Caution

•  Performing the following procedures could cause an open circuit in the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor wiring harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before servicing, disconnect the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor and set it aside so that the wiring harness will not be pulled by mistake.

Note

•  Even when replacing only one of the left or right rear coil springs, to assure a space for the rear coil spring, remove the rear shock absorber lower side bolts on both the left and right sides so that the rear side of the torsion beam axle can be lowered.

1.  Remove the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor from the wheel hub component.
