How to install the front shock absorber with coil spring on 2008 Toyota Prius?

Start the front shock absorber with coil spring installation by attaching it to the steering knuckle through 2 front bolts from the vehicle. First place a wooden block between the shock absorber and a jack before you lift the jack slowly to position the upper shock absorber section at the vehicle and tighten the 3 nuts to 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). The installation of shock absorber consists of using 2 nuts to fasten it to the steering knuckle at 153 Nm (1,560 kgf-cm, 113 ft-lbf). Additionally, a bolt serves to connect the front flexible hose No. 1 and the speed sensor front LH while ensuring speed sensor protection from twisting during installation with a torque of 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). The front shock absorber and front stabilizer link assembly LH must connect with a nut that reaches 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55 ft-lbf) torque after securing the stud with 6mm hexagon wrenches that prevent ball joint rotation. Install the windshield wiper motor followed by the link and continue with the installation of the cowl top ventilator louver LH and RH and hood to cowl top seal then mount the front wiper arms LH and RH followed by their caps. Installation of the front wheel should be completed after torquing to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) while conducting necessary front wheel alignment checks.
