Removing and installing shock absorbers one side at a time helps maintain stability and balance in the vehicle's suspension system, preventing uneven weight distribution and potential handling issues.

To check for play in the steering system components, grasp each front tire at the front and rear edges. Push in at the front and pull out at the rear while feeling for play. If any free play is noted, you should check the idler arm and the tie-rod ends for looseness.

Mark the positions of the bolt heads.

To reassemble the strut assembly, the rubber bumper and dust cover should be installed. The coil spring should be placed onto the strut, ensuring correct positioning onto the lower spring seat. The upper bearing assembly should be installed, aligning the notch on the bearing assembly with the clevis on the bottom of the strut. The damper rod nut should be installed and tightened to the specified torque. Finally, the spring compressor tool can be removed, and the strut/spring assembly can be installed.
