How to remove the rear shock absorber on Toyota Solara?

You begin the procedure to remove the rear shock absorber by taking off the roof side garnish assembly inner RH and LH for the coupe body along with the package tray trim panel assembly. Begin by disconnecting the LH 3 point type belt assembly for the seat while proceeding to take out the convertible body type components that include the rear seat cushion assembly alongside the headrest plate cover and headrest assembly and shoulder belt cover. The removal process starts with taking out the rear seatback assembly followed by eliminating the quarter trim panel sub-assembly upper LH. A jack must support the rear axle carrier while you remove the rear stabilizer link assembly LH by unscrewing its nut and disconnecting it from the shock absorber through the use of a hexagon wrench (5 mm) to prevent the ball joint from rotating with the nut. The procedure to remove the rear LH flexible hose begins by taking out the 2 bolts and disconnecting it while detaching the skid control sensor wire attached to the shock absorber. The method to remove the rear shock absorber assembly involves loosening the 2 lower side nuts without removing the 2 bolts and 2 nuts followed by removing the rear suspension support No. 1 cover LH and loosening the LH support suspension center nut which remains in place. Put the 3 nuts aside before lowering the rear axle carrier and extracting the shock absorber with coil spring by removing its 2 nuts and 2 bolts positioned on the lower side.

How to install the rear shock absorber assembly LH on Toyota Solara?

The process to install the rear shock absorber assembly LH begins with attaching the spring bumper along with the insulator lower. The installation requires Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 to compress the coil spring while eliminating the use of an impact wrench to protect the tool from damage. Follow this step by fitting the lower end section of the coil spring into the lower seat gap then position the piston rod flat faces parallel with the LH support suspension flat faces. Insert the LH support suspension against the shock absorber lower bracket so the protruding section faces outward before clamping the collar to the piston rod and tightening a new nut which allows removal of Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 while checking the LH suspension alignment. Install the 3 upper rear shock absorber with coil spring nuts provisionally then torque them starting from 1 through 3 to reach 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Connect both shock absorber with coil spring bolts and nuts at 180 Nm torque rating (1,840 kgf-cm, 133 ft-lbf) while omitting top nut torque until resetting values for entire procedure completion. Fitting begins with the rear suspension support No.1 cover LH followed by rear LH flexible hose attachment alongside skid control sensor wire using 2 bolts tightened to a sequence of Bolt A at 19 Nm (195 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf) and Bolt B at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). You should attach the rear stabilizer link assembly LH to the shock absorber using a nut then tighten it to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Before doing so check if the ball joint moves freely with the nut. Use a 5 mm hexagon wrench to stabilize the stud when necessary. To finish the procedure install the rear wheel using 103 Nm of torque (1,050 kgf-cm / 76 ft-lbf) then check the rear wheel alignment.

Begin by disconnecting the LH 3 point type belt assembly for the seat while proceeding to take out the convertible body type components that include the rear seat cushion assembly alongside the headrest plate cover and headrest assembly and shoulder belt cover.

The procedure to remove the rear LH flexible hose begins by taking out the 2 bolts and disconnecting it while detaching the skid control sensor wire attached to the shock absorber. The method to remove the rear shock absorber assembly involves loosening the 2 lower side nuts without removing the 2 bolts and 2 nuts followed by removing the rear suspension support No. 1 cover LH and loosening the LH support suspension center nut which remains in place. Put the 3 nuts aside before lowering the rear axle carrier and extracting the shock absorber with coil spring by removing its 2 nuts and 2 bolts positioned on the lower side.

Q: How to install the rear shock absorber assembly LH on Toyota Solara?
A:
The process to install the rear shock absorber assembly LH begins with attaching the spring bumper along with the insulator lower. The installation requires Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 to compress the coil spring while eliminating the use of an impact wrench to protect the tool from damage. Follow this step by fitting the lower end section of the coil spring into the lower seat gap then position the piston rod flat faces parallel with the LH support suspension flat faces. Insert the LH support suspension against the shock absorber lower bracket so the protruding section faces outward before clamping the collar to the piston rod and tightening a new nut which allows removal of Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 while checking the LH suspension alignment. Install the 3 upper rear shock absorber with coil spring nuts provisionally then torque them starting from 1 through 3 to reach 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Connect both shock absorber with coil spring bolts and nuts at 180 Nm torque rating (1,840 kgf-cm, 133 ft-lbf) while omitting top nut torque until resetting values for entire procedure completion. Fitting begins with the rear suspension support No.1 cover LH followed by rear LH flexible hose attachment alongside skid control sensor wire using 2 bolts tightened to a sequence of Bolt A at 19 Nm (195 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf) and Bolt B at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). You should attach the rear stabilizer link assembly LH to the shock absorber using a nut then tighten it to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Before doing so check if the Ball Joint moves freely with the nut. Use a 5 mm hexagon wrench to stabilize the stud when necessary. To finish the procedure install the rear wheel using 103 Nm of torque (1,050 kgf-cm / 76 ft-lbf) then check the rear wheel alignment.
