How to service and repair the front shock absorber on 2007 Toyota Highlander?

Service and repair of the front shock absorber starts by removing the front wheel but requires that you separate the front stabilizer link assembly LH through nut removal because a turning ball joint necessitates holding the stud with a 6 mm hexagon wrench. The service technician should loosen the lock nut on the front shock absorber yet avoid complete removal unless performing front shock absorber assembly disassembly with coil spring missing. After loosening these components it is essential to disconnect the front flexible hose No. 1 and speed sensor front LH wire harness before removing the 2 lower nuts and bolts and 3 upper nuts from the front shock absorber with coil spring. Secure the front shock absorber with coil spring in a vise using a double nutted bolt at the bottom, then compress the front coil spring LH using Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 (09727-00010, 09727-00021) and remove 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. The shock absorber assembly front LH needs inspection through at least 4 motions of rod compression and extension while checking for unusual resistance or noise; replace if any issues occur. The installation requires placing front coil spring insulator lower LH onto the shock absorber assembly front LH before attaching front spring bumper LH to the piston rod. After repeating front coil spring LH compression through the same Special Service Tool use, install front coil spring LH by checking if the lower end fits within the spring insulator lower LH gap. First install the front coil insulator upper LH and front coil spring seat upper LH oriented with their marks visible outward. Next add a new front suspension support bearing LH while installing the front suspension support sub-assembly LH. This process requires a temporary lock nut tightening followed by gradual removal of the Special Service Tool to drop the coil spring. Install the front shock absorber with coil spring by securing its upper side with three nuts at 80 Nm torque and after installing two lower side bolts and nuts at 230 Nm torque proceed with front flexible hose No.1 and speed sensor wire harness front LH installation at 19 Nm torque and lastly tighten the lock nut to 49 Nm torque. The mechanics should first install the front wheel at 103 Nm torque before tightening the front stabilizer link assembly LH and its nut to 74 Nm. The installation process demands front wheel alignment check-up and re-adjustment. Extending the shock absorber rod before drilling a hole into the cylinder allows gas discharge from inside but necessary safety equipment must be used because metal shards exist and the colorless, odorless, nonpoisonous gas poses risks.
