Loosen the lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Remove the wheel.

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.

Inspect the universal joint between the steering shaft and the steering gear housing, ensuring there is no lubricant leakage and that dust boots are undamaged with secure clamps.

Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque.
