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.

If you plan on removing the springs and overhauling the shock unit, follow the appropriate procedures.

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.

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.

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.

Slowly release tension from the spring by backing off the spring compressor. Ensure the spring has settled in the locator holes and the brackets/mounts are not twisted or off-center.
