3.
Disconnect the front strut assembly (C) with the front lower arm by loosening the bolt & nuts (B).
Tightening torque:
140.0 ~ 160.0 N.m (14.0 ~ 16.0 kgf.m, 101.0 ~ 116.0 lb-ft)

4.
Remove the split pin and castle nuts (A).
Tightening torque:
78.5 ~ 88.3 N.m (8.0 ~ 9.0 kgf.m, 57.9 ~ 65.1 lb-ft)

8.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
9.
Check the alignment.
(Refer to Tires/Wheels - "Alignment")
Disassembly
1.
Compress the coil spring with a strut spring compressor. Do not compress the spring more than necessary.
2.
Disconnect the cover (A) remove the lock nut (B).
Tightening torque:
24.5 ~ 29.4 N.m (2.5 ~ 3.0 kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 18.1 lb-ft)

3.
Gradually turn the bolt on the spring compressor to slowly release the tension from the spring. Then, disconnect the components.
4.
Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly.
   
•
Do not reuse the self locking nut.
•
Set the hook with bilateral symmetry and the press the coil spring.

•
The centerline of shock absorber is not aligned with coil spring, push the shock absorber to align the centerline.

Inspection
1.
Check the components for damage or deformation.
2.
Compress and extend the piston rod and check that there is no abnormal resistance or unusual sound during operation.
3.
When disposing the shock absorber, fully extend the piston rod (A) and then drill a hole on the B section to discharge gas from the cylinder.
   
The gas coming out is harmless, but be careful of chips that may fly when drilling. Be sure to wear safety goggles or eye protection when performing this task.
