   • The threads may be stripped, or the sudden compression may result in slack that causes the hooks to slip off, causing the spring to fly out and possibly resulting in injury.
4. Temporarily install the rear coil spring with SST and rear upper coil spring insulator to the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
   NOTE:

   • Make sure to install the rear coil spring with the identification mark facing downward.
   • Install the rear coil spring so that the identification mark is positioned as shown in the illustration.
   • If SST contacts the vehicle body, adjust the installation position of SST so that it does not contact the vehicle body.

   • The vehicle could fall, resulting in a serious accident.
   NOTE:

   • Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.
   • When jacking up the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.
   • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

   HINT: 

   Insert the bolt with the threaded end facing the front of the vehicle.

6. Remove SST from the rear coil spring.
   NOTE:

   Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.

7. Check that the rear upper coil spring insulator and rear lower coil spring insulator are installed as shown in the illustration.
