2000 Toyota RAV4 Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to Service and Repair a Shock Absorber on 2000 Toyota RAV4?
A: The service and repair operations should start with front wheel removal where you need to tighten the nut to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Disconnect the flexible hose and ABS speed sensor wire harness from the shock absorber following bolt removal where you should tighten the flexible hose bolts to 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) and the ABS wire harness bolts to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.). You must apply a torque of 158 Nm (1,610 kgf-cm, 117 ft. lbs.) when disconnecting the shock absorber from the steering knuckle. When reinstallation is needed, apply engine oil to the threads of the nut. The shock absorber with its coil spring can be removed after detaching the 3 nuts and suspension support No.2 while using a torque of 80 Nm (820 kgf-cm, 59 ft. lbs.). Use a vise to hold the shock absorber when disassembling through its lower bracket with two nuts and a bolt while using Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 to compress the coil spring while protecting it with vinyl tape. The shock absorber must be handled without touching the spring lower seat while you should avoid using impact wrenches for this work. Utilize Special Service Tool: 09729-22031 to grip the spring upper seat while using it to remove the nut. The shock absorber separation process requires removing its suspension support, dust seal and spring upper seat in addition to the upper insulator and coil spring followed by spring bumper and lower insulator. The shock absorber must undergo inspection by checking for abnormal resistance or unusual sounds while compressing and extending the rod until a determination can be made about replacement. Before discarding the shock absorber rod you must drill a hole into its cylinder to remove pressure while taking care about flying chips. The shock absorber installation begins by inserting the lower insulator onto the piston rod followed by attaching the spring bumper to it. The coil spring need to be compressed using Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 while vinyl tape covers it and then needs to be placed into the shock absorber's lower spring seat. Position the spring upper seat tab correctly against upper insulator tabs before installing it with the arrow pointed outwards followed by the dust seal and suspension support. Apply tool 09729-22031 to stabilize the spring upper seat before torquing the new nut to a 47 Nm force using a torque wrench. After removing the tool, add MP grease to the suspension support and put on the cap. The process ends with installation steps that follow the opposite sequence of removal while wheel alignment testing is needed after installation.
