  Q: How do I remove and install a shock absorber?

  A: To remove the upper shock mounting nut, use a wrench on the stem and take off the retainer and grommet. Lift the vehicle onto jackstands. From below, detach the two bolts from the shock absorber's lower end to the Control Arm. Pull the shock out and remove the lower grommet and retainer. To reinstall, reverse these steps, ensuring the mounting nut and bolts are tight. For 4WD models, raise the vehicle, remove the lower and upper shock mounting components, noting bolt directions. To install, follow the reverse order, ensuring bolts face the original direction and all fasteners are secure.
