Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.
The following procedure is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL FRONT LOWER COIL SPRING INSULATOR
Claw
Positioning Pin
Install the front lower coil spring insulator to the front shock absorber assembly.
Note:
When installing the front lower coil spring insulator, insert the positioning pin and claw of the front lower coil spring insulator into the hole of the spring seat.
INSTALL FRONT SPRING BUMPER
Install the front spring bumper to the front shock absorber assembly.
Note:
Face the smaller diameter end of the front spring bumper downward.
INSTALL FRONT COIL SPRING
For SST with stopper pins:
Secure SST in a vise.

Attach the hooks of each SST arm across the diameter of the coil spring.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the hooks of the upper and lower arms are attached to the coil spring so that the distance between the hooks is as large as possible.
Make sure that the arms of SST are parallel and attached to the coil spring, and the number of coil springs between the hooks on each side is the same.
Check that the claws of the hooks are securely attached to the coil spring.

Stopper Pin
Install the stopper pins to the hooks of SST.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the stopper pins are installed securely.
Using SST, compress the coil spring.
CAUTION:
If the coil spring bends while using SST, stop immediately and reattach SST correctly.
Do not compress the coil spring to the point where the coils touch each other.
Do not use an impact wrench.
If a stopper pin touches the coil spring while using SST, remove the stopper pin and continue with the procedure. In this case, installing the coil spring stopper belt as shown in the illustration is recommended.

*a
Depression
Install the front coil spring to the front shock absorber assembly.
Note:
Make sure to fit the end of the front coil spring that has the smaller diameter into the depression of the front lower coil spring insulator.
INSTALL FRONT UPPER COIL SPRING INSULATOR
Install the front upper coil spring insulator to the front shock absorber assembly.
INSTALL FRONT UPPER COIL SPRING SEAT
Install the front upper coil spring seat to the front shock absorber assembly.
INSTALL STRUT MOUNTING BEARING
Install the strut mounting bearing to the front upper coil spring seat.
INSTALL FRONT SUPPORT TO FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER NUT
Temporarily tighten a new front support to front shock absorber nut.
Remove SST from the front coil spring.
Note:
Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.
