Carry out your vehicle maintenance regularly; inspect suspension components and steering linkage since damaged or worn parts can cause strange tire wear, affect the comfort of car ride, cause poor handling, and also reduce fuel economy. To evaluate shock absorbers, drive the vehicle to a level area, stop with engine off and parking brake applied. Inspect tire pressures, press down on each corner of the car and watch for its motion up and down. After one or two bounces, it should settle in a level position. It is an indication that there are good brakes or good shocks when it will not continue bouncing or go back to the starting angle. Perform this test at the remaining three corners of the vehicle while lifting it with jack stands in order to examine rear shock absorbers as well as front struts for fluid leakage and firm attachment without being damaged. Replace them as a set if there is any sign of fluid loss. Look at all steering and suspension systems for damage or distortion using your eyes and also check them for seepage into boot which is torn apart by boot damage again. In addition to that move steering wheel inwards and away from you looking for movement in steering knuckle-to-control arm balljoint place while holding tires to feel for play within steering system components. Replace those which are worn out or blemished in any way. Finally check CV boots especially outer CV boots for cuts, splits or loose clamps. Scrub them with soap solution then replace if signs of impairedness like tears exist anywhere else there could be some leakages of lubricant oil because they play an important role in safeguarding CV joints against debris, moisture and other foreign particles.

Install a spring compressor according to the manufacturer's instructions to relieve pressure from the upper spring seat, which can be verified by wiggling the spring.

The first step is to raise the rear of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands, while blocking the front wheels to prevent movement.
