To replace the shock absorber, lift the carpeting and unsnap the plastic cover to remove the two upper mounting nuts. Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and the shock absorber lower mounting bolt from the rear knuckle. Mount the shock assembly in a vise and mark it and use a spring compressor to relieve pressure, then unscrew the damper rod nut and remove the washer. Reassemble the shock absorber in reverse order, making sure to install the sleeve and top washer. Connect the lower end of the shock absorber to the knuckle and tighten the bolt/nut. Install the wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts.

Check the shock absorber for rod binding, and inspect the shock mount, upper spring seat/isolator, and coil spring for any cracks, distortion, deterioration, rips, chips, or corrosion. Replace any worn or defective components.

Check for leaking fluid, dents, cracks, and other obvious damage. Also, check the coil spring for chips and corrosion. Replace any damaged components.
