Removal
CAUTION:

Dynamic Response system components are manufactured to very precise tolerances. It is therefore essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or lines. Failure to follow this instruction may result in foreign matter ingress to the Dynamic Response system.

  1. WARNING:

    Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands.

    Raise and support the vehicle.
  2. Remove the rear bumper cover.
    Refer to: Rear Bumper Cover (501-19 Bumpers, Removal and Installation).
  3. Remove the spare wheel and tire.
  4. Remove the engine undershield.
    Refer to: Engine Undershield (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation).
  5. CAUTIONS:

    • Before disconnecting or removing the components, ensure the area around the joint faces and connections are clean. Plug open connections to prevent contamination.

    • Make sure the actuator fluid lines are not damaged or kinked during removal or installation.

    NOTE:

    Some fluid spillage is inevitable during this operation.

    • Use a Torx socket to prevent the ball joint rotating whilst removing the nut.

    Discard the nut. Remove the stabilizer bar link nut.
  12. CAUTION:

    To prevent the wheel knuckle falling outwards and disconnection of the halfshaft inner joint, support the wheel knuckle.

    Loosen the upper arm retaining nut.

  17. E57814
    Remove the body mount.
  18. CAUTION:

    Before disconnecting or removing the components, ensure the area around the joint faces and connections are clean. Plug open connections to prevent contamination.

    NOTE:

    Some fluid spillage is inevitable during this operation.

    E57815
