Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
INSTALL REAR LOWER COIL SPRING INSULATOR
Align the 2 protrusions to the guide holes and install the rear lower coil spring insulator.
Make sure to insert the 2 protrusions fully into the guide holes.
INSTALL REAR COIL SPRING
Align the matchmarks on the rear coil spring with the SST hooks and install SST to the rear coil spring as shown in the illustration.

When installing a new coil spring, adjust the SST installation position by using the matchmarks on the original spring as a reference.
Using SST, compress the rear coil spring.
| 09727-30021 |
Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.
Align the stopper part of the rear upper coil spring insulator with the rear coil spring tip, and install the rear upper coil spring insulator to the rear coil spring.
Confirm that the rear upper coil spring insulator and the rear lower coil spring insulator are installed securely before installing the rear coil spring.
| Clearance (A) |
|---|
| 10 mm (0.393 in.) or less |
If it is difficult to align the rear upper coil spring insulator, a minimal amount of lithium soap base glycol grease may be applied to the insulator.
Align the stopper part of the rear lower coil spring insulator with the rear coil spring tip, and temporarily install the rear coil spring with SST to the vehicle.
Release SST and install the rear coil spring to the vehicle.
| 09727-30021 |
Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.
Make sure that the rear upper coil spring insulator and rear lower coil spring insulator are correctly aligned and do not fall out of position when installing the spring.
Remove SST from the rear coil spring.

INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK (for RH Side)
INSTALL REAR WHEEL
| 103 N*m | 1050 kgf*cm | 76 ft.*lbf |
STABILIZE SUSPENSION
Lower the vehicle and bounce it up and down several times to stabilize the rear suspension.
INSPECT REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Inspect the rear wheel alignment (Click here).
PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (Click here).
