• Q: How to remove the front shock absorber with coil springs on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: Starting the shock absorber removel process requires front wiper arm head cap removal before handling left and right front wiper arm assemblies and blades. Start by removing the hood to cowl top seal and proceeding to the next step where you take out the right and left cowl top ventilator louvers and finally remove the front wiper motor together with its link. Start by taking away the front air shutter seal from the right side followed by the removal of the outer cowl top panel. To proceed with the front stabilizer link assembly separation disconnect the stabilizer link from the shock absorber by removing the nut while using a socket hexagon wrench 6 to stabilize the stud if it rotates with the nut. After disconnecting the speed sensor and its flexible hose begin to separate the front flexible hose by unscrewing its bolt. To detach the front shock absorber with coil spring users must remove its 2 nuts and 2 bolts from the steering knuckle while keeping the bolt stationary during nut removal to separate the shock absorber from the steering knuckle. Use a socket hexagon wrench 6 to fix the shock absorber rod and remove its nut as the first step in shock absorber removal which requires you to take out the No. 2 suspension support and finally detach the front shock absorber with coil spring from the vehicle.
