Tools used
Let's safely raise and support the vehicle, and then we're gonna remove our wheel. Now that we have the wheel off, let's go ahead and remove our sway bar link. Move along to removing this from the strut. All right. Now, let's remove this bolt right here. Pull this stuff off of there. Set it aside. All right. The next thing that we need to do is go ahead and remove our mounting bolts that hold our knuckle to the strut itself. Carefully, tap these outta here. Separate the two.
The next thing we need to do is back up on top. We're gonna remove these three mounting nuts. Keep in mind that those are the only three things that are holding the strut into the vehicle. Definitely don't touch this center nut. Leave that one on a little bit. Now, I'm gonna come through the wheel well, hold up on my strut, and remove my last nut up there. Carefully, draw this out through the wheel well. There it is, friends.
The next thing we wanna do is put our brand new strut in here. What I like to use is a little bit of red thread locker, and I'll also put my nuts that I'm gonna be using up top so they're ready for me.
Back inside the wheel well, let's get ready to put our knuckle into the strut. Watch out for that EBS wire, obviously. Let's bottom these out. All right. Now, we're gonna torque this to 214 foot-pounds. Let's get this in here. Now, we'll get this on. Get your little tab. Push it in just like that. Take your brake hose. Slide it over the top. Start in your bolt. Snug it up. Let's get the sway bar link in here. Okay. That's bottomed out. Now, we're gonna go ahead and torque this to 55 foot-pounds.
Now, let's get the wheel on. With the wheel just barely touching the ground so it can't spin, let's go ahead and torque these lugnuts, 76 foot-pounds. Torqued. Let's get all the way to the vehicle on the ground. Okay. So now, let's bottom these out, and then we're gonna torque them to 63 foot-pounds.
Okay. The process would be the same for the other side of the vehicle. And also, you wanna make sure you get yourself an alignment.

All right. One of the first things we need to do is safely raise and support the vehicle, so the wheel's off the ground. We're gonna remove the lug nuts and take the tire off. Let's go ahead and get the upper portion of the sway bar link off of the strut. Use your wrench, and then you're gonna need to use a tool to hold the center. There we are. Now, let's go ahead and get our flex hose disconnected from the strut. With that out of the way, we have a clearer view of our ABS wire. Remove that as well. Now, let's separate the knuckle from the strut itself by removing these two bolts. Hold the bolt side, remove the nut. There we are.
Now, we need to get inside the back of the vehicle to the rear seat. We're gonna grab on to the lower portion and lift straight up, and it should wanna pop free. There we are. There should be one clip on the driver side and one over on the passenger side as well. Let's get this right out of the way. Now, we're gonna get our seat belts off of this area right here. There we are. Slide it right along the side like that. All right. So now looking down along the side here, you're gonna see two mounting bolts, we wanna remove both of those. Don't mess with this right there. This is for your airbag system, so we don't wanna touch it. Inside the trunk, you wanna go ahead and pull on the tab for the corresponding seat.
Let's go ahead and pull down that seat now. Now, let's grab onto this, we're gonna pull out and lift up at the same time, and just kinda set this aside but be careful for that wiring for the airbag. So now that that's out of the way, we have a clear view of the upper strut mounting area. This one here, this one is the easiest to get to. There we are. We're just gonna remove all three of these. You might notice once the nuts start coming up, it gets a little bit harder to fit your socket in. If that's the case, just switch to a ratchet wrench. Now, with one hand, I wanna reach inside the wheel well and hold up on that rear strut. And then when I do that, I'm gonna remove my last nut. Okay, the nuts off. Let's pull it out of here. And there it is.
Okay, friends, now it's gonna be time to get our rear strut into the vehicle. Come down and under, try to line up my holes. Now that's up there, let's start on all three of our nuts real quick. Now let's get back inside the wheel well, get our knuckle up into the strut there, put in both of our bolts, and then we'll torque them down. Now, let's torque these to 214 foot-pounds. Now, let's get our ABS wire reattached. Get this flex hose back on here. Let's get our sway bar link in here. Let's torque this to 55 foot-pounds. Let's get the wheel back on here. We'll snug up all the lug nuts and then we'll torque them to 76 foot-pounds. With the wheel so it's just barely touching the ground, let's go ahead and torque these. Torqued.
Now, that we have those torqued, let's go ahead and get inside the vehicle so we can continue by torquing the upper strut mount. Once they're snug, go ahead and torque all three to 29 foot-pounds. Okay, let's get this back in here now. Just pay attention to your little hooky-do that you have here, and then the slot that you have on the body. Obviously, you need to go up and over, slide it down, then we're gonna put in our two mounting bolts. Let's put in our two mounting bolts, snug them up, lock in your seat, get your seat belt back in here. Now, it's gonna be time to get our rear seat back in here. Make sure you grab onto those seat belt buckles, slide this in and back. There we are. Then latch it in.

All right. One of the first things we need to do is safely raise and support the vehicle so the wheel's off the ground. We're gonna remove the lug nuts and take the tire off. Let's go ahead and get the proportion of the sway bar link off of the strut. Use your wrench, and then you're gonna need to use a tool to hold the center. There we are. Now, let's do the same to the lower. Let's get ready to install our brand new sway bar link.
Something I want you to look at is right here on the stud. You have an area that you can grab onto with a wrench. Start that nut on there. Let's get our sway bar link in here. Let's torque this to 55 foot-pounds. Do the same to the other one. Let's get the wheel back on here. We'll snug up all the lug nuts, and then, we'll torque them to 76 foot-pounds. With the wheel so it's just barely touching the ground, let's go ahead and torque these. Torqued.
