To raise the vehicle, place it on the ground and at normal ride height, then mark the shock absorbers in relation to the dust sleeve. Next, raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands placed under the frame, avoiding support under the differential housing or axle.

To check the shock absorbers, park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and set the parking brake. Push down at one corner of the vehicle and release it while observing the movement of the body. It should stop moving and come to rest in a level position within one or two bounces. If the vehicle continues to move up and down or fails to return to its original position, this may indicate worn or weak shock absorbers.

Yes, complete strut assemblies may be available on an exchange basis. This option can save time and effort as the entire assembly can be replaced instead of disassembling and reassembling individual components.

Inspect the strut body for damage and the coil spring and spring seat for any issues.
