Focus on inspecting the boots for tears, cracks, and loose clamps, especially checking the outer CV boot due to its higher wear rate as it follows the steering action of the front hub.

Remove the three bolts securing the upper shock mount to the body. Remove the three shock mount-to-body bolts (2012 and earlier models).

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.

Remove the bolt and flag nut securing the damper fork to the lower control arm.
