REAR SHOCK ABSORBER AND COIL SPRING REMOVAMNSTALLATION
Note
• During routine inspection, varying degrees of oil wetness may be noticed on the rear shock absorber. If
there is a thin oily film or sheen on the top of the shock absorber near the piston, it may be a normal
condition, with no ride or handling performance concerns. If this is the case, do not replace the shock
absorber. A heavy oil film along with droplets of oil below the lower spring seat is considered an abnormal
condition. The shock absorber should be replaced if this condition is detected.
1. Remove the rear package trim. (Refer to 09-17 REAR PACKAGE TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
3. Install in the reverse order of removal.
