Disassembly and Assembly
WARNING: All vehicles are equipped with gas-pressurized shock absorbers which will 1xtend unassisted. Do not apply heat or flame to the
shock absorbers during removal or component servicing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in
major service expense. A new part with the same part number or an equivalent part must be installed, if installation is necessary. Do not use a part of
lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.
1. Remove the shock absorber and spring assembly.
