To remove the rear wheel, then remove the brake caliper while holding it without removing the brake hose. Separate the Tie Rod from knuckle and fasten the lower Control Arm with a utility stand. Next, unplug the height sensor link and the shock absorber from the lower Control Arm. Use the j 41820 Ball Joint/stud separator (J 41820) to separate the Ball Joint from the knuckle, subsequently prefacing the lower Ball Joint nut. Reduce the Control Arm with the utility stand to dip the pressure of the coil spring and remove carefully the coil spring and jounce bumper . In order to install, fix the jounce bumper on the spring, index and install spring insulator, and also index and install the spring seat with the leading spring to the lower Control Arm and the jounce bumper. Lift you lower Control Arm with the use of utility stand, install the lower ball to the knuckle tighten the lower Ball Joint loose at 85 nm ( 63 ft.

  Q: What tools are required to service and repair the front coil springs and shock absorber on Buick Rendezvous?

  A:

  Service and repair of suspension struts requires these essential tools: a technician needs two essential tools for this task: strut rod nut socket (J42991) and strut spring compressor (J45400). Strut rod nut socket (J42991) and strut spring compressor (J45400). Start by taking the strut out from the car and fitting it into the strut spring compressor (J45400). Crawl the forcing screw to compress the spring until it moves without obstruction. A 45 torx socket should grip the strut shaft as you apply the strut rod nut socket (J42991) to remove the upper strut mount nut. Remove your strut from the compressor before you begin to free both the upper strut mount and coil spring by loosening the forcing screw. To assemble the strut spring compressor (J45400) take the coil spring and upper strut mount then compress the coil spring again. To install the strut mount against the coil spring you need to fit the strut first then apply the retaining nut loosely before stabilizing the shaft with a 45 torx socket to torque the upper strut nut to 85 nm (63 ft. Lbs.) using the strut rod nut socket (J42991). After taking the strut out of the j45400 strut spring compressor you need to reinstall it into your vehicle.
