Suspension: Service and Repair
Important:^ Before servicing the following items, use the scribing procedure:
- The strut mount
- The strut bumper
- The strut shield
- The spring seat
- The spring insulator
After completing the service, you will be able to return to the original camber setting. Then, inspect and adjust the toe.
^ Do not use the scribing procedure when servicing the following components:
- Front Spring
- Strut
- Knuckle
- Control Arm
Inspect or adjust the camber and the toe after completing the service.
1. Use a chisel in order to place a mark across the strut/knuckle interface (1).
2. Scribe the strut flange on the inboard side along the curve of the knuckle (2).
3. Using a sharp tool, scribe the knuckle along the lower outboard strut radius (3).
4. During reassembly, carefully match the marks to the components.
