Locate the upper retaining nut on top of the frame, and if necessary, hold the piston rod with a wrench or locking pliers while loosening the nut. Remove the upper nut, washer, and insulator from the stud on the upper side of the frame.

Raise the vehicle, support it securely on jackstands, and check the shock absorbers for evidence of fluid leakage. A light film of fluid is generally not a concern. If leakage is noted, replace the shocks as a set.

For 2003 and later models, remove the three shock absorber upper mounting nuts, the brake caliper, and the brake disc. Additionally, remove the upper and lower stabilizer bar links. Remove the upper balljoint nut and separate the control arm from the steering knuckle. Finally, remove the lower mounting bolt and the shock absorber/coil spring assembly from the front end of the vehicle.
