This is a scanned page (page code RA-7) from a factory service manual's Service Data and Specifications (S.D.S.) section covering a rear suspension/rear axle system. The General Specifications table describes a 4-link with coil spring suspension, giving coil spring data: wire diameter 8.8 mm (0.346 in), coil diameter 85 mm (3.35 in), free length 322 mm (12.68 in) left and right, spring constant 14.2 N/mm (1.45 kg/mm, 81.2 lb/in), and identification color White x 1. Shock absorber specs list a 'road sensing vortex type' shock absorber with 20 mm (0.79 in) piston diameter, 10 mm (0.39 in) piston rod diameter, 194.1 mm (7.64 in) stroke, and damping force figures at short (2 mm) and long (40 mm) stroke for expansion and compression. A Tightening Torque table gives values in N·m, kg-m, and ft-lb for the wheel nut (98-118 N·m / 72-87 ft-lb), brake tube connector flare nut, back plate to axle case, shock absorber mounts (to body and axle tube), and upper/lower link attachments (all links 77-98 N·m / 57-72 ft-lb). An Inspection and Adjustment note directs the reader to Preload Adjustment for wheel bearing service.
