Remove the flange bolt (B), and disconnect the
upper arm {C) from the knuckle.
Mark the cam positions of the adjusting bolt (A) and
adjusting cam (B), the remove the self-locking nut

8. Remove the flange bolt (D), and remove the
knuckle {E).
9. Installthe knuckle in the reverse order of removal,
and note these items:
. First install all the suspension components, and
lightly tighten the bolts and nuls, then place a
floor jack under the lower a rm, and raise the
suspension to load it with the vehicle's weight
before fully tightening the bolts and nuts to the
specified torque values.. Align the cam positions of the adjusting bolt (A)
and adjusting cam (B) with the marked positions
when tightening.. Use a new self-locking nut on reassembly.. Tighten allthe mounting hardware to the
specified torque values.. Use a new spindle nut on reassembly.. Before installing the spindle nut, apply a small
amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the
nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the
spindle nut shoulder against the driveshaft.. Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating
surface of the hub and the inside of the brake
drsc.. Use a new hub cap on reassembly.. Before installing the wheel, clean the mating
surface of the brake disc and the inside of the
wheel.. Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if
necessary {see page 18-4).

Disassembly/lnspection
1. Compress the damper spring with a commercially
available strut compressor (A) according to the
manufacturer's instructions. then remove the self-
locking nut (B)while holding the damper shaft (C)
with a hex wrench (D). Do not compress the spring
more than necessarv to remove the nut.
Release the pressure from the strut spring
compressor, then disassemble the damper as
shown ln the Exploded View.
Reassemble all the pans, except for the spring.
Compress the damper assembly by hand, and
check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension. The damper
should extend smoothly and constantly when
compression is released. lf it does not, the gas is
leaking and the damper should be replaced.

4.
Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding
during these tests.

Reassembly
1. Install allthe partsexceptthe self-locking nutonto
the damper unit by referring to the Exploded View.
Align the bottom of the spring {A} and the stepped
part of the lower spring seat (B), and align the
damper mounting base as shown,
