Chapter 5 - Rear Suspension

159

ABOUT THIS CHAPTER:

Layout

: There are two main sections of this chapter

1.

The 

first section

 is concerned with 

identifying 

problems

 in the rear suspension.

2.

The 

second section

 covers 

component 

replacement

 methods.

Approach

: How the sections fit together

1.

The first step in troubleshooting the rear suspen-
sion is to check the basics.  The tires should be 
properly inflated, and all of the components 
should be in good condition.  Adjusting worn 
parts is a band-aid solution to a more serious 
problem.

2.

Most operational problems will show-up as align-
ment issues.  Vehicles do not just “go out of 
alignment”.  Most alignment issues are the result 
of identifiable wear or damage to specific com-
ponents.

INSPECTION 

1.

Because the rear suspension is not intended for 
steering purposes, inspection is much simpler 
than it is at the front.  Rear suspension inspec-
tion includes:

•

Tire inflation and condition

•

Ride height

•

Control arm bushing condition

•

Hub bushing condition

•

Wheel bearing condition

•

Anti-sway bar hardware

NOTE: 

In some instances, toe and camber 

angle may be checked on the rear suspension.  
Because they are not adjustable, any variation in 
them is likely to be the result of damaged sus-
pension components.

2.

Rear suspension inspection: Tire inflation       
See Figure 5.1.

•

Check the air pressure in the tires.  They should 
be between 14-22 psi (.97-1.52 bar.), and 
adjusted so that the effective radius is equal 
between all four tires (same distance from hub 
center to ground) in normal operating conditions. 

NOTE: 

An imbalance in air pressure from left to 

right on the rear tires will put undue strain on the 
rear differential when operating on paved sur-
faces.

NOTE: 

An imbalance in air pressure from front 

to rear will effect the lead-lag ratio, placing 
undue strain on the drive system when operating 
in four-wheel-drive mode on paved surfaces.

NOTE: 

If the vehicle is consistently used to carry 

a heavy load in the cargo box, it may be neces-
sary to increase the rear tire air pressure to the 
high end of the range.
