Unbolt the brake hose bracket from the shock absorber. Remove the ABS speed sensor and detach the wiring harness by removing the clamp bracket bolt. If equipped, remove the front height sensor arm bracket retaining bolt and set the height sensor out of the way.

If the front suspension shock absorber/coil springs exhibit signs of wear (such as leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, sagging, or cracked coil springs), they should be disassembled and overhauled as necessary. The shock absorbers themselves cannot be serviced and should be replaced if faulty; the springs and related components can be replaced individually. To maintain balanced characteristics on both sides of the vehicle, the components on both sides should be replaced at the same time.

Remove the three bolts securing the upper shock mount to the body. Remove the three shock mount-to-body bolts (2012 and earlier models).

Inspect the shock absorbers for any fluid leakage, ensuring that any observed fluid leakage is from the shocks and not another source. If leakage is detected, replace the shocks as a set. Also, check for secure mounting and any damage, including the upper mounts. Replace the shocks as a set if damage or wear is evident.
