If both strut assemblies are going to be removed, mark the assemblies Right and Left so they will be reinstalled on the correct side. Mark the position of the strut to the steering knuckle. This is only necessary if special camber adjusting bolts have been installed in place of the regular strut-to-knuckle bolts. Remove the bolt and disconnect the ground strap from the strut. On ABS equipped models, also remove the bolt securing the speed sensor harness to the strut. Remove the strut-to-steering knuckle nuts and bolts. Remove the upper mounting nuts, disengage the strut from the steering knuckle and detach it from the vehicle. Inspect the strut body for leaking fluid, dents, damage and corrosion. Check the spring for nicks, chips or cracks in the spring coating. If the strut or coil spring is damaged. To install the strut, place it in position with the studs extending up through the strut tower. Install the nuts and tighten them to the torque.

If equipped with special camber adjusting bolts, align the marks you made in Step Hold the bolts and tighten the nuts to the torque listed in the Specifications. Attach the ground strap and, if equipped, the ABS sensor harness bracket to the strut and tighten the bolt(s) securely. Install the wheel and lug nuts and lower the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts to the torque. If special camber adjusting bolts have been installed sometime in the past, have the front end alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

Check the upper mounts for any signs of damage or wear. If leakage or damage is detected, it's recommended to replace the shocks/struts as a set.
