DIAGNOSIS
- Raise and support the vehicle.
- Inspect both lower spring seats for deterioration.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
- If not already done, raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the rear wheel.
- Position a floor jack under the lower arm. Raise the floor jack until the suspension begins to compress.
- Remove the flange bolt from the knuckle.
- Lower the floor jack gradually.
- Remove the spring, the spring cushion, and the lower spring seat.
NOTE: During installation, align the bottom of the spring with the stepped part of the lower spring seat and the lower arm as shown.
- Mark the cam positions of the adjusting bolt and the adjusting cam plate with the frame.
- Remove the self-locking nut while holding the adjusting bolt, then remove the adjusting cam plate, the adjusting bolt, and the lower arm.
- Using the new adjusting bolt and self-locking nut, loosely install the new lower arm, the spring mounting cushion, the spring and the new lower spring seat.
- Lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to load it with the vehicle’s weight.
- Align the cam positions of the adjusting bolt and adjusting cam plate with the marked positions. Then torque the nut to 99 N∙m (73 lb-ft).
- Torque the flange bolt to 93 N∙m (69 lb-ft).
- Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc/drum and inside the wheel.
- Reinstall the wheel.
- Repeat steps 2 through 14 on the opposite side if needed.
