Nissan 56200-0W026 ABSORBER Shock

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 56200-0W026 fits your vehicle.

The initial steps include loosening the front wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle securely on jackstands. Then, you proceed with removing the wheels.

Remove the piston rod nut. Remove the upper mount. Inspect the bearing in the mount for smooth operation, and replace it if it does not turn smoothly. Check the rubber portion of the mount for cracking and general deterioration, and replace it if there is any separation of the rubber. Lift the spring seat and upper insulator from the piston rod. Check the rubber spring seat for cracking and hardness, and replace it if necessary. Carefully lift the compressed spring from the assembly and set it in a safe place. Slide the dust boot off the piston rod. Check the lower insulator for wear, cracking, and hardness, and replace it if necessary. If replacing the lower insulator, set it into position with the dropped portion seated in the lowest part of the seat. Extend the damper rod to its full length and install the dust boot. Carefully place the coil spring onto the lower insulator, with the end of the spring resting in the lowest part of the insulator. Install the upper insulator and the spring seat, ensuring the cutout on the spring seat faces in, away from the strut-to-knuckle flange. Install the dust seal and upper mount to the piston rod. Install a new piston rod nut and tighten it to the specified torque.

To check the shock absorbers/struts, park the vehicle on level ground, push down on each corner of the vehicle, and observe if it stops moving and returns to a level position within one or two bounces.

No, it is not necessary to remove the rear wheels, but doing so will improve access to the shock absorbers.
