"Instalalción: Consulte la hoja dentro de la caja de la barra de repuesto o el manual de servicio del vehículo"
That is the exact translation of the sentence. Now, strut has about six different translations: barra, montante, puntal, refuerzo, tirante and tornapunta Pg.356 of the SAE Glossary of Automotive Terminology. You choose. I prefer barra (more generic) but the ASE manual of Words and Phrases gives "puntal" on page 27.
Hope it helps.

could be...
...your interpretation.
Most likely, there is an exact copy of that page within the service manual, but they're saying, if you don't want to look it up, there's also a copy attached to a part of the vehicle.
In general, the most relevant parts of a service manual are also given in the form of sheets attached to parts of a device.
I translate service manuals for copiers and so on, so I know it's standard practice.
Hope that helps :)

It could also mean a sheet inserted in the manual. Usually, when a sheet is inserted in the manual after it has been printed, it\'s because that certain part of the manual has been modified or updated.
But only from your text, I cannot tell if this is the case...
