WARNING: Unrestricted movement of
pressurised air spring will result in failure
of the assembly, causing component
damage and possible personal injury. It is
possible to remove the shock absorber without
depressurising air springs, BUT the distance
between axle and chassis must be held as if
damper assembly is fitted. This is achieved by
supporting vehicle on safety stands with a jack
under the axle.
1. Raise the vehicle.
WARNING: Support on safety stands.
2. Support axle on jack.
3. Remove road wheel.
WARNING: Do not lower axle when shock
absorber is removed. This may result air
spring failure.
