Examine all components for wear or damage, replacing them as necessary. Check the shock for fluid leakage, inspect the piston rod for pitting, and assess the shock body for damage.

After removing the spring on 2011 and later models, it is important to inspect and replace any defective components before reinstalling the spring and the rear knuckle.

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.

Check the shock body for leaking fluid, dents, cracks, and other obvious damage that would warrant replacement. Check the coil spring for chips or cracks in the spring coating. Inspect the spring seat for cuts, hardness, and general deterioration.

Utilize coil spring compressor tools to fully engage and compress the spring until tension is relieved from the upper mount.
