Disassembly and Assembly
WARNING: All vehicles are equipped with gas-pressurized shock absorbers which will extend 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.
WARNING: The spring is under extreme compression, care must be taken at all times. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.
CAUTION: The coil spring is coated with long-term corrosion protective paint. Do not damage the paint during component servicing.
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital parts and systems and their failure can result in major
service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement 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.
