GENERAL INFORMATION
The rear suspension and powertrain of the vehicle move independently from the vehicle frame. The suspension
includes three multi-leaf springs controlled by two hydraulic shock absorbers mounted between the spring mounting
plate and the frame. On the gasoline vehicle, the engine is mounted on an engine mounting plate that moves with the
suspension. At the front of the mounting plate, a snubber limits the mounting plate motion.
SHOCK ABSORBERS
See General Warnings on page 1-1.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION AND REMOVAL
1. Check shock absorbers (10) for damage or fluid leakage at the point where the shaft enters the shock absorber
body. Replace damaged or leaking shock absorbers
(Figure 9-1, Page 9-1) and (Figure 9-5, Page 9-4) .
2. To remove a shock absorber (10), remove the nut (1), cup washer (4), and rubber bushing (3) from the upper
shock absorber stem.
