2006 Toyota Highlander Shock Absorber Parts Q&A
Q: How to effectively service and repair a shock absorber on 2006 Toyota Highlander?
A: Service and repair procedures for the front strut assembly start with front wheel removal and after that separate the front stabilizer link assembly LH from shock absorber assembly front LH by unfastening the component nut while stabilizing the ball joint using a 6 mm hexagon wrench. Begin by leaving the lock nut in place and loosen it. The technician should disconnect both the front flexible hose No. 1 and speed sensor front LH wire harness before unscrewing the 2 lower bolts and nuts which secure the front shock absorber with coil spring. The technician must avoid rotating any of the bolts during this process. Detach all 3 nuts from the upper front shock absorber with coil spring before removing it and disconnecting the speed sensor at the same time. Secure the front shock absorber with coil spring inside a vise clamp and fix it around a double nutted bolt at the absorber's bottom section. Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 (09727-00010, 09727-00021) can be used to compress the front coil spring LH before removing the front suspension support sub-assembly LH, front suspension support bearing LH, front coil spring seat upper LH, front coil spring insulator upper LH, front coil spring LH, front spring bumper LH, and front coil spring insulator lower LH from the shock absorber assembly front LH. Use the specified service tool 09727-30021 to evaluate the shock absorber front LH assembly by moving its rod between extended and compressed positions at least 4 times while listening for irregular sounds or excessive resistance; if abnormal indications appear, change the assembly. Place the front coil spring insulator lower LH onto the shock absorber assembly front LH and then install the front spring bumper LH onto the piston rod. Use the Special Service Tool to condense the front coil spring LH and position it correctly with its lower end inside the spring insulator lower LH gap. The installation process begins with front coil insulator upper LH placement having its mark facing outward followed by front coil spring seat upper LH with mark facing outward as well as a new front suspension support bearing LH. After placing the new lock nut loosely, carefully extract the Special Service Tool to let the coil spring go. Fasten the front shock absorber and its coil spring by applying torque of 80 Nm to the upper-side nuts while securing 3 nuts with a 816 kgf-cm (80 Nm, 59 ft.lb.) torque value and then torquing 2 bolts and nuts on the lower side to 230 Nm (2,350 kgf-cm, 170 ft.lb.s). Maintain proper bolt orientation during nut tightening. To install the front flexible hose No. 1 and speed sensor wire harness front LH combine the bolt with 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm) torque then fully tighten the lock nut to 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm). Reinstall the front wheel by torquing it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) and inspect and adjust the front wheel alignment afterward. The shock absorber assembly front LH requires disposal by extending the rod fully and drilling a hole through the cylinder to vent the gas before utilizing proper safety gear due to metal fragments and the gas not being poisonous or having odor or color.
