Removing
1. Please note that the rear springs should be changed in pairs. At the same time, it is recommended to replace the rubber spring buffers.
2. Block the front wheels, jack up and support the rear of the vehicle on axle stands.
3. Working under the rear of the vehicle, remove the locking brackets and slide the brake pipes out of the brackets on both sides of the underside of the vehicle. Note that the locking brackets also support the ABS sensor wires.
4. Working alternately on each side of the vehicle, support the diagonal arm with a jack, then unscrew and remove the bolt and washer that secures the lower end of the shock absorber to the diagonal arm. Lower the jack carefully and remove it as soon as the shock absorber comes out of the diagonal arm.
5. Disconnect the fuel outlet hose from the fuel filter located on the right side of the bottom in front of the fuel tank. Seal open filter and hose openings to prevent further loss of fuel and dirt from entering the system.
6. Support the rear plate of the rear suspension cross member with a jack, then unscrew and remove the two mounting bolts from the rear cross member beam.
7. Gently lower the jack just enough to remove the springs and buffers, being careful not to deform the hoses, tubes, or wires. Note the correct orientation of the springs.
Installation
8. Place the springs and their supports between the diagonal arms and the bottom, orienting the springs correctly.
