2008 Toyota Matrix Shock Absorber Parts Q&A
Q: How to install the front shock absorber assembly LH on 2008 Toyota Matrix?
A: Installation of the left-hand side front shock absorber assembly begins by inserting the front coil spring insulator lower LH onto the assembly followed by placing the front spring bumper LH on the shock absorber piston rod. The front coil spring LH needs compression using Special Service Tool: 09729-22031 and avoid using an impact wrench to prevent tool damage. Insert the lower end of the front coil spring LH into the spring lower seat gap and place the front coil spring insulator upper LH together with the front coil spring seat upper LH. Guider the installation with the mark's exterior position. The installation continues by attaching both the front suspension support LH dust seal followed by the front suspension support sub-assembly LH. After securing the special service tool on the front coil spring seat upper LH, install a new nut to 47 Nm (479 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf) then detach the tool to set the front suspension support dust cover LH. Apply MP grease No. 2 to the suspension support sub-assembly LH without greasing the rubber surface of the upper support. Install the front shock absorber with coil spring through its two bolts after securing the upper section with three torque-expecting nuts at 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf) and using two bolts and nuts at 220 Nm (2,243 kgf-cm, 162 ft-lbf). Keep the bolt stationary during the torque application process for the nuts. The installation of the front flexible hose requires a bolt torque of 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf) when the vehicle comes with ABS technology, yet it needs only this torque value without ABS features. Install the front stabilizer link assembly LH by torquing its nut to 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55 ft-lbf) but use a 6 mm hexagon wrench to secure the stud when the ball joint rotates with the nut. End the procedure by installing the front wheel and torquing it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf), then conduct a front wheel alignment inspection process.
