1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it withsafety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
2. Remove the front wheel.
3. Remove the self-locking nut (A) and the flange nut (B) while holding the respective joint pin (C) with a
hex wrench (D), then remove the stabilizer link (E).
4. Install the stabilizer link on the stabilizer bar (F) and the lower arm (G) with the joint pins set at the
center of their range of the movement.
NOTE: The stabilizer link has a paint mark (H). Align
the paint mark on the stabilizer link facing rearward.
5. Install the new self-locking nut and the new flange nut, and tighten them to the specified torque values
while holding the respective joint pin with a hex

NOTE: When compressing the damper spring, use a
commercially available strut spring compressor
(Branick MST-580A or Model 7200, or equivalent)
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Remove the cap (A) from the top of the damper.
2. Compress the damper spring, then remove the self- locking nut (A) using the strut nut adapter, a ratchet
or breaker bar while holding the damper shaft with
a hex wrench (B). Do not compress the spring more
than necessary to remove the nut.
3. Release the pressure from the strut spring compressor, then disassemble the damper as
shown in the Exploded View. 1. Reassemble the damper mounting base and the
self-locking nut.
2. 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. If it does not, the gas is
leaking, and the damper should be replaced.
3. Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, or binding during these tests.
