CAUTION!
When rebound stopper and strut assembly
were removed, check strut support lower nut
for specified torque before installing strut
assembly.

Removal
1) Remove hood rear seal (1), and then remove cowl
top garnish (2) from vehicle.
NOTE
When servicing component parts of strut
assembly, beforehand loosen strut nut a little
before removing strut assembly. This will
make service work easier. Note that the nut

2) Hoist vehicle, allowing front suspension to hang free.
3) Remove wheel and disconnect stabilizer joint (1)
from strut bracket.
When loosening joint nut, hold stud with hexagon
wrench (2).4) Remove brake hose mounting bolt (1). Remove
brake hose (2) from bracket and wheel speed sensor
harness (3) from strut bracket as shown in figure.
5) Remove strut bracket bolts and nuts (4).
6) Remove strut nut (1), and remove rebound stopper
(2).
