Coil Spring, Front

On the LH side of the front shock absorber with coil spring one must start by taking off the front suspension support plate LH from the shock absorber. The front suspension support dust cover LH needs removal using a screwdriver with taped tip while handling the LH side of the front suspension support dust cover. The specified Service Tools are used to compress the coil spring while securing it in the vise using 2 nuts and 2 bolts at the shock absorber's lower bracket. The wind-up procedure requires vinyl tape application to protect the coil spring from damage. It is crucial to refrain from holding the shock absorber by the spring lower seat when it lacks the coil spring since impact wrenches can harm Special Service Tool: 09729-22031. Special Service Tool: 09729-22031 should be used to hold the spring upper seat before removing the nut. Begin by taking off the front suspension support sub-assembly LH from the shock absorber and then detach the front suspension support LH dust seal.

The last step of this process includes detaching the front coil spring insulator lower LH from the shock absorber.
