REASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL LOWER INSULATOR ONTO SHOCK AB-
SORBER
2. INSTALL SPRING BUMPER TO PISTON ROD
3. INSTALL COIL SPRING
(a) Using SST, compress the coil spring.
SST 09727±30021
NOTICE:
Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage the SST.
HINT:
Use 2 of the same type of SST.
(b) Install the coil spring to the shock absorber.
HINT:
Fit the lower end of the coil spring into the gap of the spring low-
er seat.
4. INSTALL SPRING UPPER SEAT AND INSULATOR
(a) Align the 'OUT' mark of spring upper seat with the mark
of the upper insulator.
(b) Install the spring upper seat with upper insulator to the
shock absorber with the mark facing the outside of the ve-
hicle.
(c) Install the bearing and suspension support.
(d) Using SST to hold the suspension support, install a new
nut.
