Caravan FWD V6-3.3L VIN 3 Flex Fuel (2001)
1. Place the coil spring in the compressor lower hooks following the manufacturers instructions. Proper orientation of the spring to the strut (once
installed) is necessary. Consider the following when placing the coil spring in the compressor: From above, the compressor back is at the 12
o'clock position and you, standing in the front of the machine, are at the 6 o'clock position. Place the lower coil spring end at the 6 o'clock position
for both left and right springs.
2. Install the upper seat and upper isolator on top of the coil spring. Position the notch in the perimeter of the upper seat toward the front of the
compressor (same 6 o'clock position as in step 1).
3. Position the upper hooks on top of the coil spring upper seat so the upper hooks span approximately 1 inch past outside diameter of upper seat.
This will allow proper clearance for upper mount installation without pinching the hooks in-between the two pieces. Do not allow hooks to be
placed closer to edge.
4. Compress the coil spring far enough to allow strut installation.
