1. INSTALL FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER
(a)
Install the front spring bumper to the piston rod.

(c)
Using SST, compress the front coil spring.
SST 09727-30021 (09727-00010, 09727-00021, 09727-00031)
NOTICE: Do not use an impact wrench.
HINT: If the front coil spring is compressed at an angle, using 2 SST will make the work easier.
