Coil Spring, Driver Side

Install the coil spring onto the body so its lower end points towards the rear before securing the 3 nuts on top of the front shock absorber with coil spring at 64 Nm (653 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf). Tighten the bolt together with its nut and washer as per the provided illustration. Put on the tie rod end sub-assembly before adding the front stabilizer bar. First attach the left-hand front stabilizer link assembly to the steering knuckle through its nut before setting torque to 70 Nm (714 kgf-cm, 52 ft-lbf); when the ball joint moves with the nut usage requires a 6 mm hexagon wrench to secure the stud. The method of installing the right-hand side matches precisely with the left-hand procedure. Install the engine under cover sub-assembly and tighten the bolts to 29 Nm while completing the process by attaching the front wheels and tightening to 112 Nm. Stabilize the suspension through jacking up then bouncing down the vehicle multiple times. Tighten the front shock absorber nut that features the coil spring to 135 Nm (1,377 kgf-cm, 100 ft-lbf) while performing wheel alignment adjustment and inspection of the assembly.

Use Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to separate the two brake tubes while catching any brake fluid in a container.

Install the front shock absorber cushion retainer and align the suspension support with the absorber bush, fitting and tightening a new lock nut to a torque of 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf), avoiding the use of an impact wrench.

First, remove the front wheels and the engine under cover sub-assembly.
