Fig. 49 HOOK PLACEMENT ON UPPER SEAT
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
(Fig. 49). 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.
Fig. 50 PIVOT BEARING INSTALLATION
5) If the pivot bearing has been removed from the upper seat, install the pivot bearing on the top of the upper spring seat (Fig. 50). The bearing must
be installed on upper seat with the smaller diameter side of the pivot bearing toward the spring seat. Be sure the pivot bearing is sitting flat on the
spring seat once mounted.
6) Install the spring isolator on the lower spring seat of the strut (Fig. 40).
7) Install the jounce bumper on the strut shaft (Fig. 40). The jounce bumper is to be installed with the small end pointing downward.
8) Install the dust shield on the strut. Collapse and stretch the dust shield down over the top of the jounce bumper until the dust shield snaps into the
slot on the jounce bumper. The jounce bumper will be at the top of the inner dust boot. Return the dust shield to its fully extended length.
