaft flange-to-pinion
bolts for proper torque of 63 N·m (46 lb·ft) for front
and rear propeller shaft.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
INSPECTION
Check the lubricant level every 7,500 miles (12,000
km) and add lubricant
if necessary.
Under harsh operating conditions, such as constant
driving in heavy city traffic during
hot weather, or in
hilly or mountainous terrain, change the transmission
fluid and service the
sump filter after every 20,000
miles (32,000 km) of operation.
AUTO CRUISE CONTROL INSPECTION
Check to see if the clearance between cruise link and
accelerator is normal. Also check that the vacuum
hoses are routed and connected properly.
CLUTCH LINES AND HOSES INSPECTION
Check lines and hoses for proper attachment,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, deterioration, etc.
Any questionable parts should be replaced or
repaired at once. When abrasion or wear is evident
on lines or hoses, the cause must be corrected.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The front suspension is designed to allow each wheel
to compensate for changes in the road surface level
without greatly affecting the opposite wheel. Each
wheel is independently connected to the frame by a
steering
knuckle, ball joint assemblies, and upper and
lower control arms. The front wheels are held in
proper relationship to each other by two outer track
rods
which are connected to steering arms on the
knuckles and to a center track rod.
All models have a front suspension system consisting
of control arms, stabilizer bar, shock absorber and a
torsion bar. The front end of the torsion bar is
attached
to the lower control arm. The rear of the
torsion bar is mounted into a height control arm at the
crossmember. Vehicle trim height is controlled by
adjusting this arm.
Shock absorbers are
mounted between the brackets
on the
frame and the lower control arms. The lower
portion of each shock absorber is attached to the
lower control arm by a bolt and nut. The upper portion
of each shock absorber extends through a frame
bracket and is secured with two rubber bushings,
three retainers and a nut.
Ball joint assemblies are bolted to the outer end of the
upper and lower control arm and are attached to the
steering
knuckle by nuts and cotter pins.
The
inner ends of the upper control arm have pressed
in bushings.
Bolts, passing through the bushing,
attach the control arm to the frame. The inner ends of
the lower control arm are attached to the frame by
bolts passing through the bushings, which are
pressed in the frame.
Side
roll of the front suspension is controlled by a
spring steel stabilizer bar. It is mounted in rubber
bushings, which are held to the crossmember by
brackets. The ends of the stabilizer bar are connected
to the lower control arms by links.

TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN TROUBLE­
SHOOTING
THE SRS SYSTEM, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS
BATTERY-POWERED OR A/C-POWERED VOLT­
METER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN SPE­
CIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A NON­

FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PER­
SONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
This steering
wheel and column repair section covers
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) steering
column. The following repair procedures are specific
to SRS Components. When servicing a vehicle
equipped with Supplemental Restraint System, pay
close attention to all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.
For detailed explanation about SRS, refer to Section
9J "SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)" of
this manual.
The steering column has three important features in
addition to the steering function:
1. The column is energy absorbing, designed to
compress in a front-end collision to minimize the
possibility of injury to the driver of the vehicle.
2. The ignition switch and lock are mounted con­
veniently on the column.
3. With the column mounted lock, the ignition and
steering operation can be
locked to prevent theft
of the vehicle.
The column may be disassembled and reassembled.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important
that the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used only
as designated and that they are tightened to the
specified torque.
When the column is removed from the vehicle, a
sharp
blow on the end of steering shaft or shift lever,
leaning
on the column assembly, or dropping the
assembly could shear or loosen the fasteners that
maintain column rigidity.

THE INFLATOR MODULE SHOULD ALWAYS BE
CARRIED WITH THE URETHANE COVER AWAY
FROM YOUR BODY AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE
LAID ON A FLAT SURFACE WITH THE URE­
THANE SIDE UP. THIS IS NECESSARY BE­
CAUSE A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW
THE AIR CUSHION TO EXPAND IN THE UN­
LIKELYEVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.
OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY
MAY RESULT
(FIG. 3F4-5).

The
Inflator module consists of a cover, air bag,
inflator, and retainer.
Inspect the Inflator module
mainly for the following:
1) Check for holes, cracks, severe blemishes and
deformation on the cover.
2) Check that the retainer is not deformed.
3) Check for defects such as damage and breakage in
the lead
wire ofthe squib.
If an abnormality is found as the result of the in­
spection, replace the
Inflator module with a new one.

\f' CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the
vehicle, the
column is extremely susceptible to
damage. Dropping the column assembly on its
end
could collapse the steering shaft or loosen
the
slide block which maintains column rigidity.
Leaning on the column assembly could cause the
jacket
to bend or deform. Any of the above
damage could
impair the column's collapsible
design. If it is necessary to remove the steering
wheel, use
only the specified steering wheel
puller.
Under no conditions should the end of the
shaft be hammered upon,
as hammering could
loosen
slide block which maintains column
rigidity.
