- 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.
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°.
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°.
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.
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.
