Removal Procedure
Notice: The front shock absorbers of the vehicle are multifunctional. In addition to contributing to a smooth ride they also provide the only stop to the
front suspension when fully extended. Therefore, when servicing the shock absorber, service replacement shock absorbers must be equivalent to original
shock absorbers in both extended length and strength. Use of shocks not complying to original equipment or strength could result in suspension
over-travel or shock breakage. Suspension over-travel may result in suspension component breakage.
1. Remove the absorber/spring assembly upper mounting nuts.
