2006 Toyota Highlander Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to service the rear shock absorber with coil spring on 2006 Toyota Highlander?
A: You need to start servicing the rear shock absorber with coil spring by taking off the deck side trim cover LH, the rear wheel and the rear stabilizer link assembly LH then use a jack to support the rear axle carrier. The stabilizer link should be removed from the shock absorber through hexagon wrench (5 mm) usage in case the ball joint rotates because of the nut. The procedure starts by disconnecting the skid control sensor connector followed by removing 2 bolts and detaching the flexible hose and skid control sensor wire from both shock absorber and rear axle carrier. To remove the flexible hose along with speed sensor in 4WD models you must remove three bolts. Begin by leeting but not removing the nuts on the shock absorber's lower section before taking off the three nuts which allows moving the rear axle carrier down to extract the shock absorber with coil spring using its lower side's two nuts and two bolts. Assembling the shock absorber with coil spring requires clamping it to a vise then placing 2 nuts and a bolt onto the bracket before loosening the nut while securing the LH support suspension with a taped-up bar to protect stud bolts from damage. Special Service Tool 09727-30021 (09727-00010, 09727-00021, 09727-00031) enables the compression of the coil spring before tooling out the nut and collar then the LH support suspension and finally the coil spring and spring bumper along with the insulator lower. Check the shock absorber assembly resistance and sound by compressing and extending the rod and replace the component if abnormal findings present. The reassembly process starts with fitting the spring bumper and insulator lower followed by spring compression using the same Special Service Tool to position the coil spring correctly onto the shock absorber with its lower end inserted into the insulator lower. Adjust the LH support suspension along the shock absorber lower bracket until the stud bolt rests 3.5° in front of the vehicle within a 5° margin. Before using the new nut, install the collar to the piston rod and verify the correct direction of the LH support suspension by removing the Special Service Tool. Apply 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.) torque during tightening of the nut while using a bar taped up to hold the LH support suspension. The installation of the rear shock absorber with coil spring requires 3 nuts to be tightened to 58 Nm (590 kgf-cm, 43 ft. lbs.) followed by the installation of 2 bolts and nuts to the shock absorber with coil spring at 180 Nm (1,840 kgf-cm, 133 ft. lbs.) while maintaining the bolts from rotating. The installation of flexible hose and skid control sensor wire requires 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) torque for FF models on Bolt A and 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.) on Bolt B. For 4WD models both components receive their specified torque based on Bolt A at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.) and Bolt B at 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) and Bolt C with 8.0 Nm (82 kgf Complete the assembly of the rear stabilizer link assembly LH to the shock absorber using the nut while torquing to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.) and if the ball joint moves with the nut apply a 5 mm hexagon wrench to stabilize the stud. Reinstall the rear wheel with a proper torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) then conduct aligning of the rear wheel followed by checking the ABS speed sensor signal. When disposing of the shock absorber assembly rear LH individuals must extend the shock absorber rod then poke a hole in the cylinder between points A and B while wearing the required safety equipment because the enclosed gas is colorless, odorless and nonpoisonous.
