Disassembly and Assembly

INFOID:0000000012199118

DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

Never damage strut assembly piston rod when removing components from strut assembly.

1. Install strut attachment (A) [SST: ST35652000 ( — )] to strut

assembly and secure it in a vise.

CAUTION:

When installing the strut attachment to strut assembly,

wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect from damage.

2. Using a spring compressor (A) (commercial service tool), com-

press coil spring between spring upper seat and lower seat

(strut assembly) until coil spring with a spring compressor is

free.

CAUTION:

Be sure a spring compressor is securely attached to coil

spring. Compress coil spring.

3. Check coil spring with a spring compressor between spring

upper seat and lower seat (strut assembly) is free. And then

remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston rod tip so

that piston rod does not turn.

4. Remove mounting insulator, mounting bearing, and bound

bumper from strut.

5. After removing coil spring with a spring compressor (commercial service tool), then gradually release a

spring compressor.

CAUTION:

Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.

6. Remove lower rubber seat.
7. Remove strut attachment [SST: ST35652000 ( — )] from strut assembly.
8. Perform inspection after disassembly. Refer to

FSU-12, "Inspection"

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

Never damage strut assembly piston rod when installing components from strut assembly.

1. Install strut attachment [SST: ST35652000 ( — )] to strut and secure it in a vise.

CAUTION:

When installing the strut attachment to strut assembly, wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect

from damage.

2. Install lower rubber seat.
3. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), and install it onto strut assem-

bly.

CAUTION:

• Be sure a compressor is securely attached to coil spring. Compress coil spring.

• Be careful with the vertical direction of the coil spring.

• Set coil spring so that its paint (A) mark is aligned with the

position of 1.75 turns from the bottom end of the coil

spring.

• Align the lower end of coil spring (1) with (A) of lower rub-

ber seat (2) as shown in the figure.

4. Apply soapy water to bound bumper.

CAUTION:

Never use machine oil.

5. Insert bound bumper into mounting insulator.
6. Install mounting bearing.

CAUTION:

Never apply oils, such as grease, when installing the

mounting bearing.

7. Check the location of identification mark (A) of the mounting

insulator and install it with the arrow (B) faced outside of the

vehicle to the strut.

NOTE:

The identification mark "0" shows right mounting insulator and

"1" shows left.

8. Secure piston rod tip so that piston rod does not turn, then

tighten piston rod lock nut with specified torque.

CAUTION:

Never reuse piston rod lock nut.

9. Gradually release a spring compressor (A) (commercial service

tool), and remove coil spring.

CAUTION:

Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position

does not move.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Check the following items, and replace the parts if necessary.

Strut

• Strut for deformation, cracks or damage.

• Piston rod for damage, uneven wear or distortion.

• Oil leakage.

Strut Mounting Insulator and bound bumper

Check strut mounting insulator and bound bumper for cracks, wear or damage.

Coil Spring

Check coil spring for cracks, wear or damage.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

1. Check wheel sensor harness for proper connector. Refer to

BRC-147, "FRONT WHEEL SENSOR :

Exploded View"

2. Check wheel alignment. Refer to

FSU-7, "Inspection"

3. Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to

BRC-63, "Work Procedure"

Disposal

INFOID:0000000012199120

1. Set strut assembly horizontally to the ground with the piston rod fully extracted.
2. Drill 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in) hole at the position ( ) from top

as shown in the figure to release gas gradually.

CAUTION:

• Wear eye protection (safety glasses).

• Wear gloves.

• Be careful with metal chips or oil blown out by the com-

pressed gas.

NOTE:

• Drill vertically in this direction.

• Directly to the outer tube avoiding brackets.

• The gas is clear, colorless, odorless, and harmless.

3. Position the drilled hole downward and drain oil by moving the piston rod several times.

CAUTION:

Dispose of drained oil according to the law and local regulations.
