How to remove and replace the coil springs on 2009 Toyota Prius?

Question

Accepted Answer

The procedure for coil spring removal and replacement starts with installing the front shock absorber with coil spring on the LH side following the steps used on the RH side. Position the two bolts through the front access point of the vehicle to join the front shock absorber with coil spring to the steering knuckle. Use a jack to raise the wooden block while mounting the front shock absorber upper side including coil spring to the vehicle through the jack opening before tightening the 3 nuts at a torque of 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Fasten the front shock absorber with coil spring to the steering knuckle through 2 nuts which must be torqued to 153 Nm (1,560 kgf-cm, 113 ft-lbf). After that, set up the front flexible hose No. 1 and the speed sensor front LH by connecting them to the shock absorber with a bolt. Maintain the speed sensor front undistorted during installation and torque the bolt to 19 Nm (192 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). A 6 mm hexagon wrench must hold the stud while the ball joint does not turn when installing the front stabilizer link assembly LH to the front shock absorber with coil spring using a nut which should be torqued to 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55 ft-lbf). The windshield wiper motor and link joins the cowl top ventilator louver ends with the hood to cowl top seal and the front wiper arms RH and LH with their corresponding head caps. Completion of the work requires front wheel installation followed by torque application to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Inspect the front wheel alignment during the final stages.
