To Install: Rear strut assembly removal/installation # Position the strut on the rear suspension. # Install the strut to knuckle bolts. Tighten the bolts to 90 lb ft (122 Nm). # Connect the stabilizer bar link to the strut. # Install the tire and wheel assembly. # Install the three upper strut mounting nuts.
