Coil Spring, Front

Services for both shock absorber and coil spring assembly need shock absorber and spring assembly removal as a starting step. Safety goggles must be worn always during spring compressor operation to protect your eyes. Set the assembly inside a proper spring compressor before compressing the spring until it loses tension. Tilt the shock rod protective cap while using non-impact wrenches to remove the shock absorber rod nut. Implement the static restraint to stop the rod from turning before discarding the nut that will need 40 Nm of torque for reinstallation. Follow these orderings to remove the shock absorber and lower mount assembly then the dust boot and shock absorber upper mount along with the spring upper seat. After releasing the spring compressor tension you should take out the spring. After discarding the shock absorber-to-damper fork bolt you should separate the shock and damper fork before tightening the new bolt to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). When tightening the shock absorber rod nut position the spring end between a distance range from zero to ten millimeters (0 - 0.39 inches) on the step of the spring mount. Recovery of the disassembly steps will finish the assembly task. Customers must replace fasteners and shackle hardware with identical stock numbers whenever possible while applying mentioned torque values to guarantee secure suspension retention because broken fasteners result in costly repairs. Serve the coil spring carefully while protecting its long-term corrosion protective paint coating and avoid heat and flame application during shock absorber removal and servicing because gas-pressurized absorbers can extend spontaneously resulting in potential personal injuries.

Remove the wheel speed sensor bolt and harness bolt, positioning the sensor aside, and tighten both to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.) during reinstallation.
