CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation is necessary. Do not use a new part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts. NOTE: New cam bolts and lock nuts must be installed whenever the lower control arm is removed. 1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-04. 2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. For additional information, refer to Section 204-04. 3. Remove two bolts, one pushpin and the shield. 4. NOTE: To remove the nut, first loosen the nut, then use the hex holding feature to prevent the stabilizer bar link ball joint from turning while removing the nut. Remove and discard the nut and while prying down on the bar, disconnect the stabilizer bar link. 5. Remove and discard the nut and bolt. Disconnect the shock absorber and spring assembly. 6. NOTE: The hex holding feature can be used to prevent turning of the stud while removing the nut. NOTE: Make sure not to lose the tapered washer on the ball joint. Remove and discard the nut. Separate the front suspension lower arm from the wheel knuckle. 7. Remove and discard the front nut and bolt.

All vehicles CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a new part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts. 1. Remove the upper radiator sight shield. 2. Remove the air cleaner. For additional information, refer to Section 303-12. 3. Drain the engine cooling system. For additional information, refer to Section 303-03. 4. Disconnect the upper radiator hose. 5. Disconnect the lower radiator hose. 6. Disconnect the dual flow coolant valve electrical connector and the A/C line from the fan shroud. 3.0L Engines 7. Disconnect the throttle position (TP) sensor and the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connectors. All vehicles 8. Separate the return hose from the fan shroud and position aside. 9. Disconnect the lower radiator hose. 10. Remove the two bolts and position the multi-cooler assembly and fan shroud assembly aside. 11. Remove the front wheel and tire assemblies. For additional information, refer to Section 204-04. 12. Remove two pushpins, four bolts and both splash shields. 13. Remove the bolts and the shield. 14. NOTE: To remove the nut, first loosen the nut, then use the hex holding feature to prevent the stabilizer bar link ball joint from turning while removing the nut. Remove the nut and disconnect the stabilizer bar link (5K483). Discard the nut. 15. NOTE: To remove the nut, first loosen the nut, then use the hex holding feature to prevent the stabilizer bar link ball joint from turning while removing the nut.

Removal 1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist. 2. Remove the front wheel and tire assembly. 3. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the 6mm drive hole in the front stabilizer bar link ball stud, do not use an Allen wrench to break loose or tighten to final torque the front stabilizer bar link-to-front shock absorber nut. Remove the stabilizer bar link retaining nut and disconnect the link from the strut. 4. CAUTION: Do not allow the halfshaft to move outboard. Over extension of the CV joint may result in the separation of internal parts, causing failure of the joint. Remove the strut assembly-to-steering knuckle pinch bolt. If required, slightly spread the steering knuckle to ease the removal of the strut. Pry down on the lower control arm and roll the strut base out of the knuckle. Do not pry on the halfshaft, as damage may result. Wire the steering knuckle up to prevent the halfshaft from moving outboard. 5. Partially lower the vehicle. 6. Support the strut assembly and remove the top three mount-to-strut tower nuts. Remove the strut assembly from the vehicle. 7. CAUTION: The strut assembly is under spring tension. Attempting to disassemble the strut without properly compressing the spring can result in injury. Using a suitable spring compressing tool, slightly compress the strut spring to relieve initial tension. Loosen the upper rod nut. Continue to compress the spring until the tension is relieved. Remove the upper rod nut. 8. Remove all upper mounting parts, coil spring, and coil spring isolators from the strut and save them for reassembly. Carefully note the position of each part during removal to ensure proper reassembly. Inspect each part for wear and damage as it is removed. Installation 1. CAUTION: The bearing and seal assembly is press-fit onto the upper mount. The mount washers must be installed in the correct orientation. NOTE: Be sure to check the spring insulator for damage before assembly. If the outer metal splash shield is bent or damaged, it must be carefully bent back, so it does not touch the locator on the bearing and seal assembly. NOTE: New gas struts are shipped with the rod in a locked down position. To extend the new strut, remove the external tie down and/or rotate the upper end of the rod, counterclockwise. Install the coil spring insulator, coil spring, and upper mounting parts to the new strut assembly. Make sure the spring is correctly seated in both spring seats.
