Maneuver the shock out of the vehicle.

No, shock absorbers themselves cannot be serviced; they should be replaced if found faulty.

1. Loosen the wheel lug nuts. 2. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. 3. Remove the wheel. 4. Unbolt the brake hose bracket from the shock absorber. 5. Remove the wheel speed sensor and detach the wiring harness by removing the clamp bracket bolt. 6. On 2015 and later models, remove the stabilizer bar link nut and disconnect the link from the strut. 7. Support the control arm with a floor jack. 8. Unscrew the nuts securing the strut to the steering knuckle. 9. Tap the bolts out with a hammer. 10. Use the floor jack to lower the knuckle to allow room to remove the shock absorber/coil spring assembly, being careful not to overextend the inner CV joint.

Assess tire wear patterns, inflation, and inspect the universal joint, steering gear housing, dust boots, boot clamps, tie-rod ends, and all suspension and steering components for damage, wear, loose bolts, and deteriorated rubber bushings.
