Nissan 54303-85E27 Strut Kit-Front Suspension,LH

Carefully place the coil spring onto the lower insulator, ensuring the end of the spring rests in the lowest part of the insulator, fitting into the recessed portion of the lower seat.

Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the wheels.

To check the shock absorbers, park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and set the parking brake while checking tire pressures. Push down on one corner of the vehicle and release it; it should stop moving and return to a level position within one or two bounces. If it continues to move or fails to return, the shock absorber may be worn. Repeat this check at the other corners.

Remove the rubber cover, have an assistant support the strut and spring assembly, and then remove the three strut upper mounting nuts. Remove the assembly through the fender well. If replacing the strut, remove the trailing arm bracket from the bottom of the strut and transfer it to the new one, tightening the bolts to the torque.
