Use a spring compressor to compress the spring sufficiently to relieve all pressure from the upper spring seat, then hold the damper rod with an Allen wrench and remove the upper spring seat and insulator.

Guide the shock absorber up into the fenderwell and insert the damper through the hole in the body. Once the damper rod protrudes from the hole, install the bushing, washer and nut so the assembly won't fall back through. Be sure to use new mounting bushings. Connect the shock to the trailing arm. Raise the trailing arm with the floor jack to simulate normal ride height, then tighten the shock absorber lower mounting bolt and damper mounting nut.

Guide the strut assembly up into the fenderwell and insert the upper mounting studs through the holes in the body, then install the nuts. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the two bolts, install the nuts, align the previously made matchmarks and tighten them to the torque. Install the wheel and lug nuts, then lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts. Tighten the upper mounting nuts and install the cowl panel cover. Have the front end alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
