?Installation Guideline

 
Step 1: Before you lift the vehicle, loosen lug nuts one full turn.

Step 2: Jack up vehicle and use jack stands for safety & remove the tire from the rotor.

Step 3: (Wheel alignment is necessary after strut replacement.) Marking the position of all the bolts will help

keep the alignment close to original and save time aligning. Use a colored pencil to mark the old strut on the bolt.

Step 4: Use penetrating oil (such as WD40) to coat any rusted fasteners, let soak for approximately 1 hour.

Step 5: (Optional) While waiting for oil to soak, take this time to inspect all other components that may need

replacement (brake pads, rotors, brake hoses, ball joints, CV boots, tie rod ends, bushings, sway bars, etc).

Step 6: Remove any brake line or wire attachments from the strut body. Do not disconnect brake lines (if possible)!

Opening brake lines will require bleeding of the brake system.

Use extreme caution when removing brake lines from your struts, as any damage to your brake line can result in

expensive and time consuming repairs.

Step 7: Remove sway bar attached to the strut assembly or control arm.

Step 8: Remove the tie rod (only if it attached to the body of the strut, if not leave it attached to the steering knuckle).

Step 9: Remove the strut to knuckle bolts at the bottom of the strut. On some vehicles, the brake caliper and rotor

may need to be removed to gain access.

Step 10: Remove the upper mounting plate bolts located in the engine or trunk compartment. Do not remove the

center retaining nut! It is not safe to unload the spring from the assembly in this position.

Step 11: Carefully remove the old strut assembly from the vehicle. Be very cautious not to let the strut "drop" down

on your brake line, rotor or drum.

Step 12: Install the new
