INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL PNEUMATIC REAR LH W/SHOCK ABSORBER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY






(a) Coat a new O-ring with MP grease, and install it to the pneumatic shock absorber.
- For disconnection and connection of the O-ring and tube, Service Precautions.
- When replacing pneumatic cylinder assembly, it is un-necessary to replace the O-ring with a new one.





(b) Install the pneumatic shock absorber and 3 nuts.
Torque: 58 Nm (590 kgf-cm, 43 ft-lbf)
(c) Install the pneumatic shock absorber, 2 bolts and nuts.









(1) Be sure to confirm the size of bolt before tightening the bolts.
*1 - Torque: 180 Nm (1,840 kgf-cm, 133 ft-lbf)
*2 - Torque: 290 Nm (2,960 kgf-cm, 214 ft-lbf)
NOTE: When installing the nut, keep the bolt from rotating.





(d) 2WD models:
Install the flexible hose and skid control sensor wire with the 2 bolts. Connect the skid control sensor connector.
Bolt A - Torque: 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf)
Bolt B - Torque: 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf)






(e) 4WD models:
Install the flexible hose and speed sensor with the 3 bolts.
Bolt A - Torque: 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf)
Bolt B - Torque: 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf)
Bolt C - Torque: 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf)
(f) Connect the height control tube No. 7 and connector No. 2 to the pneumatic shock absorber.
2. INSTALL HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY REAR LH
(a) Install the height control sensor sub-assembly rear LH with the nut.
Torque: 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)
3. INSTALL REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY LH






(a) Install the stabilizer link to the pneumatic shock absorber with the nut.
Torque: 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf)
HINT: If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a hexagon wrench (5 mm) to hold the stud.

4. INSTALL REAR WHEEL
