How Do Coil Springs and Shock Absorbers Affect the Removal and Installation of a Front Strut on a Subaru Forester?

Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, block the rear wheels, raise the front of the vehicle, and place it securely on jackstands before removing the front wheels. Detach the brake hose from its bracket on the strut, marking the relationship of the upper strut-to-knuckle bolt to the strut and noting how the brake line is attached. If equipped, remove the ABS sensor from the steering knuckle and detach the ABS sensor lead from the strut, marking the relationship of the upper camber adjustment bolt to the strut flange. Remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts, as well as the ABS harness bracket from the strut, ensuring to mark the bolt position for proper alignment when installing a new strut to preserve the camber setting. In the engine compartment, remove the mounting nuts that attach the top of the strut to the strut tower while supporting the strut with one hand or having an assistant hold it, then remove the strut assembly. When installing, use new self-locking mounting nuts for the strut assembly to the strut tower, place the strut assembly in position and install the upper mounting nuts without tightening them. Insert the steering knuckle into the strut flange, install the strut-to-knuckle bolts, and align the previously made mark on the upper bolt with the mark on the strut flange before tightening the bolts and nuts to the specified torque. Install the ABS sensor if equipped, reattach the brake hose bracket to the strut, and then install the wheels and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts and upper strut mounting nuts to the specified torque, and finally, have the front end alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
