CAUTION:

• Always install strut support bar with tires on level ground.
• When installing strut support bar bracket, always install in numerical order according to the follow-

ing.

- Temporarily tighten mounting bolt (A) to strut housing.
- Tighten mounting nuts (B) to shock absorber to the specified torque.
- Tighten mounting bolts (A) to strut housing to the specified torque.
• When removing strut support bar mounting bolts, check bolts and washers for damage of surface
