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.

After removing the trim panels, the rear wheel lug nuts should be loosened, the vehicle should be raised and supported on jackstands, and the rear wheels should be removed.
