〔４〕Front suspension removal

（１）Remove the cowl top cover

1. Open the hood, remove the ( ), and

remove the ( ) mounting nuts (one on each
side).

2. ( ) the wiper arm, remove the wiper arm from

the vehicle.

3. Remove the front wiper ( ).

4. Remove the mating of the side rubber, remove the (

).

5. Remove the resin clip of the ( ),

remove the cowl top cover.

6. Disconnect the ( ) connector.

7. Remove the wiper drive mounting bolts, remove the (

).

8. Remove the cowl top mounting bolts, remove the ( ).

（２）Removing wheels with tire

Remove the four wheel nuts and remove the wheel with tires.

Order of loosening wheel nuts

（３）Strut removal

1. Remove the ( ), remove the ( ) from the strut.

2. Remove the wheel speed sensor mounting bolts, remove the ( ).

3. Remove the stabilizer connecting rod mounting nut, disconnect the (
) from the strut.

4. Remove the two bolts and disconnect the front struts from the ( ).

【 Reference 】

When tightened with bolts and nuts, ( ) the nut side because the bolt side is (
) tightened.

After removing the bolt, ( ) the (

) with an S-shaped hook or the like.

5. Remove the three mount insulator mounting bolts and

remove the ( ).

〔５〕 Strut disassembly

1. Install the strut attachment（SST）to the strut, fixed to the device.

2. Using a ( ), compress the coil spring until it is free.

■ Caution ■

Make sure that the spring compressor is ( ) attached to

the coil spring ( ) compressing the coil spring.

3. Make sure that the coil spring is compressed and ( ), fix

the tip of the ( ) with a ( ) so that
the piston rod does not ( ), and remove the piston rod
lock nut.

4. Remove the mount insulator, mount bearing and bound

bumper from the struts.

〔６〕Spring type

Name figure Advantages Disadvantages

The structure is (
).
( ) There is a vibration
spring damping action by (
) between the (
).
Excellent in
( ) the
( ) impact. Because it is (
spring ), the ride is very
( ).
It is easy to (
) and
( ) noise is
likely to occur.
Since there is (
) between the plates like
a leaf spring, the
vibration
( )
is small.
 Name figure Advantages Disadvantages
( ) and ( ) The damping action is (
structure. ) like the ( )
( ) Space ( ) is spring.
spring good because it is (
) and ( ).

Even if the load changes, The structure is

the vehicle ( ) ( ) and
can be kept ( ( ).
( ) ).
spring There is little difference
in
( )
when empty or loaded.

〔７〕Types of shock absorber

Name figure Advantages Disadvantages

Stroke is easy to
( ).
Since the enclosed
( ) can
be lowered, the (
( ) ) tends to be excellent.
Even if the shell case is
slightly
( ), the function
of the shock absorber is
( ).
Since the oil capacity can
be
( ), there is a
( ) heat
capacity,
and a stable damping force
can be (
( )
for a
( ).
There is (
)
on the mounting (
)
to the car body.
Due to the structure, it is
difficult to ( ) oil
capacity, so there is (
) for heat capacity.
Structurally, the mounting
( ) of the shock
absorber to the vehicle
body is
( ).
Since the ( ) chamber
and the ( ) chamber
are divided and arranged in
( ),
a( )
cannot be secured.
) If the case is ( )
by a rock jump, the inner
cylinder will be (
).
〔８〕Strut assembly

1. Attach the strut attachment (SST) to the strut and secure it to the vise.

2. Using a spring compressor, compress the coil spring and set it on the strut.

■ Caution ■

Align the large diameter side of the coil spring with the (
) and the ( ) with the figure position of the (
).

3. Insert the bound bumper.

4. Install the mount insulator and mount bearing.

■ Caution ■

Check if the ( ) of the mount insulator is set

in the position ( ).

5. ( ) the tip of the piston rod so that the piston rod does not
rotate, and tighten the ( ) to the specified torque.

　Torque: ( ) N・m

6. ( ) the spring compressor and remove it from the coil spring.

■ Caution ■

Loosen while checking that the ( ) of the spring ( ).

7. Remove the strut attachment from the strut.

〔９〕Strut mounting
Attach the ( ) mounting bolts three, attach the mount insulator.

　Torque: ( ) N・m

■ Caution ■

Make sure that the mount insulator ( ) are facing the (

) before attaching the struts to the vehicle.

2. Remove the ( ) that supports the knuckle, and attach the two
connecting bolts for the strut and knuckle.

　Torque: ( ) N・m

3. Install the ( ) connecting rod by the

stabilizer connecting rod mounting nut.

　Torque: ( ) N・m

4. Install the ( ) with the

wheel speed sensor mounting bolts.
　Torque: ( ) N・m

5. Attach the ( ) to the strut with the lock plate.
