Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Removal and Replacement
Shock Absorber Replacement
Removal Procedure
Notice: The front shock absorbers of the vehicle are multifunctional. In addition to contributing to a smooth ride they also provide the only stop to the
front suspension when fully extended. Therefore, when servicing the shock absorber, service replacement shock absorbers must be equivalent to original
shock absorbers in both extended length and strength. Use of shocks not complying to original equipment or strength could result in suspension
over-travel or shock breakage. Suspension over-travel may result in suspension component breakage.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
2. Support the rear axle at ride height.
3. Remove the upper absorber bolts.
