Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Disassembly & Assembly

DISASSEMBLY

Without Dynamic Digital Suspension and Electronic Air Suspension

CAUTION:

Never damage shock absorber piston rod when removing components from shock absorber.

Install shock absorber attachment [SST: ST35652000 ( − )] (A) to shock absorber and secure it in a vise.

CAUTION:

When installing the shock absorber attachment to shock absorber, wrap a shop cloth around shock absorber to protect it from damage.

Using a spring compressor (commercial service tool) (A), compress coil spring between rubber seat and shock absorber until coil spring with a spring compressor is free.

CAUTION:

Be sure the spring compressor is securely attached to coil spring, before compressing it.

Check coil spring with a spring compressor between rubber seat and shock absorber is free. Remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston rod tip so that piston rod does not turn.

Remove mounting insulator, rubber seat, dust cover, and bound bumper from shock absorber.

After removing coil spring with spring compressor (commercial service tool), gradually release the spring compressor.

CAUTION:

Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.

Remove the shock absorber attachment [SST: ST35652000 ( − )] from shock absorber.

Perform inspection after disassembly. Refer to Inspection.

With Dynamic Digital Suspension and Electronic Air Suspension
