1. Guide the assembly up into the fenderwell. 2. Align the previously made match marks. 3. Insert the upper mounting studs through the holes in the body. 4. Once the studs protrude, install the new nuts to prevent the shock from falling back through, but don't tighten them yet. 5. Use the jack to position the steering knuckle. 6. Install the two lower mounting bolts and nuts. 7. Tighten the nuts to the specified torque. 8. Install the wheel and lug nuts. 9. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. 10. Finally, tighten the upper mounting nuts to the specified torque.

If the shock absorber was replaced on 2015 and later models, install the upper mounting bracket to the shock absorber and tighten the piston rod nut to the torque.

Scrutinize suspension arm bushings for deterioration.

Examine all components for wear or damage, replacing them as necessary. Check the shock for fluid leakage, inspect the piston rod for pitting, and assess the shock body for damage.
