Lanos S Hatchback L4-1.6L DOHC D-TEC MFI (1999)
Suspension Spring ( Coil / Leaf ): Service and Repair
Removal Procedure
WARNING: When removing the rear springs, do not use a twin-post type hoist. The tendency of the rear axle assembly to swing when
certain fasteners are removed may cause it to slip from the hoist. This may result in personal injury. Perform the operation on the floor if
necessary.
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Use a frame contact hoist if possible and support the rear control arms with jack stands. If it becomes
necessary to lift the vehicle with a twin-post hoist, lift the body and support the control arms with jack stands.
2. Remove the wheel.
3. Remove the right and the left shock absorber bolts. See: Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber
4. Lower the rear axle and remove the springs and the top insulator.
Installation Procedure
Important: Prior to installing the springs, it will be necessary to install the upper insulators to the body with adhesive to keep them in position while
raising the axle assembly and the springs.
1. Install the upper insulator and seat the lower bumper.
