Front Shock Absorber Reassembly

Install the front spring bumper to the piston rod.

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.

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.

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.

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°.

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°.

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.

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.

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°.
