How to remove the rear shock absorber on Toyota Matrix?

The process to remove the rear shock absorber begins by dismounting the rear wheel then removing deck board No. 2 before proceeding to remove the deck board sub-assembly and deck floor box rear followed by the luggage compartment tray. You must start by removing the shock absorber head cover before securely putting the rear axle beam assembly on a jack. The two nuts and bolt need removal after which you should detach the nut, rear shock absorber LH cushion retainer, and the rear shock absorber with coil spring. Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 needs to be used for compressing the coil spring when it is essential to not employ an impact wrench to protect the tool. Start by holding the piston rod with a 6 mm hexagon wrench before removing the nut. Then remove the rear shock absorber cushion washer No. 1 along with the rear suspension support, rear spring front bracket sub-assembly LH, LH support assembly rear suspension, rear coil spring insulator upper LH, rear spring bumper No. 1 LH and coil spring rear LH.

How to install the rear shock absorber for the double wishbone type suspension on Toyota Matrix?

Follow these installation steps to fit the double wishbone type suspension rear shock absorber: First put the rear shock absorber assembly in place followed by the rear coil spring through use of Special Service Tools 09727-30021 and 09727-00010 for spring compression to position the end into the depression of the lower spring seat. Proceed by installing the rear No. 1 spring bumper followed by the rear coil spring upper insulator and rear suspension support assembly then the rear spring front bracket sub-assembly before adding the rear suspension support and rear No. 1 shock absorber cushion washer which must be directed correctly while installing a new nut only for temporary use. Before detaching the Special Service Tool from the rear coil spring use a 6 mm socket hexagon wrench to tighten the nut until it reaches a torque of 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Install the rear shock absorber coil spring using three nuts that require 80 Nm (816 kgf-cm, 59 ft-lbf) torque then thread the components to the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly with bolt and nut until finishing with the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly bolted and torqued to 65 Nm (663 kgf-cm, 48 ft-lbf). First install the rear floor side member brace along with the rear stabilizer link assembly toward the LH side and the rear wheel by torquing it to 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Install various trim panels alongside their specific components during the LH and RH side installation sequence by correctly positioning and securing the rear combination light service covers, luggage compartment trim hooks along with the rear seat assemblies. The suspension stabilizing process starts with lowering the vehicle before bouncing it several times until the rear shock absorber with coil spring attains correct torque at 210 Nm (2141 kgf-cm, 155 ft-lbf) based on standard vehicle height measurements. Proper rear wheel alignment checks need to follow this step if required.
