You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 5272733AC fits your vehicle.

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

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

The trim panels from the sides of the trunk should be removed to access the shock absorber upper mounting fasteners.

If necessary, the fuel filler tube bolt may need to be loosened, and the filler tube moved aside for better access to the shock upper mounting bolts.

To disassemble the strut and spring assembly, you need to mount the strut clevis bracket portion in a vise and mark the components for reassembly. Then, install a spring compressor on the spring and compress it to relieve pressure from the upper mount. While holding the damper shaft, loosen the shaft nut with a socket. Remove the nut and upper mount, inspecting the pivot bearing and upper spring seat for damage. Lift the compressed spring from the assembly and remove the dust boot from the damper shaft. Slide the rubber bumper off the damper shaft and check the lower spring isolator for damage.

Remove the shock through the bottom of the spring and inspect all parts for damage. Install the parts on the new shock in the correct order. Install the washer and damper shaft nut, tightening it while holding the damper shaft with a wrench.

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.

Slowly release tension from the spring by backing off the spring compressor. Ensure the spring has settled in the locator holes and the brackets/mounts are not twisted or off-center.
