2007 Chevrolet Aveo Coil Springs Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What tools are required to service and repair the front coil springs and shock absorber on 2007 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: The service repair of a suspension strut demands these specific tools: the correct tools necessary for strut suspension repair include km-329-a spring compressor (KM-329-A) and j 42468 front strut mount nut wrench (J 42468). Km-329-a spring compressor (KM-329-A) and j 42468 front strut mount nut wrench (J 42468). First take the strut assembly from its position and mount it onto the km-329-a tool before securing the hooks correctly against the strut spring. Place the front spring in the km-329-a compressor before securing the threaded piston rod with an open-end wrench to remove the piston rod nut with the j 42468 tool. During reassembly it's crucial to note the spring seat position in relation to the strut assembly-to-knuckle bracket. Start by carefully removing these components from the strut assembly in sequential order: the strut mount followed by Strut Bearing then spring upper seat then spring upper insulator and hallow Bumper and coil spring and lastly the strut. To install components begin with the lower spring insulator and spring after which you must use the km-329-a to compress the spring. Then install the strut mount followed by the Strut Bearing then spring upper seat and spring upper insulator and hallow Bumper before finishing with coil spring and strut. Verify spring position on coil spring seat and check all installation positions. Holding the threaded piston rod with an open-end wrench allows proper installation of the piston rod nut using the j 42468 to reach a torque value of 60 n.m (44 lb ft).
