**Use NEW self-locking bolts if nut can be threaded easily past nylon locking area. Use NEW self-locking nuts any time a self-locking nut is removed. When tightening retaining bolts used on parts containing rubber mounting bushings, ensure vehicle weight is supported on strut assembly.**
==''STRUT ASSEMBLY''==
From inside vehicle, remove strut upper cover (if equipped). Remove 2 upper strut mounting base nuts. Raise mand support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Place wheels in trunk to provide ballast. Remove speed sensor wire bracket (if equipped). DO NOT remove speed sensor. Remove lower strut mounting bolt. Lower rear suspension, and remove strut from vehicle.
**Inspection & Reassembly**
Check for weak spring tension. Inspect components for deterioration and damage. Strut assembly must be replaced if rod does not move smoothly through full travel or signs of oil leakage exist. Replace worn or damaged components. To assemble, reverse disassembly procedure. Install NEW strut shaft nut. Tighten nut to specification.
1. Lower rear suspension, and place strut assembly in its original position. Loosely install lower strut mounting bolt. Loosely install upper strut mounting nuts. Ensure vehicle weight is supported on strut assembly before tightening lower strut mounting bolt to specification.
2. Raise rear suspension so strut assembly supports vehicle weight. Loosely install strut mounting. Reverse removal procedure for remaining components. Raise rear suspension until weight of car is on strut. Tighten bolts to specification. Install strut cap (if equipped).
==''TRAILING ARM''==
**Removal and Installation**
1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove rear wheels. Place wheels in trunk to provide ballast. Remove brake drum or rotor. See appropriate BRAKE SYSTEM article (below) in BRAKES.
2. Remove parking brake cable from backing plate (if necessary). Disconnect brake line from brake flexhose. Support lower arm using a floor jack. Remove trailing arm pivot bushing-to-body retaining bolts.
3. Remove compensator arm from trailing arm. Remove lower arm bolt at trailing arm. Remove trailing arm assembly. To install, reverse removal procedure. Final tightening of nuts and bolts should be performed with vehicle on ground. Reconnect brake hose.
4. Bleed hydraulic [[BrakesEg brake system]]. Check rear toe-in adjustment.
==''WHEEL BEARING''==
**Removal and Installation**
1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly and brake drum or rotor. Remove hub cap, nut, washer and hub bearing assembly. Replace hub and bearing assembly as a unit.
2. To install, reverse removal procedure using new hub retaining nut. Tighten nut to specification. Stake hub retaining nut against spindle.
