Refer to FSU-5, "Components" in “Front Suspension Assembly” for tightening torque. Tighten in the
reverse order of removal.

Be sure arrows on strut mount insulator and spring upper seat
are positioned as shown. Also be sure notch in strut spacer is
positioned as shown. Then install strut.

Assemble upper mounting plate with its notch facing toward the
outside.
Disassembly and AssemblyEES00075
DISASSEMBLY
1. Install strut attachment (SST) to strut and fix it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing strut attachment (SST), wrap a shop cloth
around strut to protect it from damage.
2. Slightly loosen piston rod lock nut.
WARNING:
Do not remove piston rod lock nut completely. If it is
removed completely, coil spring jumps out and may cause
serious damage or injury.
3. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor.
WARNING:
Make sure that the pawls of the two spring compressors are firmly hooked on the spring. The
spring compressors must be tightened alternately so as not to tilt the spring.
4. After making sure coil spring is free between upper and lower seats after Step 3. Remove piston rod lock
nut.
5. Remove small parts on strut.

Remove strut spacer, strut mount insulator, strut mounting insulator bracket thrust bearing, spring upper
seat, and upper rubber seat. Then remove coil spring.
6. Remove bound bumper from spring upper seat.
7. Gradually release spring compressor (commercial service tool), and remove coil spring.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Strut

Check strut for deformation, cracks, and damage, and replace if necessary.
