1992 Suzuki Samurai Service and Repair Manual

Only the JA and JL remained for the 1992 Samurai, both four-wheel-drive two-door convertibles powered by the 66-horsepower, fuel-injected 1.3L SOHC four-cylinder. The short wheelbase, leaf-spring suspension and manual-shift transfer case make it a favorite trail rig, and many survivors have been modified. Knowing the factory baseline is essential before changing anything, and this factory service and repair manual gives 1992 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for the stock configuration.
