During reassembly, note the following points: a) Ensure that the coil spring ends are correctly located in the upper and lower seats before releasing the compressor. b) Check that the bearing is correctly installed on the piston rod seat. c) Tighten the thrust bearing retaining nut to the specified torque. d) The coil springs must be installed with the paint mark at the bottom.

8. Check the mounting rubbers for damage and deterioration. If they are worn, they may be replaceable separately from the shock absorber body (check the availability of parts). 9. Mount the shock absorber in a vise, gripping it by the lower mounting. Examine it for signs of fluid leakage. Test its operation by moving it through a full stroke and then through short strokes of two to four inches. The resistance should be smooth and continuous; if it is jerky or uneven, the shock absorber should be replaced.

Lower the suspension strut from under the fenderwell, withdrawing it from the vehicle.

Inspect the CV joints for damage and replace the damaged boot(s) with new ones.
