Check for leaking fluid, dents, cracks, and other damage. Also, check the coil spring for chips or cracks and inspect the spring seat, rubber isolators, bushings, dust shield, and jounce bumper for any deterioration. Replace any components as necessary.

To disassemble the shock absorber assembly, start by removing it and reinstalling the clevis bracket on the shock absorber. Clamp the shock absorber in a vertical position in a vise. Next, compress the coil spring using a coil spring compressor and remove the shock absorber damper rod nut. Take off the damper rod washer, upper control arm mounting bracket, and isolator bushings from the damper rod. Remove the shock absorber upper isolator bushing, lower isolator bushing, and sleeve from the upper control arm mounting bracket. Then, remove the upper spring isolator from the mounting bracket and the lower isolator bushing from the damper rod sleeve. Remove the washer and dust shield from the shock absorber assembly, followed by the compressed coil spring. Take off the jounce bumper and sleeve from the shock absorber assembly, as well as the coil spring isolator from the lower spring seat on the shock absorber. For inspection, check the shock absorber for rod binding, and inspect the shock mount, upper spring seat/isolator, and coil spring for any cracks, distortion, deterioration, rips, chips, or corrosion. Replace any worn or defective components. To assemble, reverse the disassembly steps. When installing the sleeve on the shock absorber rod, ensure the undercut side of the sleeve faces downward. Reinstall the top and bottom shock absorber rod bushings exactly as they were when removed. Finally, install the shock absorber/coil spring assembly.

Check for leaking fluid, dents, cracks, and other obvious damage. Also, check the coil spring for chips and corrosion. Replace any damaged components.
