>>B<< REAR SUSPENSION COIL SPRING
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the bolt
of special tool spring compressor body
(MB991237). It will break the special tool.
1. Use following special tools to compress the coil
spring, and install the rear suspension coil spring
to the spring lower pad.
•MB991237: Spring Compressor Body
•MB991239: Arm Set
2. The rear suspension coil spring lower end must
be positioned as illustrated.
>>C<< REAR SUSPENSION SPRING
UPPER PAD INSTALLATION
Align the stepped section of the spring upper pad
with the upper end of the coil spring, and install the
spring upper pad.
>>D<< REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
INSULATOR INSTALLATION
Install the rear shock absorber insulator so that the
axis of the lower bushing inner pipe of the shock
absorber and the line between the rear shock
absorber insulator mounting bolts are straight when
looking from above.
>>E<< REAR SUSPENSION COIL SPRING
NUT (SELF-LOCKING NUT)
INSTALLATION
1. Temporarily tighten the rear suspension coil
spring nut (self-locking nut).
CAUTION
Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the rear
suspension coil spring nut (self-locking nut),
otherwise the piston rod locking nut inside the
shock absorber will be damaged.
2. Remove the special tools (MB991237,
MB991239), and then tighten the rear suspension
coil spring nut (self-locking nut) to 25 ± 5 N⋅m.
