Reassembly

SUSPENSION: FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER: REASSEMBLY

1. INSTALL FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER

(a) Install the front spring bumper to the piston rod.

(b) Install the front coil spring lower insulator onto the front shock absorber.





NOTICE:
Align the 2 protrusions of the front coil spring lower insulator and the 2 holes in the front shock absorber.

(c) Using SST, compress the front coil spring.





SST : 09727-30021

09727-00010

09727-00021

09727-00031

NOTICE:
Do not use an impact wrench.

HINT
If the front coil spring is compressed at an angle, using 2 SST will make the work easier.

(d) Install the front coil spring to the front shock absorber.





NOTICE:
The smaller diameter end of the front coil spring must face upward.

HINT
Fit the lower end of the front coil spring into the gap of the insulator.

(e) Install the front coil spring upper insulator as shown in the illustration.





HINT
Any misalignment between the front shock absorber lower bracket and the matchmark must be +-5°.

(f) Install the front coil spring upper seat with the mark facing to the outside of the vehicle.





HINT
Any misalignment between the front shock absorber lower bracket and the matchmark must be +-5°.

(g) Install a new front suspension support bearing as shown in the illustration.





HINT
If there is foreign matter inside the front suspension support bearing, replace it with a new one.

(h) Install the front suspension support sub-assembly.





Temporarily tighten a new lock nut.

NOTICE:
Check that the flats on the piston rod and the flats on the front suspension support sub-assembly are aligned.

(i) Remove the SST slowly in order to release the coil spring.





NOTICE:
Do not use an impact wrench.

HINT
Any misalignment between the front shock absorber lower bracket and the arrows must be +-5°.
