You can Select Your Vehicle to check if DG9Z-5310-BH fits your vehicle.

Examine the shock for signs of fluid leakage. Check the piston rod for signs of pitting along its entire length, and check the shock body for signs of damage. Test the operation of the shock, while holding it in an upright position, by moving the piston through a full stroke, then through short strokes of 2 to 4 inches. In both cases, the resistance felt should be smooth and continuous. If the resistance is jerky or uneven, or if there is any visible sign of wear or damage, replacement is necessary.

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel.

Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to position the lower end of the coil spring in the depressed area of the trailing arm. Use new fasteners and tighten all fasteners to the proper torque specifications.
