The strut assembly cushions the ride of the vehicle, controlling vibration, jounce and rebound of the suspension. The
coil spring controls ride quality and maintains proper ride height. The spring isolators isolate the coil spring at the top
and bottom from coming into metal-to-metal contact with the upper mounting seat and the strut. The strut dampens
jounce and rebound motions of the coil spring and suspension.
Diagnosis & Testing
Before removing the front strut, perform the following to test the front strut functionality:
•Adjust the tire pressure to all tires to proper specifications.
• Push and shake the front of the vehicle three or four times with identical force every time
• During the pushing and recoiling, the resistance and recoil times of the vehicle should be equal.
• If the strut (shock absorber) functions properly, the vehicle will recoil several times and then stop recoiling after
the pushing force is removed.
Removal & Installation
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheel assembly.
(Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
3. Disconnect the brake fluid hose clamp (1) from the brake fluid hose bracket on the front strut.
4. Remove the brake fluid hose from the bracket.
5. Remove the wheel speed sensor wire.
6. Remove the nut (1) from the front stabilizer bar link bracket on the front strut.
(Tighten: Front stabilizer bar link bracket nut to
48 ± 6 N·m)

Only frame contact or wheel lift hoisting equipment can be used on this vehicle. It cannot be hoisted using
equipment designed to lift a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting equipment is used, damage to rear
suspension components will occur.
CAUTION:
If a rear suspension component becomes bent, damaged or fails, no attempt should be made to
straighten or repair it. Always replace it with a new component.
Operation
The rear suspension utilizes an independent multi-link arm design. This suspension system allows the wheels to
react to road imperfections independent of each other. This independent action offers improved isolation from the
effects of jounce and rebound.
