      *1 Positioning Pin

      Install the front coil spring lower insulator.

      Note

      Make sure that the positioning pin of the front coil spring lower insulator is inserted into the hole in the front shock absorber.

  2. INSTALL FRONT SPRING BUMPER LH

  3. INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING LH

      *a Correct
      *b Incorrect

      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.
