REPAIR PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the right rear damper. Refer to page 18-32 of the 2003-04 Pilot Service Manual.
2.
Install a new damper assembly. Tighten the flange bolt and nut only finger-tight.
3.
Lower the vehicle to the ground. Tighten the bolt and nut to 64 Nm (47 lb-ft).
NOTE:
Do not tighten the damper mounts while the vehicle is on the lift. Tightening the mounts while the vehicle is raised would cause a harsher ride
and cause the damper to wear out faster.
4.
Return the vehicle to the customer. Aligning the wheels is not necessary for this repair.
