5) Install tail end member trim and quarter inner trim.Rear Shock Absorber InspectionS7RS0B2306002
• Inspect for deformation or damage.
• Inspect bushings for wear or damage.
• Inspect for evidence of oil leakage.
Replace any defective parts.
WARNING!
When handling rear shock absorber (1) in
which high-pressure gas is sealed, make
sure to observe the following 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 (approximately 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter)
(2) in it where indicated by arrow in the
figure and let gas and oil out.
Be sure to wear eye shield since the gas
itself is harmless but the absorber drill
hole debris maybe blown out.

Metric Lug Nuts and Wheel Studs
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs.
Metric lug nuts and wheel studs size
M12 x 1.25
If broken stud or nut are found, be sure to replace both
stud and nut with new one.
Irregular and/or Premature Wear DescriptionS7RS0B2401003
Irregular and premature wear has many causes. Some
of them are as follows: incorrect inflation pressures, lack
of tire rotation, driving habits, improper alignment.
If the following conditions are noted, tire rotation is
necessary:
• Front tire wear is different from rear’s.
• Uneven wear exists across tread of any tires.
• Both sides of front tire wears are not even.
• Both sides of rear tire wears are not even.
• There is cupping, flat spotting, etc.
A wheel alignment check is necessary if following
conditions are noted:
• Both sides of front tire wears are not even.
• Wear is uneven across the tread of any front tire.
• Front tire treads have scuffed appearance with “feather” edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks.
Wear Indicators DescriptionS7RS0B2401004
Original equipment tires have built-in tread wear
indicators (1) to show when they need replacement.
These indicators (1) will app ear as 12 mm (0.47 in) wide
bands when the tire tread depth becomes 1.6 mm (0.063
in).
When the indicators (1) appear in 3 or more grooves at 6
locations, tire replacement is recommended.
I2RH01240003-01
[A]: Hard Cornering, under inflation or lack of tire rotation
[B]: Incorrect wheel alignment, tire construction not uniform or wheel heavy acceleration
