2. Remove the wheels from the vehicle.
3. Begin by loosening the lug nuts with a 15mm socket with breaker bar while the vehicle is on the ground, but do not remove them at this time.
4. Safely elevate the vehicle. Reference your Owner’s Manual for proper lifting techniques.
5. Once safely elevated, remove and retain the lug nuts and set aside.
6. Remove the wheels and set aside.
7. Remove and retain the four front fascia fasteners with a T40 TORX® socket.

15. If reusing the A-arm, inspect the ball joint and ball joint boot for wear, tears or damage and replace if necessary.
16. Thoroughly clean with a shop rag before reinstalling. If replacing the A-arm, new A-arm bushings, pivot tubes and a ball joint will need to be installed into the arm.
17. Pivot the shock up and align the A-arm with mounting holes in the frame.
18. Reinstall the retained upper A-arm mounting fastener from the front of the vehicle and loosely install a new nut.
19. Reinstall the retained upper A-arm mounting fastener from the front of the vehicle.

23. Before installing, inspect the shock bushings for any wear or damage and ensure they are fully seated.
24. Reinstall the retained upper shock mounting fastener from the rear of the vehicle and loosely install a new nut.
