- Remove the front wheel & tire (A). Tightening torque: 88.3 ~ 107.9N.m (9.0 ~ 11.0kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 79.6lb-ft) CAUTION: Be careful not to damage to the hub bolts when removing the front wheel & tire.
- Remove the variable damper connector (A) & bracket (B).
- Remove the wheel speed sensor & bracket (A) from the front strut assembly by loosening bolts.
- Disconnect the stabilizer link (B) with the front strut assembly (A) after loosening the nut. Tightening torque: 98.1 ~ 117.7N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8lb-ft)
- Disconnect the front strut assembly (A) with the knuckle by loosening the bolt & nut. Tightening torque: 196.1~215.7N.m (20.0~22.0Kgf.m, 144.7 ~159.1lb-ft)
- Loosen the strut upper locking nuts (A) and than remove the front strut assembly. Tightening torque: 53.9~73.5N.m (5.5~7.5Kgf.m, 34.8~54.2lb-ft)
- Installation is the reverse of removal.
Scheme 10
- Under the condition of fixed strut (A) on the SST (09546-26000), remove the front strut self-locking nut (B).
- Remove the insulator, spring seat, coil spring and dust cover from the strut assembly
Scheme 11
- Check the strut bearing for wear and damage.
- Check the spring upper and lower seat for damage and deterioration.
- Compress and extend the piston rod (A) and check that there is no abnormal resistance or unusual sound during operation.
Scheme 12
- Fully extend the piston rod.
- Drill a hole on the (A) section to remove gas form the cylinder. CAUTION: The gas coming out is harmless but be careful of chips that may fly when drilling.

- Remove the front wheel & tire (A). Tightening torque: 88.3 ~ 107.9N.m (9.0 ~ 11.0kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 79.6lb-ft) CAUTION: Be careful not to damage to the hub bolts when removing the front wheel & tire.
- Loosen the bolt & nut and then remove the lower arm (A). Tightening torque: 98.1~117.7N.m (10.0~12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.6lb-ft)
- Loosen the bolts & nuts than Remove the front lower arm (A). Tightening torque Front: 117.7~137.3N.m (12.0~14.0Kgf.m, 86.8~101.3lb-ft) Rear: 156.9~176.5N.m (16.0~18.0Kgf.m, 115.7~130.2-ft)
- Installation is the reverse of removal.
