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.

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.

only a lint-free cloth.
Inspection
1. Inspect both the piston and bore for scoring or pitting. Bores that show light scratches or corrosion can usuallybe cleared of the light scratches or corrosion using crocus cloth.
2. Remove deposits on the piston using a soft brass wire brush or a rough shop towel. Do not clean piston with a polishing or emery cloth because this will damage the chrome-plated surface. Replace the piston if the chrome
plated surface is damaged. If the piston is jammed or if the cylinder bores are scored or rusted, replace the
complete brake caliper. Remove small, light rust spots in the cylinder bore with a polishing cloth.
3. Inspect the caliper guide sleeves for smooth oper- ation. Repair and grease caliper sleeves as
necessary.
Assemble
NOTE :
•Always have clean hands when assembling a brake caliper.
• Always use fresh, clean brake fluid when assembling a brake caliper.
• Never use an old piston seal.
• Bleed the brakes as necessary.

Do not use a screwdriver or other metal tool for seal removal. Using such tools can scratch the
bore or leave burrs on the seal groove edges.
5. Using a soft tool such as a plastic trim stick (1),work the piston seal (2) out of its groove in caliper
piston bore. Discard the used seal.

only a lint-free cloth.

rust spots in front of the groove for the piston seal using fine-grit emery paper (grit size 380 to 500).
3. Inspect the caliper seal rings. Repair the seal rings as necessary.
