Servicing Your Honda
Suspension
Your front and rear suspension systems use springs and hydraulic
damping devices that suspend your weight and most of the weight of
your Honda MUV.
The oil damper systems hydraulically control the natural compression
and rebound of the suspension springs so that traction and comfort are
maintained as the wheels ride over rough terrain.
The spring pre-loads for your r
ear suspension system adjust the amount
of force required to begin compression of the spring.
Consider adjusting your suspensions pre-load whenever you change
your normal load, by adding cargo or accessories, or when driving
conditions change.
The way you drive your Honda MUV and the type of ride you want to
experience can also influence your suspension needs.
Lower spring pre-load provides a softer r
ide and is usually preferred for
light loads and smooth terrain. Higher spring pre-load provides a firmer
ride and is recommended for heavy loads and rough terrain.
Using a pin spanner, which is available from your dealer, the rear
suspension can be adjusted for carrying heavier cargo.
Do not attempt to disassemble, service, or dispose of the damper; see
your dealer. The instructions found in this ow
ner's manual are limited to
adjustments of the shock assembly only.
