Strut Assembly: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Care should be taken to avoid chipping or scratching the coating when handling the suspension coil spring. Damage to the coating can cause premature failure.
  1. Remove the strut-to-body mount nuts. See Figure.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle.
  3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
  4. Remove the stabilizer shaft link from the strut. See STABILIZER SHAFT .
  5. Remove the bolt from the brake hose bracket and the strut assembly.
  6. Scribe the strut to the knuckle. See Figure.
    7. CAUTION: The knuckle must be retained after the strut-to-knuckle bolts have been removed. Failure to observe this may cause ball joint and/or wheel drive shaft damage.
