Clamp the flexible brake hose. 2. Disconnect the brake tube union. 3. Remove the retaining clip. 4. Detach the flexible brake hose. Vehicles with rear disc brakes 3. Detach the flexible brake hose and the brake pad wear sensor wiring loom (if equipped) from the strut and spring assembly. 4. Disconnect the brake pad wear sensor electrical connector (if equipped). 5. Detach the anti-lock brake system (ABS) sensor and wiring loom. All Vehicles 6. Detach the stabilizer bar connecting link and bushing from the front arm. 7. Detach the rear arm from the wheel spindle. 8. Detach the tie-bar from the wheel spindle. 9. Detach the front arm from the wheel spindle. 10. Remove the wheel spindle to strut and spring assembly pinch bolt. 11. CAUTION: Secure the wheel spindle to prevent damage to the parking brake cable and brake hose (disc brake vehicles only). Detach the wheel spindle from the strut and spring assembly. 12. Detach the strut and spring assembly from the crossmember. 1. Raise the strut and spring assembly on a jack. 2. Detach the strut and spring assembly from the crossmember. 13.

Removal 1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. 2. Remove the front wheel and tire assembly. 3. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the 6mm drive hole in the front stabilizer bar link ball stud, do not use an Allen wrench to break loose or tighten to final torque the front stabilizer bar link-to-front shock absorber nut. Remove the stabilizer bar link retaining nut and disconnect the link from the strut. 4. CAUTION: Do not allow the halfshaft to move outboard. Over extension of the CV joint may result in the separation of internal parts, causing failure of the joint. Remove the strut assembly-to-steering knuckle pinch bolt. If required, slightly spread the steering knuckle to ease the removal of the strut. Pry down on the lower control arm and roll the strut base out of the knuckle. Do not pry on the halfshaft, as damage may result. Wire the steering knuckle up to prevent the halfshaft from moving outboard. 5. Partially lower the vehicle. 6. Support the strut assembly and remove the top three mount-to-strut tower nuts. Remove the strut assembly from the vehicle. 7. CAUTION: The strut assembly is under spring tension. Attempting to disassemble the strut without properly compressing the spring can result in injury. Using a suitable spring compressing tool, slightly compress the strut spring to relieve initial tension. Loosen the upper rod nut. Continue to compress the spring until the tension is relieved. Remove the upper rod nut. 8. Remove all upper mounting parts, coil spring, and coil spring isolators from the strut and save them for reassembly. Carefully note the position of each part during removal to ensure proper reassembly. Inspect each part for wear and damage as it is removed. Installation 1. CAUTION: The bearing and seal assembly is press-fit onto the upper mount. The mount washers must be installed in the correct orientation. NOTE: Be sure to check the spring insulator for damage before assembly. If the outer metal splash shield is bent or damaged, it must be carefully bent back, so it does not touch the locator on the bearing and seal assembly. NOTE: New gas struts are shipped with the rod in a locked down position. To extend the new strut, remove the external tie down and/or rotate the upper end of the rod, counterclockwise. Install the coil spring insulator, coil spring, and upper mounting parts to the new strut assembly. Make sure the spring is correctly seated in both spring seats.

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number or an equivalent part must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a new part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified to make sure of correct retention of these parts. 1. Remove the parcel tray. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05. 2. Loosen the nuts. 3. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the stabilizer bar links from the stabilizer bar. Remove the stabilizer bar, if so equipped. For additional information, refer to Stabilizer Bar and Connecting Link — Four Door in this section. Remove the jack stands after the stabilizer bar is removed. 4. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. For additional information, refer to Section 204-04. 5. Remove the bolt and detach the rear wheel brake hose. 6. Remove the nut, washer and bushing. Detach the tension strut from the spindle. ? Discard the nut. 7. CAUTION: Care should be taken when removing the strut and spring assembly so the rear wheel brake hose is not stretched. Remove and discard the pinch bolt. Detach the spindle from the strut and spring assembly. ? To aid in removal, use a large screwdriver to spread the pinch joint.

1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Disconnect brakeline bracket from strut assembly. Support control arm. Remove strut-to-steering knuckle bolts. Separate strut from steering knuckle. 2. Remove dust cap from top of strut. See Fig. 5 . Remove strut-to-body nuts. Remove strut assembly from vehicle. If no mark is present, mark bottom edge of coil spring for reassembly reference. Fig. 5: Exploded View Of Strut Assembly (Elantra & Tiburon Shown; Others Are Similar) Disassembly Mount strut assembly in vise. Compress coil spring using coil spring compressor. Remove self-locking bearing nut with Spanner Wrench while holding upper spring seat. See SPECIAL TOOLS table. Remove insulator and spring seat. Remove rubber bumper and dust cover. See Fig. 5 . Slowly release coil spring compressor tension. Remove coil spring. Inspection Check parts for deterioration or damage. Check strut assembly for leaks and proper operation. Replace strut if fluid leakage exists. Replace worn or damaged parts. Reassembly 1. To reassemble, reverse disassembly procedure. Place coil spring identification mark toward knuckle. Ensure “D” shaped upper seat hole is aligned with notch in piston rod. Align coil spring ends in spring seat grooves. 2. Pack insulator bearing with grease and install dust cap. Avoid getting grease on insulators. Compress coil spring. Install rubber bumper and dust cover, spring seat and insulator. Using spanner wrench, tighten strut piston assembly lock nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Installation To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure strut assembly and steering knuckle mating surfaces are clean. Tighten fasteners to specification. Check front end alignment. See SPECIFICATIONS & PROCEDURES article in WHEEL ALIGNMENT.
