Strut

The first step when servicing or repairing the suspension strut requires you to align the front wheel directly forward to protect the steering gear. The service begins by removing both the front wheel followed by the disconnection and unclamping of the flexible hose as well as the ABS speed sensor wire harness by removing the bolt. Before installing the shock absorber with coil spring, begin by first disconnecting it from the steering knuckle using two nuts and bolts then remove three nuts attached to the shock absorber. Begin by applying engine oil to the shock absorber's 3 nuts then install it with the coil spring using torque of 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.). Insert the shock absorber to the steering knuckle and apply engine oil on the 2 nuts before tightening the 2 bolts and nuts to 132 Nm (1,350 kgf-cm, 97 ft. lbs.). The installation requires connecting the ABS speed sensor wire harness clamp and flexible hose to the shock absorber but torquing them to 29 Nm (300 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.). Wind up the installation of the front wheel by tightening it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) and verify the front wheel alignment.

Next, take off the door scuff plate and door opening trim, followed by the quarter trim (removing the bolt and rear seat outer belt first).

Coat the threads of the 2 nuts with engine oil, then install the 2 bolts and nuts, torquing them to 132 Nm (1,350 kgf.cm, 97 ft. lbs.).
