Remove the plastic retainers and take off the steering column U-joint cover. Then tighten the NEW upper mounting nut to the torque. Raise the floor jack to simulate normal ride height, then tighten the NEW lower mounting bolt to the torque. Install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque.

Explore all options before beginning any work. Check on the cost and availability of parts before disassembling the vehicle.

Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, remove the wheels, disconnect the wheel speed sensor wiring harness and the brake hose from the strut, remove the wheel speed sensor from the steering knuckle, disconnect the stabilizer bar link from the strut, remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts and knock the bolts out with a hammer and punch, separate the strut from the steering knuckle, using an Allen wrench, hold the strut piston rod from turning and remove the strut upper mounting nut and washer, remove the damper mounting base and remove the strut/spring assembly from the vehicle.
