SHOCK ABSORBER REPLACEMENT

Removal Procedure

1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .

2. Support the rear axle at ride height.

NOTE:

The front shock absorbers of the vehicle are multifunctional. In
addition to contributing to a smooth ride they also provide the only
stop to the front suspension when fully extended. Therefore, when
servicing the shock absorber, service replacement shock absorbers
must be equivalent to original shock absorbers in both extended
length and strength. Use of shocks not complying to original
equipment or strength could result in suspension over-travel or
shock breakage. Suspension over-travel may result in suspension
component breakage.
