Removal and installation the spring and shock absorber strut (Renault Laguna 2)

Removal

Place suitable grips on the compression fixtures and place the assembly on the spring.



Compress the spring until it moves away from the bearing surfaces of the cups.

Using the tool, remove the shock absorber rod nut.



Separate the parts that make up the shock absorber strut assembly with the spring.

Installation

Note: Shock absorbers are stored in a horizontal position in the warehouse.

Under these conditions, short-term loss of functionality of shock absorber struts designed to operate in a vertical position is possible.



Before installing the shock absorber strut on the car, to bring it into working condition, it is enough to manually push and pull out its rod several times in a vertical position (perform several full stretch-compression strokes). If it is necessary to replace the spring, then to facilitate its correct installation, observe the position and orientation of the spring coils and the clamps of the device.





Observe the sequence and direction of installation of parts.



Tighten the nut (new) to the required torque. Release the spring and remove the device.
