Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then remove the wheels. Unbolt the brake hose bracket from the strut and detach the speed sensor wiring harness from the strut by removing the clamp bracket bolt. Remove the stabilizer bar link from the strut, mark the position of the strut to the steering knuckle, then remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts. Remove the access cover from the cowl panel, then remove the three upper nuts securing the strut assembly to the body. Separate the strut from the steering knuckle and remove it. Check the strut body for leaking fluid, dents, cracks and other obvious damage which would warrant repair or replacement. Check the coil spring for chips or cracks in the spring coating and inspect the spring seat for cuts, hardness and general deterioration. Guide the strut assembly up into the fenderwell and insert the upper mounting studs through the holes in the body, then install the nuts. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the two bolts, install the nuts, align the previously made matchmarks and tighten them to the torque. Install the wheel and lug nuts, then lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts. Tighten the upper mounting nuts and install the cowl panel cover. Have the front end alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

Begin by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts. Then, raise the rear of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Also, make sure to block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
