Front Shock Absorber Reassembly

Install the front coil spring insulator lower to the front shock absorber so that both recessed parts are aligned.

Using SST, compress the front coil spring.

SST

09727-30021(09727-00010,09727-00021,09727-00031)

NOTICE:

Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage the SST.

HINT:

The front coil spring can also be installed/removed using the hydraulic spring compressor.

Install the front coil spring so that the end comes to the stepped portion of the spring lower seat.

Install the front spring bumper on the front suspension support sub-assembly.

Align the bolt of the front suspension support sub-assembly and the cutout of the front coil spring insulator upper, and install the front coil spring insulator upper on the front suspension support sub-assembly.

Align the width across flat of the piston rod end and of the front suspension support sub-assembly to install the front shock absorber.

Temporarily tighten a new lock nut to the front shock absorber.

Adjust the front suspension support sub-assembly so that the bolts come to the positions as shown in the illustration, and remove the SST from the front coil spring.

NOTICE:

1. Do not use an impact wrench.
   
2. Make sure that the width across flat on the piston rod end is located parallel to the shock absorber bush.
   
3. Make sure of the direction of the front suspension support sub-assembly when removing the SST.
