NOTE:
All suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any front suspension part. Replace it with a new part, or
damage to the part may result.

3E-4 REAR SUSPENSION
DIAGNOSIS
REAR SHOCK ABSORBER CHECK
Inspect for deformation or damage.
Inspect bushings for wear or damage.
Inspect for evidence of oil leakage.
Replace any defective part.
TRAILING ARM, LATERAL ROD, REAR AXLE,
PEAR AXLE HOUSING AND COIL SPRING
CHECK
Inspect for cracks, deformation or damage.
Inspect bushing for damage, wear or breakage.
Replace any defective part.WARNING:
When handling rear shock absorber (1) in which high-
pressure gas is sealed, make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions.
Don’t disassemble it.
Don’t put it into the fire.
Don’t store it where it gets hot.
Before disposing it, be sure to drill a hole (approxi-
mately 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter) (2) in it where shown
by an arrow in figure and let gas and oil out.
Lay it down sideways for this work. The gas itself is
harmless but it may issue out of the hole together with
chips generated by the drill. Therefore, be sure to wear
goggle.
