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.

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

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.

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.

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

Hold the damper shaft with a wrench and remove the damper shaft nut.
