How to service and repair the front coil springs and shock absorber on Chevrolet Cobalt?

The repair and servicing of suspension struts starts with removing them from their vehicle placement. Fasten the strut into the strut spring compressor (J 45400). When the strut moves freely you should compress the spring before using the spring compressor's forcing screw to compress the coil spring. The upper strut mount and coil spring become accessible by turning the compressor forcing screw to its loose position. Use a 45 torx(R) socket combined with a strut rod socket or equivalent to unscrew the upper strut mount nut. To begin installation start by placing the coil spring together with upper strut mount into the strut spring compressor (J 45400). Turn the spring compressor forcing screw to compress the coil spring before attaching the strut to the spring and upper mount combination. Before tightening the upper strut mount nut use a 45 torx(R) socket to stabilize the strut shaft at 75 n.m (55 lb ft). After removing the strut from the strut spring compressor (J 45400) you should install it back into the vehicle.

How to replace the front shock absorber on Chevrolet Cobalt?

Begin the upper strut replacement procedure by eliminating the fixings securing the mounting nuts. Lift your vehicle through frame contacts only with a frame-contact vehicle lift while eliminating the risk of suspension contact. Position the vehicle on a frame-contact vehicle lift to secure it at height. Then remove the tire along with the wheel. The process begins with stabilizer shaft link detachment from the strut assembly after which the stern strut bolts, nuts, and abs wiring bracket are removed if present before removing the strut piece. Before installation begin by setting the strut into position while adhering to fastener caution recommendations. Install the strut upper mounting nuts by tightening them to 20 nm (15 lb ft) according to prevailing torque specifications which allow their reuse only when both fasteners are rust-free and clean and display 3 nm (27 lb in) of torque/drag against each other before final tightening. Otherwise, replace the fastener. After installing the lower strut bolts together with nuts and abs wiring bracket (if present) tighten the strut lower nuts to 120 nm (89 lb ft). The stabilizer shaft link must be attached to the strut assembly before tightening its nut to 65 nm (48 lb ft). You must install the tire followed by the wheel before lowering the automobile for a visit to the front wheel alignment service provider.
