It is crucial to exercise extreme caution when removing a coil spring to avoid any serious injuries.

For installation, replace any damaged or worn insulators and position them correctly in the control arm and upper body. Before tightening the control arm pivot bolts, raise the outer end of the control arm to simulate normal ride height. Tighten all suspension fasteners to the torque specifications and the wheel lug nuts as well.

Have the front-end alignment checked and adjusted if needed.

Install the strut coil spring assembly. Once the strut is in place in the strut tower, install the upper mounting nuts or bolts to prevent the strut coil spring assembly from falling back through. This may require an assistant due to the weight and awkwardness of the strut. If equipped, reconnect the electrical connector to the strut. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the two bolts, with the bolt heads pointing towards the front of the vehicle. Install the nuts, align the marks, and tighten them to the specified torque. On 1999 models, reconnect the stabilizer bar link to the strut and tighten the nut to the specified torque. Reconnect the brake hose and ABS harness brackets to the strut, tightening the bolts securely. Install the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Finally, tighten the three upper mounting nuts or bolts to the specified torque.
