Installation summary
Replacing this tension strut requires a medium difficulty skill level and can be accomplished by an experienced DIY enthusiast with proper garage equipment. You will need standard metric hand tools, a torque wrench, and a suspension ball joint separator to safely disconnect the arm from the steering knuckle and subframe. The most critical step is to ensure final suspension fasteners are fully torqued only while the vehicle’s weight is resting on its wheels at normal ride height to prevent premature bushing failure.
