Installation Notes and Tips
Installation of the Arnott SK-3843 Coil Strut Assembly requires basic suspension knowledge and appropriate tools. Since this is a complete strut and coil spring assembly, spring compression is not necessary, reducing installation risk. Ensure the bolt-type upper mount and base cup lower mount align correctly with the vehicle’s mounting points. It is recommended to inspect related suspension components during installation and perform a wheel alignment afterward to maintain proper handling characteristics.
