Start by removing the retaining nut together with washer and insulator assembly before raising the vehicle. The process for dismantling a live axle shock absorber includes discarding the bolt and nut. Those with independent rear suspension should first discard the bolt and nut along with the shock absorber, then remove its insulator and washer from the absorber. Proper priming of the new shock unit must be followed by installation of a new washer together with an insulator assembly. The shock absorber on live axle vehicles must be placed correctly followed by installation of new bolt and nut. Independent rear suspension vehicles must have the hardened washer installed between lower suspension arm and bushing and the shock absorber to stop damage from occurring. Placing the shock absorber into position requires the installation of new bolt and nut. The process requires an assistant whose task is to direct the shock absorber placement at the body opening while the hoist lowers itself. The last step is to lower the vehicle before adding a new insulator and washer together with a nut and replacing the luggage compartment carpet and finally closing the lid. Relacement parts should be brand-new with equivalent part numbers and maintenance of correct torque specifications will provide effective retention of essential suspension hardware.
