9. REMOVE FRONT COIL SPRING LH
(a) Remove the coil spring from the shock absorber.
(b) Remove SST from the coil spring.
10. REMOVE FRONT COIL SPRING INSULATOR LOWER
LH
(a) Remove the insulator lower from the shock
absorber.
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY
LH
(a) Compress and extend the shock absorber rod 4
times or more. Check that there is no abnormal
resistance or unusual sound during the operation.
If there is any abnormality, replace the shock
absorber assembly with a new one.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
(2006/01- )
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE AND GEAR HOUSING
(a) Check the steering wheel free play.
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or
damage.
(1) Check that the tie rod ends do not have
excessive play.
(2) Check that the dust seals and boots are not
damaged.
(3) Check that the boot clamps are not loose.
(4) Check that the steering gear housing is not
damaged.
(5) Check that the connectors are properly
connected to the steering gear housing.
2. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
(1) Jack up the front of the vehicle and place
wooden blocks with a height of 180 to 200 mm
(7.09 to 7.87 in.) under the front tires.
(2) Lower the vehicle until the front coil spring has
about half its ordinary load. Place stands under
the vehicle for safety.
(3) Check that the front wheels are pointing
straight ahead. Use wheel chocks on all 4
wheels.
(4) Using a lever, pry up the end of the lower arm.
Check the amount of play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play:
0 mm (0 in.)
If there is any play, replace the ball joint.
(b) Check the dust cover for damage.
3. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
(a) Check the drive shaft boots for loose clamps,
grease leakage, kinks or damage.
4. INSPECT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
(a) Visually check the transmission for fluid leakage. If
oil is leaking, find the cause and repair it.
5. INSPECT TRANSFER OIL (for 4WD)
(a) Visually check the transfer for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, find the cause and repair it.
6. INSPECT REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL (for 4WD)
(a) For the rear differential oil inspection, refer to the
following procedures (see page DF-3).

BASIC INSPECTION
When a malfunction is not confirmed by the DTC check,
troubleshooting should be carried out in all circuits
considered to be possible causes of the problem. In many
cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the
following flowchart, the location of the problem can be found
quickly and efficiently. Therefore, using this check is essential
when engine troubleshooting.
