How do you remove and inspect a coil spring and shock absorber on 2001 Toyota 4Runner?

The coil spring should be removed while maintaining the rear axle housing in position with a jack and supporting the frame with stands. The first step involves removing the wheel by tightening it to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). A 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque should be used to detach the parking brake cable bracket from the rear axle housing. You should disconnect the rear shock absorber by first applying 64 Nm (650 kgf-cm, 47 ft. lbs.) torque to remove the bolt and two washers and two bushings along with turning the shock absorber and holding the nut to pull out the three retainers and two cushions and the shock absorber with a torque of 20 Nm (200 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.). Unfasten the stabilizer bar brackets while also separating the lateral control rod from the frame structure. Lower the rear axle housing while avoiding the brake line and take out the coil spring by ensuring correct positioning of the coil spring end. During inspection the shock absorber operation should be verified by pushing it while monitoring for smooth stroke pull with no unusual resistance or noise. Fully compress gas-filled shock absorbers to check the constant speed return after release; these types include engraved informational markings on the shell surface. Drilling a 2 - 3 mm (0.079 - 0.118 inch) hole at the correct location on a gas-filled shock absorber permits the gas release while chip debris should be handled carefully since the gas is colorless, odorless and contains no poisonous substances. Shock absorber installation follows the exact opposite steps of the removal process.

2001 Toyota 4Runner Parts Questions & Experts Answers

Q: How do you remove and inspect a coil spring and shock absorber on 2001 Toyota 4Runner?
A: The coil spring should be removed while maintaining the rear axle housing in position with a jack and supporting the frame with stands. The first step involves removing the wheel by tightening it to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). A 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque should be used to detach the parking brake cable bracket from the rear axle housing. You should disconnect the rear shock absorber by first applying 64 Nm (650 kgf-cm, 47 ft. lbs.) torque to remove the bolt and two washers and two bushings along with turning the shock absorber and holding the nut to pull out the three retainers and two cushions and the shock absorber with a torque of 20 Nm (200 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.). Unfasten the stabilizer bar brackets while also separating the lateral control rod from the frame structure. Lower the rear axle housing while avoiding the brake line and take out the coil spring by ensuring correct positioning of the coil spring end. During inspection the shock absorber operation should be verified by pushing it while monitoring for smooth stroke pull with no unusual resistance or noise. Fully compress gas-filled shock absorbers to check the constant speed return after release; these types include engraved informational markings on the shell surface. Drilling a 2 - 3 mm (0.079 - 0.118 inch) hole at the correct location on a gas-filled shock absorber permits the gas release while chip debris should be handled carefully since the gas is colorless, odorless and contains no poisonous substances. Shock absorber installation follows the exact opposite steps of the removal process.
