To install the shock absorber, reverse the removal procedure. Tighten the upper mounting bolt nut to the specified torque. Raise the rear axle with the jack to simulate normal ride height and tighten the lower mounting bolt/nut to the specified torque.

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.

Extend the damper rod and install the rubber bumper. Position the coil spring with the smaller coils going on first and carefully place it onto the damper shaft. Install the rubber bumper and push it all the way down. Install the upper spring seat and dust boot onto the damper shaft. Install the suspension support, aligning the support notch with the clevis bracket on the strut support. Install the nut and tighten it to the specified torque. Loosen the coil spring compressor(s) until the top coil is properly seated against the upper spring seat and suspension support. Relieve all tension from the spring compressor(s) and remove them from the coil spring. Finally, install the strut/spring assembly.

Regular inspections of the steering linkage and suspension components are essential because worn or damaged parts can lead to various issues such as abnormal tire wear, poor ride quality, compromised vehicle handling, and reduced fuel economy. Identifying and addressing problems in these systems can help maintain the vehicle's safety and performance.
