Toyota 48131-0R190 Spring, Coil, Front

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands while blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling, then remove the wheel. Detach the stabilizer bar link from the lower suspension arm. Support the lower suspension arm with a floor jack, unbolt the outer end of the lower suspension arm from the knuckle, and slowly lower the arm until the coil spring is extended, then remove the coil spring. Check the spring for cracks and chips, replacing the springs as a set if any defects are found, and also inspect the upper insulator for damage and deterioration, replacing it if necessary. For installation, reverse the removal process, ensuring the lower end of the coil spring is positioned in the depressed area of the arm, and tighten all fasteners to the specified torque values, using the floor jack to raise the suspension to simulate normal ride height before tightening.

Carefully place the coil spring onto the lower insulator, ensuring that the end of the spring rests in the lowest part of the insulator and fits into the recessed portion of the lower seat.
