Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, support it securely on jackstands and remove the wheels. Position a floor jack under each coil spring seat portion of the rear suspension beam, then raise the jacks slightly. Remove both shock absorber lower mounting bolts. On 2009 and later models, remove the wheel speed sensor and wire harness retainer from both sides of the axle beam. Carefully lower the floor jacks until the coil springs are fully extended. Remove the coil spring, the rubber mount and the rubber seat. Installation is the reverse of removal, noting the following points: Replace rubber components if they are deteriorated. Replace the shock absorber lower mounting bolts with new ones. Raise the trailing arm portions of the rear axle with the floor jacks until each side is at normal ride height, then tighten the shock absorber lower mounting bolts to the torque. Install the wheels and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque.
