To change the front struts on a 2008 Dodge Caliber, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Disconnect the strut from the steering knuckle and remove the upper strut mount bolts from the engine bay. Replace the old strut with the new one, reattach the upper and lower connections, and finally, reinstall the wheels and lower the vehicle. Ensure all fasteners are torqued to specifications and check the alignment afterward.
The 2007 Dodge Caliber is equipped with front struts, not shocks. Struts serve as a structural part of the suspension system, providing support and absorbing impacts from the road. If you’re looking to replace or service the front suspension, you’ll be dealing with struts.

New struts on a 2008 Dodge Caliber may make noise due to improper installation, such as not tightening bolts to the correct torque specifications or failing to align components properly. It's also possible that the struts themselves are defective or that other suspension components, like sway bar links or bushings, are worn and causing noise. Additionally, if the struts are not properly lubricated or if there is air trapped in the strut assembly, this can lead to noise during operation.
These are not Shocks on the 06 ...They are struts and not for those without experience. If you don't know what you are doing...go to a pro.
get the steering parts checked out along with the front struts.
