In the event that the separation of the strut is needed the damper shaft nut does not require total removal but only requires slackening. The other mounting points are three other bolts which hold the struts to the body top of the axle carrier, other mounting points are two bolts which hold the lower end of the strut to the axle carrier; to replace the strut one has to first unbolt the three nuts which are at the upper side where the struts are mounted to the body then you lower the axle carrier, next remove the two bolts holding the strut to the axle carrier then take For test, it is necessary to decide whether the strut assembly requires disassembling for replacing the strut or coil spring-as on the 2004 and later Lexus models with modulated air suspension, a dysfunctional strut assembly would need replacing.

Seat the axle carrier and get it bearing on the strut lower bracket then tighten the bolts and nuts accordingly to the torque specifications. Secure the link of the stabilizer bar to the strut bracket, then install the hydraulic brake hose bracket and the wiring harness of the wheel speed sensor, then secure the wheel and tighten the lug nuts and subsequently lower the vehicle and again tighten the lug nuts to the recommended torque. Last of all, torque the three upper strut mounting nuts to the set torque and install any interior trim over the mounting fasteners.
