You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 5272732AC fits your vehicle.

The shock absorber lower mounting nut and bolt should be removed to take out the shock unit.

Some signs of wear include leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, and chipped, sagging, or cracked coil springs.

Compress the coil spring with a spring compressor, following the tool manufacturer's instructions. Compress the spring until tension is removed from the upper bracket.

If equipped, the trim panels covering the lower control arm should also be removed.

After simulating normal ride height, the lower mounting bolt should be tightened, the wheel and lug nuts should be installed, and the vehicle should be lowered and the lug nuts tightened. On 2014 and earlier models, the shock absorber upper mounting nuts should also be tightened. Finally, the trim panels in the trunk should be reinstalled.

If servicing both shocks, mark the parts as right and left.

To reassemble the strut and spring assembly, you need to extend the damper rod and install the rubber bumper. Put the dust boot onto the damper and carefully place the coil spring onto the damper, aligning it with the reference marks made during disassembly. Install the upper spring isolator and seat, followed by the upper mount, and tighten the nut on the damper shaft. Loosen the coil spring compressor until the top coil is properly seated against the upper spring seat and upper mount. Finally, remove the tool from the coil spring and install the strut/spring assembly.

Loosen the lug nuts on the rear wheels and raise the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels. Remove the rear shock absorber/coil spring assembly.

Before starting any work, it is recommended to explore all options. The strut body cannot be serviced and must be replaced if there is a problem. However, complete strut assemblies with springs may be available on an exchange basis, which can save time and effort. It is important to check the cost and availability of parts before disassembling the vehicle.
