How to service the rear shock absorber on 2002 Toyota 4Runner?

The first step for servicing the rear shock absorber requires manually lifting the rear axle housing and placing the frame on stands. Simultaneously clamp down a jack to stabilize the rear axle housing. You need to tighten the wheel to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). One should detach the parking brake cable bracket from the rear axle housing while applying a torque of 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). The procedure to remove the rear shock absorber starts with using a torque wrench to remove the bolt and both washers and two bushings at 64 Nm (650 kgf-cm, 47 ft. lbs.) before twisting the shock absorber while holding the nut to detach the three retainers and two cushions and shock absorber at 20 Nm (200 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.). The next step is to disconnect the stabilizer bar brackets and the lateral control rod from the frame followed by carefully lowering the rear axle housing to prevent damage to the brake line while removing the coil spring with correct positioning of the coil spring end during reinstallation. Push the shock absorber to examine smooth and even pulling movement during its stroke while listening for any abnormal resistance or noises; during gas-filled checks compress it completely with subsequent release to evaluate speed consistency; the type will display identifying details etched into its outer shell. When disposing of gas-filled shock absorbers make a hole 2 - 3 mm (0.079 - 0.118 inch) in diameter at the specified spot to vent the gas according to safety procedures while noting that the gas is odorless and colorless and non-toxic. The installation process requires that workers do the opposite steps which removal involved.
