Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Front Coil Spring
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.

Front Strut
Disassemble
NOTE :
The strut assembly must be removed from the vehicle for it to be disassembled and assembled. For the disassembly
and assembly of the strut assembly, use a strut spring compressor, or the equivalent, to compress the coil spring.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.1. Remove the front strut assembly (See Front Strut Removal & Installation in Section 10 Suspension).
2. If both struts are being serviced at the same time, mark both the coil springs and strut assemblies according to which side of the vehicle the strut is being removed from.
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. If the spring compressor fixture is unable to attachto a workbench, attach the spring compressor to a
bench vise.
4. Position the strut assembly in the strut coil spring compressor following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and set the lower and upper hooks of the
compressor on the coil spring.
5. Loosen the spring compressor, then attach the clamps between the top and bottom of the spring.
6. Compress the coil spring until all coil spring tension is removed from the upper mount and bearing.
CAUTION:
Never use impact or high speed tools to remove the strut rod nut. Damage to the strut internal
bearings can occur.
