The same build window covers two different rear suspension layouts and two different front lower arm procedures, so identify the truck before you order.

Find Your Truck

Start with the chassis number. On a Hijet, it looks like S110P-123456. You can find it on the identification plate, registration, or import paperwork. The photos below show where to look. Four factors determine fitment. Only one is obvious from the outside.

Daihatsu Hijet chassis and engine identification plate in the engine bay beneath the driver-side seat, reached by lifting the seat. S100 S110 kei truck, 1994 to 1998. — Where to look: lift the driver-side seat. The chassis plate is mounted underneath it.

Close-up of a Daihatsu Hijet ID plate showing the CHASSIS NO beginning with S100 or S110 and the ENGINE line reading EF-NS, 1994 to 1998 — Up close: read the CHASSIS NO, it starts with S100 or S110, then the ENGINE line. The one shown is an S100, EF-NS truck.

Drivetrain. S100 is 2WD, S110 is 4WD. On 4WD trucks the drive shaft passes through the steering knuckle, which changes how the front lower arm comes off and what has to come apart with it.

ABS. The factory writes the front lower arm job twice, once for standard trucks and once for ABS trucks. The standard version calls for one special tool. The ABS version calls for six. A sensor and a wire behind the front wheel means you have the longer job.

Rear suspension layout. Some of these trucks are leaf sprung at the back. Others use a three link rear with coil springs and suspension arms. Look under the back of the truck.

Body style. Pickups and vans use different caster settings. The factory also identifies the leaf-spring pad stack as van-only in two separate procedures. Vans use spring pads that pickups do not.

Rear Suspension TypesLeaf springs or a three-link coil-spring setup. The factory manual does not assign either layout to a specific chassis code.

One tool vs. sixStandard models need a tie-rod puller. ABS models need six special tools, a torque wrench, plus MP grease.

Tighten at ride heightRear arm and lateral rod fasteners get final torque only after the truck is lowered and settled.

Alignment requiredLower-arm service ends with a front wheel alignment check. This applies to standard and ABS models.

Inspection & Service

The factory schedules inspections, not automatic suspension-part replacement at these intervals. Trucks in commercial use are inspected more often than trucks in private use.

Inspection Item	Private Use	Commercial Use	Application or Note
Chassis spring: damage	24 months	3 and 12 months	Look for breakage and cracks.
Chassis spring: unequal left and right deflection	Not scheduled	12 months	Checked with the truck unloaded on level ground.
Mounting points: looseness and damage	24 months	Not scheduled	Covers the bracket as well.
Mounting points excluding the bracket: looseness and damage	Not scheduled	3 and 12 months	The commercial schedule splits the bracket into its own row.
Connecting points: play	24 months	12 months	Covers the strut and leaf-spring mountings.
Leaf displacement	Not scheduled	12 months	Coil-spring suspension does not require this inspection. Spring bands and U-bolts are checked with it.
Bracket mounting: looseness and damage	Not scheduled	12 months	Listed separately from the other mounting points.
Suspension arm: play at the connections, plus arm damage	24 months	12 months	Leaf suspension without a stabilizer does not require this inspection.
Shock absorber: oil leakage and damage	24 months	3 and 12 months	Inspect the cylinder body for leakage.
Shock absorber: mounting play	24 months	3 and 12 months	Shake the mounting by hand, then check the fasteners.

Wheel and tire items a suspension diagnosis uses

Rear wheel bearing play	24 months	12 months	Axial play at the axle center, 0.1 to 0.8 mm.

An inspection interval is not a replacement interval. Every item above is a look, a shake, or a measurement. The factory replaces a suspension part when the inspection fails, not when the truck reaches a given month.

Front Suspension

Every S100 and S110 uses a front strut assembly. The shock absorber, coil spring, upper mount, spring seat, bump stop, and dust cover come out together. Three nuts secure the top. One bolt and nut connect it to the steering knuckle below.

Inspect the complete assembly before ordering. These parts have covered the same mileage, and strut service already requires disassembly. Replacing worn mounts, bump stops, or dust covers now prevents repeating the job later.

Daihatsu Hijet front strut assembly components, shock absorber, coil spring, upper support, spring seat, bumper and dust cover, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The front strut, exploded. Torque figures are in kgf-cm.

Daihatsu Hijet ABS front lower arm, strut bar, steering knuckle and drive shaft component diagram, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The same front corner on an ABS truck, with the drive shaft in the job.

Two assembly details are easy to miss. The spring's paint mark faces downward. The upper and lower ends must sit fully in their seat grooves.

ABS changes the entire lower arm job

The factory gives separate procedures for standard and ABS trucks. A wired sensor behind the front wheel confirms ABS. That version requires the longer repair.

Procedure step	Standard truck	ABS truck
Steering knuckle	Stays on the truck	Removed with the lower arm
Hub and brake	Stay installed	Caliper, hub, disc, sensor removed
Shaft or spindle	Left undisturbed	4WD shaft removed; 2WD spindle pressed out
Brake dust cover	Left in place	Replaced, then press-fitted

The lower arm and strut bar

Below the strut, the lower control arm connects to the steering knuckle through a ball joint. A body-side bushing anchors the rear, while the strut bar locates the arm from the front.

The factory requires a new ball-joint clip after removal. Inspect the arm for damage, the boot for cracks, plus the rear bushing for deformation or permanent compression. Check the strut bar for bending. Inspect its cushions for permanent set.

Daihatsu Hijet front lower control arm inspection points for bending, cracks and a collapsed bushing, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The three points the factory checks on a lower control arm.

Daihatsu Hijet front strut bar inspection points, a bent bar and a collapsed strut bar cushion, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The strut bar and its cushion, checked for bending and for collapse.

Neither of these looks dramatic when you pull it off. A crushed strut bar cushion or a collapsed arm bushing lets the wheel move under braking, and what you feel from the seat is vague steering rather than a clunk.

Rear Suspension

This is the part that catches people out. The factory documents two rear ends and they share almost nothing.

Where it sits	Leaf sprung	Three link with coils
The spring	A leaf spring at each side	A coil spring at each side
What clamps it to the axle	U bolts through spring pads	Nothing, the arms carry the axle
Front mounting	A fixed spring eye	A suspension arm bushing into the body
Rear mounting	A swinging shackle	A suspension arm bushing into the axle
Side to side location	The springs themselves	A lateral control rod
Rear shock upper nut	450 ± 100 kgf-cm	480 ± 95 kgf-cm

Daihatsu Hijet rear leaf spring components, shackle, U bolt, spring pads, retainer and bushings exploded, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The leaf sprung rear: spring, shackle, pads, retainer and U bolts.

Daihatsu Hijet rear coil spring and suspension arm components with the rear shock absorber and spring seats, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The three link rear: coil spring, seats and rear suspension arms.

Identify your rear suspension in seconds

Look beneath the rear axle. A lateral control rod running across the truck identifies the three-link coil-spring setup. No rod means you have leaf springs.

Daihatsu Hijet rear lateral control rod location on the three link rear suspension, running across the axle, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — The lateral control rod, running across the axle. Only three link trucks carry one.

Do not order rear suspension parts by chassis code alone. Check beneath the truck to confirm whether it uses leaf springs or a three-link coil rear suspension before selecting parts.

The lateral control rod locates the axle

It centers the rear axle beneath the truck. Installation requires a height setting, not just bolt torque. Final tightening happens at ride height after the suspension settles.

Incorrect installation can leave the axle off-center or preload the bushings. The LSPV sensor spring also mounts here, so this job affects a brake component.

Troubleshooting

None of these prove a specific part has failed. They tell you where to look.

What you notice	What to inspect first
Clunk over bumps	Arm joints, ball joint, strut mounts, shock mounts, loose fasteners
Keeps bouncing after a bump	Front or rear shocks; check for leakage, damage, or mounting play
Vague or wandering steering	Tire pressure, alignment, lower-arm bushings, strut-bar cushions, ball joint, wheel-bearing play
Sits low or leans to one side	Broken or sagging springs; compare both sides with the truck unloaded on level ground
Uneven tire wear	Tire pressure, wheel balance, alignment, wheel or bearing looseness
Rear squeak, clunk, or metal contact	Leaf spring position, spring bands, U-bolts, shackles, bushings, pads, bumpers
Rear axle shifts side to side	Lateral control rod, bushings, mountings on three-link models
Oil leaking down a shock body	Shock absorber, mounting play, loose fasteners
Wheel rocks at the top and bottom	Repeat with the brake pressed. If play disappears, suspect the bearing. If it remains, inspect the axle carrier or suspension.

A free test that tells a bad bearing from a bad arm. Jack the front, hold the tire top and bottom, and rock it. If you feel play, have someone hold the brake pedal down and rock it again. If the play goes away, it is the wheel bearing. If the play is still there, inspect the axle carrier or the suspension. The axial limits are 0.5 mm at the front and 0.10 to 0.80 mm at the rear.

Daihatsu Hijet wheel bearing play checked by rocking the tire top and bottom with the brake pedal down, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — Rocking the tire at 12 and 6, then again with the brake held on.

Daihatsu Hijet front strut and rear shock absorber checked for oil leaks and shock body damage, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — Front and rear shocks, checked for oil down the body and for even resistance.

What tire wear can tell you

Tire wear can point you toward the cause, but it does not confirm a failed suspension part. For any abnormal pattern, the factory says to check tire pressure, wheel balance, plus alignment.

What you see	Factory-listed cause	Check first
Center worn	Tire pressure too high	Confirm pressure against the factory specification
Both shoulders worn	Tire pressure too low or the truck has been overloaded	Check pressure plus vehicle load
Waves across the tread	Excessive toe-in or camber	Inspect front wheel alignment
One shoulder worn	Road crown may contribute. Incorrect front alignment or rear wheel looseness can also cause it	Check alignment, wheel nuts, plus bearing play
One area wearing quickly	Frequent hard braking or rapid acceleration	Consider driving conditions before replacing suspension parts
Outer shoulder wearing quickly	Incorrect camber or toe-in, combined with fast cornering	Check alignment plus driving conditions
Tread level with the wear bars	Tire has reached its wear limit	Replace below the factory minimum of 1.6 mm
Cracks or sidewall damage	Tire deterioration or impact damage	Inspect the complete tire before driving
Nails, metal, or stones in the tread	Embedded road debris	Check for punctures or air loss before removal

Installation & Alignment

Most of what follows costs nothing except your attention, and every one of these is a factory inspection point.

Service job	Inspect while it is apart
Front strut	Cycle the shock through its full stroke. Check for uneven resistance, noise, leaks, damage, or mount play. Inspect the upper support, bushing, spring seat, bump stop, dust covers, plus the spring. The paint mark faces down. Both spring ends must sit in their seat grooves.
Lower arm or strut bar	Inspect the arm body, ball-joint boot, rear bushing, strut bar, cushions, plus each mounting point. Replace the ball-joint clip after removal. Check front alignment once the repair is complete.
Rear shock	Cycle the shock through its full stroke. Check for uneven resistance, noise, leaks, damage, or mounting play. Replace the removed mounting nuts.
Rear leaf spring	Inspect the leaf, shackle plates, bushings, pads, retainer, bumper, spring bands, plus U-bolts. Look for cracks, displacement, deformation, pinching, permanent compression, or loose hardware. Tighten the U-bolts evenly.
Rear coil spring or suspension arm	Inspect the spring, both seats, bumper, arm body, bushings, joints, plus mounting points. Look for cracks, sag, deformation, damage, or play. The urethane-covered side faces up. The spring end sits in the lower-seat groove.
Lateral control rod	Inspect the rod body, both bushings, mounting points, plus the LSPV sensor spring. Preserve the sensor-spring alignment marks. Set the installation height before torque. Final-tighten after the suspension settles.
Any suspension work	Inspect the tires for abnormal wear or embedded debris. Check the rims, wheel nuts, bearing play, plus bearing noise. If front-wheel play disappears with the brake pressed, suspect the bearing. If it remains, inspect the axle carrier or suspension.

Daihatsu Hijet front coil spring checked for cracks and sag, compared left against right on level ground, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — With the truck unloaded on level ground, compare both sides for uneven sag.

Daihatsu Hijet rear leaf spring checked for displacement, with the spring bands and U bolts, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — Check for spring shift, damaged bands, or loose U-bolts.

Daihatsu Hijet rear leaf spring inspection points on the shackle, pads, retainer, bumper and U bolt, S100 and S110, 1994 to 1998 — Every point the factory checks on a rear leaf spring assembly.

Some suspension fasteners are single-use. The factory requires new lower strut hardware, three upper support nuts, plus a shock absorber rod lock nut. It also specifies a new lower-arm nut, ball-joint clip, and rear shock nuts. Confirm the required hardware before installation.

Aligning your Hijet after suspension work

Anything you change at the front lower arm, strut or knuckle moves the alignment. The factory sends you to the alignment check by name at the end of the ABS lower arm procedure. Measure the way it does: unloaded, fuel tank full, spare tire out.

Before measuring alignment

Check first	Factory requirement	Action
Suspension and steering	No looseness or excessive play	Repair worn ball joints, linkage, mounts, or wheel bearings first
Tires	Correct pressure with no severe wear	Correct any tire issue before measuring
Radial tire runout	1.4 mm maximum	Repair or replace the tire or wheel if excessive
Lateral tire runout	2.0 mm maximum	Repair or replace the tire or wheel if excessive

Before measuring toe, roll the truck straight forward about 5 meters to settle the suspension.

The factory begins with tire pressure before using any alignment gauge. A passing side-slip result does not confirm the front end is correct. Any abnormal alignment value still requires inspection or correction.

Specifications

Factory alignment specifications

Alignment check	Factory specification	Adjustable?	Factory guidance
Toe-in	0 ± 1.0 mm	Yes	Adjust both rack ends equally in opposite directions
Camber	0°15′ ± 45′	No	Factory-set
Caster, pickup	3°08′ ± 1°	No	Factory-set
Caster, van or Atrai	3°04′ ± 1°	No	Factory-set
Kingpin inclination	13°03′ ± 1°	No	Factory-set
Front side slip	5 mm IN to 5 mm OUT	No direct adjustment	Use as the final alignment check

Toe is the only adjustable setting. Camber, caster, and kingpin inclination are measured but factory-set. If one is out after an impact, inspect for bent or damaged parts. Caster differs between pickups and vans, so body style matters.

Factory Notes

*The rear shock lower nut is printed two ways for a leaf sprung truck. The written installation procedure specifies 450 ± 100 kgf-cm. The component diagram for the same connection prints 450 ± 150 kgf-cm. We publish both rather than choosing one.

The manual gives conflicting rear tire pressures for S110V vans fitted with 5.00-12 tires. Two places in the manual specify 2.4 kgf/cm². The service standards table at the back of the book specifies 2.6 kgf/cm² for the same applications. This conflict does not affect the 145R12 tire size. Check the tire-pressure label on the vehicle before setting pressure.

The factory never assigns a rear suspension layout to a chassis code. The factory documents both layouts but never assigns either to a chassis code. We checked the rear shock, leaf spring, coil spring, suspension arm, lateral rod, service-standard, and front-matter sections. None identifies the application.
