Description
A MacPherson type strut assembly is used in place of the traditional front suspension upper control arm and upper
ball joint. The bottom of the strut mounts directly to the steering knuckle using two attaching bolts and nuts going
through the strut clevis bracket and steering knuckle. The top of the strut mounts directly to the strut tower of the
vehicle using the three threaded studs on the strut assembly’s upper mount.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation
The strut assembly cushions the ride of the vehicle, controlling vibration, jounce and rebound of the suspension. The
coil spring controls ride quality and maintains proper ride height. The spring isolators isolate the coil spring at the top
and bottom from coming into metal-to-metal contact with the upper mounting seat and the strut. The strut dampens
jounce and rebound motions of the coil spring and suspension.
Diagnosis & Testing
Before removing the front strut, perform the following to test the front strut functionality:
•Adjust the tire pressure to all tires to proper specifications.
• Push and shake the front of the vehicle three or four times with identical force every time
• During the pushing and recoiling, the resistance and recoil times of the vehicle should be equal.
• If the strut (shock absorber) functions properly, the vehicle will recoil several times and then stop recoiling after
the pushing force is removed.
Removal & Installation
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts and the wheel assembly.
(Tighten: Wheel mounting nuts to 110 N·m)
3. Disconnect the brake fluid hose clamp (1) from the brake fluid hose bracket on the front strut.
4. Remove the brake fluid hose from the bracket.
5. Remove the wheel speed sensor wire.
6. Remove the nut (1) from the front stabilizer bar link bracket on the front strut.
(Tighten: Front stabilizer bar link bracket nut to
48 ± 6 N·m)

Description
A coil-over front strut assembly supports each front coil spring. The top of the strut assembly mounts to the strut
tower.
Operation
Coil springs are designed to store energy and subsequently release it and to absorb shock and maintain a force
between contacting surfaces. Coil springs are rated for specific vehicle applications.
NOTE :
Each component is serviced by removing the strut assembly from the vehicle and disassembling it. Coil springs are
rated separately for each corner or side of the vehicle depending on optional equipment and type of vehicle service.
If a coil spring requires replacement, be sure that it is replaced with a spring meeting the correct load rating for the
vehicle and its specific options.
Removal & Installation
CAUTION:
At no time when servicing a vehicle can a sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be
installed into the strut tower to take the place of an original plastic clamp. Also, do not drill holes
into the front strut tower for the installation of any metal fasteners into the strut tower area indi-
cated.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front strut assembly (See Front Strut Removal & Installation in Section 10 Suspension).
WARNING!
Do not remove the strut rod nut before the coil spring is properly compressed. The coil spring is held under
pressure. The coil spring must be compressed, removing spring tension from the upper mount and bearing,
before the strut rod nut is removed.
3. Position the strut assembly in the strut coil springcompressor following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and set the lower and upper hooks of the
compressor on the coil spring.
4. Compress the coil spring until all coil spring tension is removed from the upper mount and bearing.
5. Once the spring is sufficiently compressed, install the strut nut wrench on the strut rod nut.
6. Install a deep socket on the end of the strut rod.
