Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, then raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands before removing the front wheels. From underneath, detach the lower end of the shock absorber from the lower control arm by removing the two bolts for 2WD models or the bolt and nut for 4WD models. To remove the upper mounting nut, use a wrench or socket to hold the shock absorber damper rod, ensuring to install the washer and rubber bushing below the nut and the other washer and bushing below the bracket when installing a new shock. Take note of the order of the washers and bushings above and below the upper mounting bracket before pulling out the shock from below. Inspect the rubber bushings for any cracks, tears, or deterioration, and replace them if they are worn or damaged. For installation, reverse the removal process, ensuring to tighten the upper mounting nut and the lower mounting bolt(s) to the specified torque.

Support the rear axle with a floor jack.
