3. Remove the wheel speed sensor and the brake hose

Remove the wheel speed sensor's mounting bolts with a M10

sleeve to take off the wheel speed sensor. Remove the front

brake hose's mounting bolts with a M18 sleeve, and then

take off the brake hose.

Caution: When removing the brake hose, brake fluid

may flow out, catch the fluid with a container. Also,

because the brake fluid is corrosive, please pay

attention to personal protection.

4. Remove the cotter pins and lock nuts of the steering tie

rod and the lower swing arm

Because the ball stud and steering knuckle act in conjunction

with the tapered bore, they can not yet be removed after re-

moving the nuts. Pound the steering knuckle arm (unfinished

surface) with a hammer. Positions are shown on the left.

Shake to loosen.

Caution:

1. To avoid separating the ball studs, do not pound the

tie rod and the lower swing arm with a hammer.

2. To avoid damaging the thread, do not hammer the

ball stud's head.

Suspension System

Front shock absorber with coil spring assembly (Image)

Front shock absorber with coil spring assem-
bly removal and installation

1. Hoist up the vehicle so that the front suspension is in a

free suspension state.

2. Remove the wheel speed sensor and the brake hose.

Remove the wheels and take out the brake hose from the

shock absorber bracket. Then remove the wheel speed sensor

wire harness (shown on the left) from the steering knuckle.

3. Remove the coupling bolt between the front shock

absorber and steering knuckle and the brake hub

assembly.

Tightening torque: 132±10 N·m

4. Loosen the mounting nuts of the front shock absorber

and remove the front shock absorber with coil spring

assembly (shown on the left).

Tightening torque: 40±5 N·m

5. Installation of the front shock absorber with coil spring

assembly.

Installation follows the reverse order of removal, but

please pay attention to the areas of importance below:

(a) The Insertion direction of the bolts should be consistent

with direction shown in the image. Insertion order is

from up to down. After inserting, tighten them one by

one as required.

Front shock absorber with coil spring assem-
bly disassembly and installation

1. Compression spring

Use SST to grasp the spring, separated by adhesive tape

at the contact area. Alternately rotate the bolts on the SST

until there is no tension on the spring seat from the spring.

The front coil spring rotating means that the spring has been

compressed (shown on the left).

2. Disassemble the front shock absorber with coil spring

assembly

Remove the dust cover of the front shock absorber. Remove

the nuts on top using a ratchet wrench and M21 sleeve. Re-

move the erection support on the front shock absorber col-

umn, support bearing, the front coil spring's erection support,

front coil spring, dust cover, and the bumper in turn.

Tightening torque: 40

-

60 N·m

3. Retracting spring

Alternately reversing, rotate the bolts on the SST until all the

spring tension is released, then remove the tool.

4. Change any component that needs to be replaced

5. Installation of the front shock absorber with coil spring

assembly

Installation is in the reverse order of disassembly,

please pay attention to items below:

(a) Use SST to compact the spring.

(b) Steps for the installation of each component of the

front shock absorber with coil spring assembly is the

opposite of the steps for its disassembly.

(c) Pull up the strut piston rod as hard as possible and

make sure not to let it draw back into the strut.

(b) All of the fastening pieces must be tightened to the

required torque, and comply to the standard gluing re-

quirements in this chapter.

Subframe removal and installation

1. Remove the engine's rear suspension bolts, coupling

bolts between steering propeller shaft and column,

and the steering fuel hose. Disconnect the connection

between the steering knuckle, swing arm, and steering

tie rod. For detailed steps, please refer to the removal

of the engine, steering system, and the steering

knuckle assembly.

2. Remove the strut bar.

Screw off the subframe strut bar mounting bolts Q1401020

(M10×1.25) FD with a sleeve, and remove the strut bar. As

shown on the left: There are four bolts, two on the left and

two on the right.

Tightening torque: 49±5 N·m

Caution: When removing the steering fuel hose, power

steering fluid may flow out, so collect the fluid in a

container.

3. Remove subframe.

Remove the subframe's front mounting bolt Q1861275TF2

(M12×1.25) + Q402 (d2=32) FD with a M18 sleeve (needs

a extension bar). Remove the subframe's rear mounting bolt

Q1861455TF2 (M14×1.5) + Q402 (d2=32 t=5) FD with the

same tool. (shown on the left).

Caution: Lift the subframe when removing to avoid

operator injury due to it falling off.

4. Remove the front stabilizer bar, steering gear, and

lower swing arm. For detailed steps, please refer to the

removal and installation of the stabilizer bar, steering

gear, and lower swing arm.
