Removal
WARNING: All vehicles are equipped with gas-pressurized shock absorbers which will extend unassisted. Do not apply heat or flame to the
shock absorbers during removal or component servicing.

major service expense. They must be replaced with the same part number or an equivalent part if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement
part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during re-assembly to ensure proper retention of these parts.
