Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts and chock the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

Inspect the strut body for leaking fluid, dents, damage and corrosion. Check the spring for nicks, chips or cracks in the spring coating.

Extend the damper rod and install the rubber bumper. Position the coil spring with the smaller coils going on first and carefully place it onto the damper shaft. Install the rubber bumper and push it all the way down. Install the upper spring seat and dust boot onto the damper shaft. Install the suspension support, aligning the support notch with the clevis bracket on the strut support. Install the nut and tighten it to the specified torque. Loosen the coil spring compressor(s) until the top coil is properly seated against the upper spring seat and suspension support. Relieve all tension from the spring compressor(s) and remove them from the coil spring. Finally, install the strut/spring assembly.

Lower the vehicle and proceed to check the condition of the ball joints. Inspect the steering gear boots for any cracks and ensure that clamps are secure. If you notice lubricant leaking from the boots, it indicates that the rack seals have failed. In such cases, it's advisable to have the steering gear replaced or overhauled by a professional.
