for Preparation Click here

1. Install the front spring bumper to the piston rod.
   

2. Install the front coil spring insulator lower onto the front shock absorber.
   

3. 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 SSTs will make the work easier.

4. 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.

5. Install the front coil spring insulator upper as shown in the illustration.
   

   HINT:

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

6. Install the front coil spring seat upper with the mark facing to the outer side of the vehicle.
   

   HINT:

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

7. Install the 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.

8. Install the front suspension support sub-assembly with the identification mark facing the outer side of the vehicle.
   Temporarily tighten a new lock nut.
   

   NOTICE:

   Check that the width across flat on the piston rod and the width across flat on the front suspension support sub-assembly are aligned.

9. 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°.
