Hyundai 54630-3Q011 Spring-Front

Before proceeding with any operations to the shocks or the coil springs be aware of the following, If they are leaking fluid, don't have the damping ability they used to have or if they are damaged physically, with chips or cracks or if they are late then it is high time to consider all options. Thus, the shock absorber assemblies are non-repairable and require replacement if problems are identified with them. Ensure that you have the cost of the part that you want to replace and its availability before you remove the car parts. Special attention should be taken when dismantling a coil-over shock absorber as it is dangerous; use a good spring compressor and read manufacturer's guidelines. Coil spring can be dangerous if accidentally compressed, and therefore when removing it from the shock absorber assembly, should be put in a secure place. To inspect and service, you need to first disconnect the shock absorber and the spring assembly, which should have a soft wooden wedge or cloth between it and the vise. Installing the spring compressor according to the instruction of the tool manufacturer compress the spring until the top seat of the spring has no pressure after snapping the spring. Loosen the damper shaft nut then take off the nut together with the other upper supports It is wise to arrange the components and at the same time inspect the rubber of suspension support for any signs of wear and tear. Rocker spindle nut in favor fully eliminates the upper spring seat and check for the signs of crack and hardness of the component, if possible replace. Take a moment to grasp the range force spring of the assembly, with its ends directed away from your body, and place it aside. Remove the rubber bumper to the damper shaft or slide it off and inspect the lower insulator to see if it has worn out and should be replaced. In assembly, if replacing the lower insulator, it should be fitted right and pull Damper rod to locate the Rubber bumper. Lay the coil spring on the lower insulator and have the end touching appropriately with paint marks facing outside. Screw in the upper insulator also screw in the spring seat ensuring that the flats in the spring seat face the flats on the damper shaft. Ensure that the damper nut is tightened to the recommended torque with the holes in the spring seats still aligned, subsequently, pull the stock absorber/spring assembly with the spring compressor tool and install it.

To work on models which were produced between 1999 and 2005, start by pulling out the shock absorber/coil spring assembly of the car in question, which must be fixed in a wood-lined vise or rags to avoid damaging the part. To ensure that all force has been removed from the upper spring seat, the use of a spring compressor can be done or the spring can be shaken to check that batter is loose. Loosen and take out the damper shaft nut while applying the locking pliers at the end of the shaft, after which, the mounting bracket, the dust cover, and the spring seat should be removed all, and kept systematically. Remove the compressed spring from the assembly carefully and put it aside along with the rubber bumper if any and inspect the lower insulator for the signs of wear or damage. To install, position the coil spring above the lower insulator, followed by fitting the upper insulator, spring seat, caring about their axiom, tighten the damper nut before withdrawing the spring compressor tool and finally replace the shock absorber/spring. Beginning with the models manufactured after the year 2006, begin by providing adequate audience to the rear wheel lug nuts, lifting the vehicle on sure shot jackstands and finally removing the said wheel. Supporting of lower control arm with the help of floor jack to avoid any movement then disconnected the lower end of the shock absorber from the hub carrier and disconnected the outer part of the lower control arm. Slowly lower the jack until the spring can be unplugged from its seats and then pull the spring away. The removal process is done in the reverse order of installation, and in addition, the analyst ensures that the outer end of the lower control arm of the car is raised with the help of the floor jack in order to set or restore the normal ride height of the car before tightening the nut of the lower control arm-to-hub carrier bolt.
