The coil spring service begins by using equipment to lift the vehicle vertically using a hoist while safety stands support the lower
Control Arms. Start by taking out the tire and wheel assembly before removing both stabilizer shaft link pins from the lower Control Arm and extracting the shock absorber. Rustproof your hands when using the coil spring remover (J23028-01) to secure onto a suitable jack's end for safely lifting the jack during lower
Control Arm Bushing cradling until lower Control Arm pivot bolt tension is relieved. Free the lower Control Arm pivot bolts and nuts while lowering the Control Arm slightly before popping out the coil spring and insulator. The installation of the coil spring requires proper alignment of its gripper notch toward the bottom position so the taper sits at the upper position to match the spring insulator with the bottom of the coil spring resting atop. Use the coil spring remover (J23028-01) to stabilize the lower Control Arm through its bushings while you raise the installed car with a jack to guide the Control Arm into position using a pry bar. Tighten the Control Arm pivot bolts by following proper installation direction at z height. Begin installation of new lower Control Arm pivot bolts along with nuts and remove the vehicle's coil spring remover (J23028-01). After reattaching the shock absorber install the stabilizer shaft link pin and secure its retaining nut to 18 nm (13 ft. Lbs.). After installing the tire along with wheel assembly you should remove safety stands before lowering the vehicle to finish by tightening lower Control Arm pivot bolts at 155 nm (115 lb ft).
