Attention! Suspension struts are replaced in pairs.
1. Raise the front of the car. Remove the wheel.
2. Perform the actions illustrated in the photo.
3. The procedure for disassembling the rack is illustrated in the photo.
4. Check the condition of the strut parts, their wear and damage. Replace damaged parts. Replace the strut if a fluid leak is detected. Check the freedom of movement of the shock absorber piston with a shock absorber stroke of 50-100 mm. The piston should move smoothly, without jamming, there should be a constant resistance to the piston stroke. If there is an intermittent piston stroke, replace the strut.
5. Release the device and check the condition of the spring, if there is any damage (cracks in the turns or their deformation) replace the spring.
6. Assemble the strut in the reverse order and install it on the car. When assembling, make sure that the ends of the turns enter the recesses on the support cups. Align the lower mount marks made when removing the strut with those made before removal. Tighten the strut-to-steering knuckle mounting bolts to the specified torque.
