INSTALLATION OF STRUT ROD
1. INSTALL STRUT ROD
(a) Position the strut rod to the body and temporarily install
the bolt and nut.
HINT: Be sure the lip of the nut is resting on the flange of
the bracket as shown in the figure.
2. INSTALL WHEELS AND LOWER VEHICLE
(a) install the wheels.
(b) Remove the stands and bounce the vehicle up and
down to stabilize the suspension. (b) Temporarily connect the strut rod with the bolt and
nut.
HINT: Be sure the lip of the nut is resting on the
flange of the bracket as shown in the figure. .
