If your struts or coil springs show wear, consider all options before starting work. Strut assemblies can't be serviced and must be replaced if faulty. You may find complete strut assemblies on an exchange basis, saving time and effort. Before disassembly, check part costs and availability. Remove the strut and spring assembly, mount it in a vise, and use a spring compressor to relieve pressure. Unscrew the thrust bearing retaining nut and remove the upper mount. Inspect the bearing and rubber mount for damage and replace if needed. Remove the upper spring seat and insulator, checking for damage. Lift the compressed spring from the assembly. Remove the dust cover plate and dust cover, then slide off the rubber bump stop and check for deterioration. To reassemble, extend the damper rod and install the rubber bump stop, dust cover, and dust cover plate. Place the compressed coil spring onto the lower seat of the damper, install the upper insulator and spring seat, followed by the bearing and suspension support. Install the washer and nut, tighten it, remove the spring compressor tool and install the strut/spring assembly.

Remove the stabilizer link, ABS speed sensor, and wire harness.

To remove the strut, begin by loosening the wheel lug nuts. Then, raise the vehicle on jack stands. After that, remove the wheel.
