2. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor (commercial
service tool), and install it onto strut.
CAUTION:
• Face tube side of coil spring downward. Align the lower
end to spring lower seat as shown.
• Be sure spring compressor is securely attached to coil
spring. Compress coil spring.
3. Apply soapy water to bound bumper. Insert bound bumper into
strut mounting insulator.
CAUTION:
Do not use machine oil.
4. Attach strut mounting bearing and strut mounting insulator.
• Installation position of strut mounting insulator as shown.
5. Secure piston rod tip so that piston rod does not turn, then
tighten piston rod lock nut to specified torque.
6. Gradually release a spring compressor, and remove coil spring.
CAUTION:
Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position

TRANSVERSE LINK
TRANSVERSE LINK
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001703727
REMOVAL
1. Remove front tires using power tool.
2. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
3. Remove transverse link nuts and bolts, then remove transverse
link from front suspension member.
NOTE:
When removing LH transverse link it may be necessay to lower
the suspension member in order to remove bolts to avoid con-
tact with the transaxle.
a. Set jack under front suspension member.
b. Loosen RH upper link bolts, LH upper link bolt (front suspension
member side), front suspension member bolts (left/right). Lower
the front suspension member in order to remove transverse link
bolts.
4. Remove transverse link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check the following:
• Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
• Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if necessary.
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
• Hook a spring balance at the cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring
balance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assem-
bly.
Axial End Play Inspection
• Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torque, refer to FSU-9, "
Component" .
• Perform final tightening of bolts and at the front suspension member installation position (rubber bushing)
under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2, "
Precaution for
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"" .

REMOVAL
1. Separate intermediate shaft from steering gear pinion shaft. Refer to PS-9, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Remove front tires using power tool.
3. Remove the nut on the lower side of stabilizer connecting rod using power tool, and then remove stabilizer
connecting rod from stabilizer bar.
4. If necessary remove stabilize connecting rod upper nut using power tool. Separate stabilizer connecting
rod and strut.
5. Loose steering outer socket (1) nut.
6. Remove steering outer socket (1) from steering knuckle (2) so
as not to damage ball joint boot (3) using the ball joint remover
or suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads
and to prevent the ball joint remover (suitable tool) from
suddenly coming off.
7. Remove rear torque rod. Refer to EM-72, "
Component" .
8. Set jack under front suspension member.
9. Remove the bolts of member stay, and then remove member stay.
10. Gradually lower front suspension member in order to remove
stabilizer bolts.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to lower it too far. (Do not over load the
links.)
11. Remove the bolts of stabilizer clamp, and then remove stabilizer
clamp and stabilizer bushing.
12. Remove stabilizer bar.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check stabilizer bar, stabilizer connecting rod, stabilizer bushing, and stabilizer clamp for deformation, cracks,
and damage. Replace it if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torques, refer to FSU-9, "
Component" . Tool number : HT72520000 (J-25730-A)
