For coil spring models, raise the rear of the vehicle on jackstands and remove the wheels. Disconnect the stabilizer bar link from the lower control arm. Use a floor jack to support the knuckle and raise it slightly. Remove the lower control arm-to-knuckle bolt and nut. Lower the control arm slowly to remove the spring. Installation is the reverse of removal.

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.

The lower mount of the shock absorber should be greased with white lithium grease for easier installation and to prolong the life of the lower shock bushing.

In the trunk, the two nuts that hold the shock absorber to the vehicle body should be removed.

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.

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.
