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.

For 2010 and earlier models, the removal steps include removing the brake caliper, brake disc, brake cable bracket, stabilizer bar link, and wheel speed sensor. On all-wheel drive models, the inner and outer drive axle/hub nuts need to be removed and the drive axle needs to be separated from the hub and bearing using a drive hub remover.

After the installation process, the rear wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted as needed.

To reassemble, install the lower spring seat, bump stop, and dust boot onto the shock absorber, followed by the spring and upper mount/upper seat, aligning the arrow or notch appropriately.
