Start by rolling back the trunk carpeting and removing the plastic cap to access the upper shock mounting bolts. Then, lift the carpeting and unsnap the plastic cover to remove the two upper mounting nuts. Next, loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels and the shock absorber lower mounting bolt from the rear knuckle. Push down on the rear suspension and pull the shock away from the knuckle to remove it.

Start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle. Support it securely on jackstands and remove the wheel. Mark the shock absorbers with a R or L if they are both removed at the same time. Remove the wheel speed sensor cable bracket from the steering knuckle. Remove the cotter pin and loosen the castle nut from the upper ball joint stud. Detach the ball joint from the steering knuckle using a puller and remove the nut. Pull the steering knuckle outward and to the back of the front wheel opening, being careful not to strain the brake hose. Remove the shock absorber clevis pinch bolt and nut. Remove the clevis bolt from the lower control arm and tap the clevis from the shock absorber using a soft-faced hammer. Remove the four bolts from the shock tower attaching the upper control arm/shock absorber. Remove the upper control arm mounting bracket and shock absorber as an assembly.

Check the shock absorber for rod binding, and inspect the shock mount, upper spring seat/isolator, and coil spring for any cracks, distortion, deterioration, rips, chips, or corrosion. Replace any worn or defective components.
