Assembly
S7RS0B2206004
WARNING!
Use a regular coil spring compressor and
follow the operation procedure described in
the Instruction Manual.

Disassembly 1) Attach special tool (A) to coil spring as shown. Turn special tool bolts alternat ely until coil spring tension
is released. Rotate the strut around its axis to
confirm that the coil spring is released or not.
Special tool
(A): 09940-71431
2) While keeping coil spring compressed with special
tools as shown, remove strut support lower nut.
Special tool
(B): 09900-00411 socket
(C): 09900-00414 6 mm
3) Disassemble strut assembly. Assembly
For assembly, reverse disassembly procedure, noting
the following instructions.
1) Compress coil spring with special tool (A) until total
length becomes about 280 mm (11.0 in.) as shown.
Special tool
(A): 09940–71431
Length
“a”: 280 mm (11.0 in.)
2) Install compressed coil spring to strut, and place coil
spring end (2) onto spring lower seat (1) as shown.
NOTE
End of coil spring must not interfere with
step of spring lower seat.

• Inspect strut for oil leakage, damage or deformation.
• If defect is found, replace strut as an assembly unit, because it can not be disassembled.
• Inspect strut function re ferring to the following
procedures:
1) Check and adjust tire pressures as specified.
2) Bounce vehicle body up and down 3 or 4 times continuously by pushing front end of the vehicle side
body to check strut.
Also, note how many times vehicle body rebounds to
stop after force application.
3) Repeat the same procedure to the other strut to confirm that the both side struts equally respond.
If conditions of struts are in doubt, compare them with
known-good vehicle or strut.
• Inspect bearing for wear, abnormal noise or gripping. If defective, replace.
• Inspect coil spring seat for cracks or deformation.
If defective, replace.
• Inspect bump stopper for deterioration. If defective, replace.
• Inspect rebound stopper and strut mount for wear, cracks or deformation.
If defective, replace.
