To replace a strut back into the MacPherson suspension, proceed as follows: 1. Extend the piston rod on the new strut (or cartridge) to its full length. 2. Reinstall the coil spring and other components in the reverse order that they were removed. Make sure the spring is positioned properly on the lower spring seat. MODIFIED MACPHERSON STRUTS To replace a strut on a modified MacPherson suspension, proceed as follows: 1. Raise the car and support the lower control arms with a jack or jack stands. 2. Remove the upper shaft nut, but not the upper strut mount retaining bolts. If a mount rivet is used, do not remove it either. 3. Remove the brake caliper. If necessary, unbolt the strut from the spindle. 4. Remove the strut assembly and upper mount. Discard the strut assembly. 5. If the upper mount has a rubber jounce bumper inside the dust shield, inspect it and replace if damaged.
