To reassemble the strut and spring assembly, you need to extend the damper rod and install the rubber bumper. Put the dust boot onto the damper and carefully place the coil spring onto the damper, aligning it with the reference marks made during disassembly. Install the upper spring isolator and seat, followed by the upper mount, and tighten the nut on the damper shaft. Loosen the coil spring compressor until the top coil is properly seated against the upper spring seat and upper mount. Finally, remove the tool from the coil spring and install the strut/spring assembly.

On 2015 and later models, the shock absorber upper bolts should be tightened.

Loosen the lug nuts on the rear wheels and raise the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels. Remove the rear shock absorber/coil spring assembly.

After installing the strut assembly and retaining clip, the steering knuckle and related fasteners should be tightened.

The final step is to install the NEW strut retaining clip.

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

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.

On 2015 and later models, the shock absorber upper bolts should be tightened.
