Removal
1. open trunk and roll back carpet covering strut tower. On all models, remove 2 nuts attaching upper strut mount to strut tower. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Remove bolt attaching strut clevis bracket to knuckle. Push suspension downward and slide clevis bracket off knuckle. Remove strut assembly from vehicle. 2.Inspect strut for evidence of fluid leakage. Slight seepage is normal and does not require strut replacement. Remove spring. See COIL SPRING . Remove remaining components, noting order for installation reference.
