SUSPENSION: FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER: REASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL STRUT MOUNTING BEARING
(a) Using a brass bar and press, install the strut mounting bearing onto the coil spring seat upper.
NOTICE:
The strut mounting bearing must be securely installed.
2. INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING
(a) Using SST, compress the coil spring.

09727-00031
NOTICE:
Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.
(b) Install the coil spring onto the shock absorber.
NOTICE:
A spring of a smaller diameter should be installed in the upward direction.
HINT
Fit the lower end of the coil spring into the gap of the absorber lower seat.
3. INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING UPPER INSULATOR
4. INSTALL FRONT SPRING BUMPER
(a) Install the spring bumper onto the coil spring seat upper with the air discharge groove of the spring bumper and the rib portion of the coil spring seat upper aligned.

SST : 09729-97202
without SST - Torque : 33 Nm (340 kgf-cm, 25 ft-lbf)
with SST - Torque : 29 Nm (300 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf)
HINT
* This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
* This torque value can be obtained by using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.) and a SST with a fulcrum length of 40 mm (1.57 in.).
* If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Service Precautions.
7. INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION SUPPORT SUB-ASSEMBLY
