FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER DISASSEMBLY

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.

  • The procedures listed below are for the LH side.


  1. REMOVE FRONT SUPPORT TO FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER NUT LH


    1. A01GJ4GE01

      Secure SST in a vise.

      SST
      09727-30021   ( 09727-00010, 09727-00021, 09727-00031 )
    2. A01GM6O

      Attach the arm of SST to the diameter of the coil spring.

      CAUTION:


      • Make sure that the coil spring is installed so that the distance between the upper and lower hooks of SST is at the maximum.

      • Make sure that the claws of the hooks are securely attached.

    3. Using SST, compress the coil spring.

      CAUTION:


      • If the coil spring bends during the compression, immediately stop the compression and reinstall SST.

      • Do not compress the spring until the coil springs contact each other.

      • Do not use an impact wrench.

    4. Confirm that the coil spring becomes free and remove the front support to front shock absorber nut LH.

      CAUTION:

      Do not remove the front support to front shock absorber nut when the coil spring is not free.

  2. REMOVE FRONT SUPPORT TO FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER LH COLLAR


    1. Remove the collar from the shock absorber.

  3. REMOVE FRONT SUSPENSION SUPPORT SUB-ASSEMBLY LH


    1. Remove the suspension support assembly with the insulator upper from the shock absorber.

  4. REMOVE FRONT COIL SPRING LH


    1. Remove the coil spring from the shock absorber.

  5. REMOVE FRONT COIL SPRING INSULATOR UPPER LH


    1. Remove the insulator upper from the suspension support.

  6. REMOVE FRONT COIL SPRING INSULATOR LOWER LH


    1. Remove the insulator lower from the shock absorber.
