Safety Precautions:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves.
• Ensure the vehicle is securely supported on jack stands on a level surface before beginning any work. Never rely solely on a jack.
• Disconnect the vehicle's battery before working on electrical components, if applicable.
• Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.

General Installation Steps (Consult Vehicle Manual for Specifics):

1. Safely lift and support the vehicle. Remove the wheel.
2. Disconnect any brake lines, ABS sensors, or sway bar links attached to the strut assembly.
3. Remove the lower mounting bolts connecting the strut to the steering knuckle or control arm.
4. Access the upper strut mounts, typically located under the hood or inside the vehicle's trunk/cabin. Remove the nuts securing the upper mount.
5. Carefully remove the old strut assembly from the vehicle.
6. Install the new AEDNX strut assembly, ensuring proper alignment of the upper and lower mounting points.
7. Secure the upper mounting nuts and lower mounting bolts, tightening to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque.
8. Reconnect any disconnected components (brake lines, ABS sensors, sway bar links).
9. Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle.
10. Perform a wheel alignment after replacing suspension components to ensure proper handling and tire wear.

Maintenance

Regular inspection of your vehicle's suspension components is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety. Check for:

• Signs of fluid leaks from the strut body.
• Damage to the strut boot or shaft.
• Loose or corroded mounting hardware.
• Unusual noises or changes in vehicle handling.

Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you experience issues after installation, consider the following:

• Unusual Noises (Clunking/Rattling): Check all mounting bolts for proper torque. Ensure no components are loose or contacting other parts of the vehicle.
• Poor Ride Quality: Verify that the correct strut assemblies were installed for your vehicle. Ensure springs (if reused) are correctly seated. A wheel alignment is crucial after suspension work.
• Uneven Ride Height: Confirm that the correct parts were installed on both sides of the vehicle.

For persistent issues, consult a qualified automotive technician.
