Coil Spring, Front

The first step to change a front shock absorber with coil spring starts by detaching the front wheel followed by removing the front wiper arm head cap. The first step includes uninstalling the front wiper arms LH and RH before extracting the hood to cowl top seal. First unfasten both the cowl top ventilator louver LH and RH before handling the windshield wiper motor and link. A wooden block on top of a jack supporting the front suspension lower No. 1 arm allows you to disconnect the front stabilizer link by removing its nut from the shock absorber with coil spring. A 6 mm hexagon wrench prevents the ball joint from turning by gripping the stud. The first step to remove the front shock absorber with coil spring involves disconnecting the front flexible hose No. 1 and the speed sensor front LH wire harness by removing the bolt. The removal operation requires complete disconnection of the speed sensor front LH from the front shock absorber. You should first keep bolts inserted while removing the 2 nuts on the lower side of the front shock absorber with coil spring. After that, remove all 3 nuts. The jack descent should occur at a slow pace while front shock absorber with coil spring bolts and speed sensor front LH must be completely separated from each other.

Remove the nut and spacer from the rear shock absorber with coil spring (lower side).
