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.

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.

On 2014 and earlier models, ensure that the side of the upper mount that protrudes more is facing towards the outside of the vehicle.

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.

Remove the shock through the bottom of the spring and inspect all parts for damage. Install the parts on the new shock in the correct order. Install the washer and damper shaft nut, tightening it while holding the damper shaft with a wrench.

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

A floor jack should be used to support the knuckle and raise it slightly.

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 trim panels from the sides of the trunk should be removed to access the shock absorber upper mounting fasteners.
