Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Service and Repair
Front Suspension
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Original equipment shock absorbers serve additionally as suspension drop cutoffs. Replacement shock absorbers must have a built in
suspension cutoff feature and must not be longer than original shocks when they are fully extended or serious vehicle or component damage could
result.
NOTE: Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
Remove or disconnect the following:
1. Nut (92), washer (97), and the bolt (94). Collapse the shock absorber (91).
2. Nut (90), washer (97), and the bolt (96).
3. Shock absorber (91).
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners
that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other
corrosion Inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping
force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions
can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
Install or connect the following:
1. Shock absorber (91) to the bracket.
2. Bolts (94 and 96). Fit the bolts (94 and 96) in the direction.
3. New nuts (90 and 92) and washers (97) to the bolts (94 and 96).
