TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Replacing a shock absorber
When replacing a shock absorber, fit it in a vice
and compress the spring using the spring
compressor tool.
Remove the spring retaining nut.
Remove the spring and the intermediate parts.
If necessary, replace the shock absorber pad and
the rotating stop.
When refitting, ensure all components are
replaced in the correct location and then
decompress the spring.
NOTE : apply grease between the ends of the
spring and its stops.
REFITTING
Refitting is then the reverse of removal. Observe
the correct tightening torques.

Wheel bolt 9
Shock absorber base bolt 8.5
REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
Fit the pedal press.
Remove:
- the two lower shock absorber mountings,
- the brake pipes,
- the compensator control,
- the central heat shield,
- the handbrake cables, disconnecting them
from the central control,
Unclip the cables from the fuel tank.
Support the rear axle assembly and remove the
nuts ( 1 ).
Remove the rear axle assembly.
NOTE : the bolts can be reached under the rear
bench seat (depending on version) after
removing the blanking covers.
REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Bleed the brake circuit.
Adjust the handbrake (see section 37).
Check and if necessary adjust the braking
compensator ( see section 37 ).

REAR AXLE
Shock absorber
REMOVAL
With the vehicle on its wheels, remove the lower
mounting bolt (1).
Lift the vehicle and remove:
- the wheel,
- the upper mounting bolt (2),
- the shock absorber.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE FITTING
Shock absorbers are stored horizontally in the
Parts Stores.
Under these conditions it is possible that the shock
absorbers, which are designed to operate in a ver-
tical direction, will have de-primed.
Before fitting the shock absorbers to the vehicle
compress them a few times by hand in the vertical
position.
REFITTING
Fit:
- the shock absorber,
- the upper mounting bolt coated with
MOLYKOTE BR2, without tightening it,
- the wheel.
Lower the vehicle.
Position the lower mounting bolt coated with
MOLYKOTE BR2.
Torque tighten both bolts.

REAR AXLE
Half suspension arms, tubular rear axle
REFITTING
Ensure the bearing races or the needle bearings
are in perfect condition, otherwise replace them
(see section "Bushes, tubular rear axle").
The needle bearings are greased for life and do
not require further lubrication.
NOTE : new suspension arms are supplied by the
Parts Department fitted with bearing races or
needle bearings (depending on side).
Fit the two half suspension arms together until
dimension (B) is obtained.
NOTE : dimension (B) corresponds to the distance
between the same two mounting points for the
anti-roll bar on the suspension arms. It is therefore
possible to obtain this dimension by positioning
the anti-roll bar in its location and checking the
mounting bolts can be correctly positioned.
Ensure the fitting direction is observed.
Refitting is then the reverse of removal.
NOTE : if the half suspension arm is renewed,
bond the brake backing plate mounting bolts
with
Loctite FRENBLOC.
Bleed the brake circuit.
Adjust the handbrake control (see section 37).

TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
Bearing mounting nut 11
Anti-roll bar mounting bolt 5.5
Wheel bolt 9
Shock absorber base bolt 8.5
REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a two post lift, remove:
- the anti-roll bar,
- the lower shock absorber mounting,
- the secondary handbrake cable, disconnecting
at the central adjuster under the vehicle,
- the brake pipe,
- the two bearing mounting nuts (A).
Slacken the two nuts (A) on the other bearing so
the half suspension arm can be released from its
mountings.
Remove the half suspension arm, separating one
from the other.

REAR AXLE
Suspension bars, tubular rear axle
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Emb. 880 Inertia extractor
TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
Upper shock absorber mounting bolt 11.5
Lower shock absorber mounting bolt 8.5
REMOVAL
With the vehicle raised so its wheels hang free, re-
move the shock absorber on the side in question.
Remove the bar from the side, using tool
Emb. 880.
REFITTING
In order to position the suspension arm so that the
bar may be correctly positioned, a tool must be
locally made.
ANut, diameter 14 mm
BNut, diameter 12 mm
CThreaded rod, diameter 12 mm - length 660
mm
DBracket from flat sheet 30 x 5 mm
E 12 x 60 mm bolt, cut to a length of 20 mm
FWeld

75505R
Preset the tool to obtain dimension "X".
X = 402 mm
Fit the tool in place of the shock absorber.
88637R2
Coat the splines of the bar with MOLYKOTE BR2,
fit it into the bearing and the suspension arm, and
try, by rotating the rod, to find the position where
it fits freely into the splines of the suspension arm
and the bearing.
Remove the tool and refit the shock absorber.
Return the vehicle to its wheels and measure the
underbody heights (see section "Underbody
heights - Tubular rear axle").
Check and adjust if necessary:
- the braking compensator,
- the headlights.

REAR AXLE
Four bar rear axle
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Emb. 880 Inertia extractor
TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
Upper shock absorber mounting 8.5
Lower shock absorber mounting 11.5
Wheel bolts 9
REMOVAL
Remove:
- the wheels,
- the shock absorbers,
- the suspension bar plugs.
Remove using tool Emb. 880 :
- the two suspension bars,
- the two anti-roll bars, retaining the central
shackle.
Clean and lubricate the bar splines using
MOLYKOTE BR2.
REFITTING
The anti-roll bars cannot be removed from the
vehicle when the shock absorber replacement tool
is in position. Because of this, and to make it
easier to refit the shackle, a wooden block must
be made according to the diagram below.
Fit:
- the shackle on the block (locally made) in the
centre of the rear axle assembly,
