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.

Mount the shock assembly in a vise and mark it as right or left. Use a spring compressor to relieve pressure from the upper mount, then unscrew the damper rod nut and remove the washer. Remove the isolator bushing, shock absorber mount, spring isolator, rod washer, and dust boot. Lift the coil spring off the shock absorber and remove the jounce bumper, collar, and coil spring isolator. Reassemble the shock absorber in the reverse order of removal, making sure to install the sleeve with the undercut side facing downward and the top washer with the "TOP" stamp facing upward. When reinstalling the spring, align the studs at the top of the mounting plate with the hole in the bottom clevis bracket.

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.
