To install the shock absorber, reverse the removal procedure. Tighten the upper mounting bolt nut to the specified torque. Raise the rear axle with the jack to simulate normal ride height and tighten the lower mounting bolt/nut to the specified torque.

Raise the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Examine the shock absorbers/struts for evidence of fluid leakage. Ensure that they are securely mounted and free from damage. Check the upper mounts for any signs of damage or wear. If leakage or damage is detected, it's recommended to replace the shocks/struts as a set.

If both strut assemblies are going to be removed, mark the assemblies Right and Left so they will be reinstalled on the correct side. Mark the position of the strut to the steering knuckle if special camber adjusting bolts have been installed in place of the regular strut-to-knuckle bolts.

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.
