REAR SUSPENSION DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO REAR SUSPENSION DIAGNOSIS

M1341013100160

If the rear suspension is faulty, the vehicle will not run
straightforward or noise will occur. Incorrect wheel
alignment, malfunction of shock absorber, stabilizer
bar, coil spring, control arms or worn or out-of-bal-
ance will cause these problems.

REAR SUSPENSION DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1341013200275

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them thoroughly, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a
rear suspension fault.
