You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 5U2Z-18V124-DB fits your vehicle.

To remove the rear shock absorber, start by blocking the front wheels and raising the rear of the vehicle. Securely support it on jack stands and use a floor jack near the shock absorber to support the axle. Remove the lower attaching nut and pull the shock absorber free from the mounting bracket. Then, remove the securing nut from the upper mounting stud and withdraw the shock absorber from the vehicle. Inspection of the rear shock absorber is similar to that for the front shock absorber. To install the rear shock absorber, simply reverse the removal process.

To inspect the shock absorber, remove it and examine it for signs of damage to the body, distorted piston rod, loose mounting, or hydraulic fluid leakage. If any of these signs are evident, a new unit should be installed. Inspect the upper frame mounted shock insulators on coil spring models for signs of wear and replace if necessary.
