strut rod from turning, tighten the strut rod nut to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.) using a torque wrench on the end of Special Tool 9362.
CAUTION: Before releasing the tension from the coil spring by backing off the compressor (1) drive, make sure the hole (4) in the upper mount
faces away from the strut clevis bracket (5). Upon doing so, also make sure the bearing and upper spring seat is positioned so the notches in its
top (1) line with the studs (2) located in the upper mount flange. This orientation is necessary to avoid possible Noise, Vibration, and Harshness
(NVH) issues following installation.
