2. Attach the hooks of each SST arm across the diameter of the coil spring.
   WARNING:

   • Make sure that the hooks are securely attached to the coil spring.

   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
   • Make sure that the hooks of the upper and lower SST arms are attached to the coil spring so that the distance between the hooks is as large as possible.

   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
   • Make sure that the arms of SST are parallel and the number of coils between the arms is the same on each side.

   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
3. Install the stopper pins to the hooks of SST.
   WARNING:

   • Make sure that the stopper pins are installed securely.
   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.

4. Using SST, compress the coil spring.
   WARNING:

   • If the coil spring starts to bow out while using SST, stop immediately and reattach SST correctly.

   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
   • Do not compress the coil spring to the point where the coils touch each other.

   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
   • Do not use an impact wrench.

   • If an impact wrench is used, the threads of SST may be damaged, or sudden compression of the coil spring may cause a hook to disengage and the coil spring to fly out, resulting in injury.
   • If a stopper pin touches the coil spring while using SST, remove the stopper pin and continue with the procedure.

   • If a stopper pin is removed, install SST (coil spring stopper belt) as shown in the illustration.
   • If a hook disengages from the coil spring, the coil spring may fly out, resulting in injury.
   • SST: 09727-00110

    *B	RH Side
    *a	30° +/- 2°
    *b	Identification Mark
    	Front of Vehicle
    	Outside of Vehicle

    NOTE:

    • Do not use an impact wrench. It will damage SST.
    • Make sure that the flat surface of the threads of the front shock absorber piston rod end is parallel to the front shock absorber bushing.
    • Make sure that the front suspension support assembly is aligned as shown in the illustration when removing SST.

1. Install the front shock absorber with coil spring (upper side) to the vehicle body with the 3 nuts.

   Torque: 67 N*m (683 kgf*cm, 49 ft.*lbf) 

2. Temporarily tighten the front shock absorber with coil spring (lower side) to the front lower suspension arm assembly with the bolt and nut.
   NOTE:

   • Insert the bolt from the rear of the vehicle.
   • Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.

   HINT: 

   Fully tighten the bolt after stabilizing the suspension.

3. Fully tighten the lock nut.

   Torque: 27.5 N*m (280 kgf*cm, 20 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Perform this step only when the front shock absorber with coil spring has been disassembled.

1. Install the front upper suspension arm assembly to the steering knuckle with the nut.

   Torque: 87 N*m (887 kgf*cm, 64 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Prevent oil from adhering to the threaded and tapered parts.

2. Install a new clip.
   NOTE:

   Further tighten the nut up to 60° if the holes for the clip are not aligned.

See step  9

1. Install the front skid control sensor wire to the steering knuckle, front shock absorber with coil spring and vehicle body with the 3 bolts.

   Bolt (A) 

   Torque: 6.0 N*m (61 kgf*cm, 53 in.*lbf) 

   Bolt (B) 

   Torque: 8.5 N*m (87 kgf*cm, 75 in.*lbf) 

   NOTE:

   • Be careful not to deform the bracket of the front shock absorber with coil spring when installing the bolt.
   • Do not twist the front skid control sensor wire when installing it.
2. Connect the front skid control sensor wire connector to the front axle hub sub-assembly.
   NOTE:

   Do not twist the front skid control sensor wire when installing it.

3. Connect the pad wear indicator wire connector to the front skid control sensor wire clamp.
   NOTE:

   Do not twist the pad wear indicator wire when installing it.

1. Install the front wheel.

   Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1

2. Lower the vehicle and bounce it up and down several times to stabilize the front suspension.
3. Remove the front wheel.

   Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1

4. Using a jack and a wooden block, apply load to the suspension so that the front lower suspension arm assembly is horizontal.

   WARNING:

   • Do not raise the jack up too high.
   • The vehicle could fall, resulting in a serious accident.

   NOTE:

   • When jacking up the front lower suspension arm assembly, be sure to jack it up slowly.
   • Make sure to perform this operation with the vehicle kept as low as possible.

1. Fully tighten the front shock absorber with coil spring bolt.

   Torque: 108 N*m (1101 kgf*cm, 80 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Tighten the bolt with the nut secured.
