Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheels. On models equipped with ABS, detach the speed sensor wiring harness from the strut. Disconnect the stabilizer bar link from the strut assembly. Mark the position of the strut to the steering knuckle. Separate the strut from the steering knuckle. Secure the steering knuckle safely aside, have an assistant support the strut and spring assembly, then remove the three strut-to-body nuts. Remove the assembly from the fenderwell. Check the strut body for leaking fluid, dents, cracks, and other obvious damage which would warrant repair or replacement. Check the coil spring for chips or cracks in the spring coating. Inspect the spring seat for cuts, hardness, and general deterioration. If any undesirable conditions exist, proceed to the strut disassembly procedure. Guide the strut assembly up into the fenderwell and insert the upper mounting studs through the holes in the body. Once the studs protrude, install the nuts so the strut won't fall back through. Tighten the upper mounting nuts. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the two bolts. Install the nuts, align the previously made matchmarks, and tighten them. If the vehicle is equipped with ABS, install the speed sensor wiring harness bracket. Connect the stabilizer bar link to the strut. Tighten the nut. Install the wheel and lug nuts, then lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts. Drive the vehicle to an alignment shop to have the front end alignment checked, and if necessary, adjusted.

Connect the stabilizer bar link to the strut and tighten the nut.

Install the upper shock absorber bolt finger-tight.

Explore all options before beginning any work and consider replacing the strut body if a problem develops.

Extend the damper rod to its full length and install the rubber bumper. Install the dust boot onto the damper. Carefully place the coil spring onto the damper, aligning it with the reference marks made during disassembly. Install the upper spring isolator and seat onto the damper shaft, again noting reference marks. Install the upper mount to the damper shaft, noting its alignment. Install the nut on the damper shaft and tighten it. Loosen the coil spring compressor until the top coil is properly seated against the upper spring seat and upper mount. Relieve all tension from the spring compressor and remove the tool from the coil spring. Finally, install the strut/spring assembly.

Remove the upper mounting bolt (Shock absorber mounting bolts).
