SUSPENSION: FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER: REASSEMBLY

HINT
* Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
* The procedures listed below are for the LH side.

1. INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING LOWER INSULATOR LH

(a) Install the front coil spring lower insulator to the front shock absorber so that both recessed parts are aligned.





2. INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING LH

(a) Using SST, compress the coil spring.





SST : 09727-30021

09727-00010

09727-00021

09727-00031

NOTICE:
Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.

(b) Install the coil spring so that the end comes to the stepped portion of the coil spring insulator lower.





3. INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING UPPER INSULATOR LH

(a) Align the bolt of the front suspension support and the cutout of the front coil spring insulator, and install the front coil spring insulator on the front suspension support.





(b) Align the width across flat of the piston rod end and of the front suspension support to install the front shock absorber.

4. INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION SUPPORT SUB-ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Install the suspension support assembly with the upper insulator to the shock absorber.

5. INSTALL FRONT SUPPORT TO FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER COLLAR LH (for 2WD)

(a) Install the collar to the shock absorber.

6. INSTALL FRONT SUPPORT TO FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER NUT LH (for 2WD)

(a) Temporarily install a new lock nut to the front shock absorber.

(b) Adjust the front suspension support so that the bolts come to the positions as shown in the illustration, and remove SST from the front coil spring.





NOTICE:
* Do not use an impact wrench.
* Make sure that the width across flat on the piston rod end is located parallel to the shock absorber bush.
* Make sure of the direction of the front suspension support when removing SST.
* Install the front suspension support so that the paint marks face vehicle outside.

7. INSTALL FRONT SUPPORT TO FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER NUT LH (for AWD)

(a) Temporarily install a new lock nut to the front shock absorber.

(b) Adjust the front suspension support so that the bolts come to the positions as shown in the illustration, and remove SST from the front coil spring.





NOTICE:
* Do not use an impact wrench.
* Make sure of the direction of the front suspension support when removing SST.
