Remove the fasteners attaching the lower end of the shock absorber to the lower control arm.

To assess the condition of shock absorbers, follow these steps: Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and set the parking brake. Check tire pressures to ensure they are at the recommended levels. Push down on each corner of the vehicle and observe its movement and rebound. Properly functioning shock absorbers should bring the vehicle to a rest in a level position within one or two bounces. Repeat this check for all four corners of the vehicle. While the vehicle is raised on jackstands, inspect the shock absorbers for fluid leakage and ensure they are securely mounted and undamaged. If fluid leakage is detected, replace the shocks as a set.

Place a floor jack under the axle near the shock absorber being removed and raise it slightly to relieve the load on the shock absorber.
