Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the bolts. Install the nuts and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.

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.

Before starting any work, it is crucial to check the cost and availability of parts to ensure that the necessary components are accessible.

The upper retaining nut for the shock absorber is located inside the trunk. Pull back the carpet to access the nut. To remove it, hold the shock's piston rod with a wrench to prevent it from moving while loosening the nut.
