7. |
Installation is the reverse of removal. |
1. |
Under the condition of fixed strut (A) on the SST (09546-26000), remove the front strut self-locking nut (B). |
2. |
Remove the insulator, spring seat, coil spring and dust cover from the strut assembly |
1. |
Check the strut bearing for wear and damage. |
2. |
Check the spring upper and lower seat for damage and deterioration. |
3. |
Compress and extend the piston rod (A) and check that there is no abnormal resistance or unusual sound during operation. |
Disposal
1. |
Fully extend the piston rod. |
2. |
