ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Make sure piston rod on strut is not damaged when attaching components to strut.
1. Install strut attachment (SST) to strut and fix it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing strut attachment (SST) to strut, wrap a shop
cloth around strut to protect it from damage.
2. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), and install it onto strut. CAUTION:
Face tube side of coil spring downward. Align lower end
to spring rubber seat as shown in the figure.
Be sure spring compressor (commercial service tool) is
securely attached to coil spring. Compress coil spring.
3. Apply soapy water to bound bumper and insert into mounting insulator.
CAUTION:
Do not use machine oil.
4. Install mounting insulator bracket, mounting bearing, bound bumper, spring upper seat, spring upper rubber seat and spring
lower rubber seat.
Installation position of spring upper seat is as shown in the fig-
ure.
5. Fix mounting insulator, then tighten piston rod lock nut with specified torque.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to deform mounting insulator bracket.
6. Gradually release spring compressor (commercial service tool), and remove coil spring.
CAUTION:
Loosen spring compressor while making sure coil spring
attachment position does not move.
7. Remove strut attachment (SST) from strut.

Swing Torque Inspection
NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball joint at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
Hook spring balance at ball stud. Confirm spring balance mea-
surement value is within the specifications when ball stud begins
moving.
If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link
assembly.
Rotating Torque Inspection
Attach mounting nut to ball stud. Check that rotating torque is
within the specifications with a preload gauge (SST).
If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link
assembly.
Axial End Play Inspection
Move tip of ball joint in axial direction to check for looseness.
If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assembly.
INSTALLATION
Refer to FSU-8, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
After removing/installing or replacing suspension components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
