2008 Toyota Matrix Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to install the rear shock absorber assembly LH on 2008 Toyota Matrix?
A: Begin installing the rear shock absorber assembly LH through the use of Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 to reduce the coil spring rear LH pressure but do not employ an impact wrench for tool protection. Slot the coil spring rear LH into the shock absorber assembly so its lower portion enters the spring lower seat gap. Install the rear spring bumper No. 1 LH and the LH support assembly for rear suspension afterward position the rear coil spring insulator upper LH to the rear spring front bracket sub-assembly LH. Position the rear spring front bracket sub-assembly LH with the rear coil spring insulator upper LH as shown by illustrations while maintaining symmetry on the RH side. Use the Special Service Tool to install the rear suspension support together with the rear shock absorber cushion washer No. 1. Then tighten a new center nut but do not fully secure it. Remove the Special Service Tool. Use a 6 mm hexagon wrench to hold the piston rod before tightening the nut on the rear spring front bracket sub-assembly LH to achieve 56 Nm torque (571 kgf-cm or 41 ft-lbf). In order to install the rear shock absorber with coil spring, attach two nuts and bolt while tightening to 80 Nm of torque (816 kgf-cm or 59 ft-lbf) before temporarily securing the nut and rear shock absorber LH cushion retainer. After the installation of the luggage compartment tray and deck board sub-assembly and deck board No. 2 and deck floor box rear, the shock absorber head cover goes on last. The suspension stability process requires rear wheel installation followed by lowering the vehicle before torquing the nuts to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). After this, bounce the vehicle multiple times. Secure the nut on the rear shock absorber with coil spring to a torque of 80 Nm (816 kgf-cm, 59 ft-lbf) while performing a rear wheel alignment inspection.
