You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 48530-39386 fits your vehicle.

To separate the strut from the steering knuckle: Remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts. Knock the bolts out with a hammer and punch. Be cautious not to overextend the inner CV joint. Prevent the steering knuckle from falling outward to avoid damaging the brake hose.

If the vehicle is equipped with ABS and electronic modulated suspension, the brake hose should be detached from the strut and the shock absorber wiring harness should be disconnected.

To reassemble the strut and spring assembly: 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 and install the rubber bumper. Place the coil spring onto the lower insulator, ensuring the end fits into the recessed portion of the lower seat. Install the upper insulator and spring seat, aligning the flats on the damper shaft with the flats in the spring seat. Align the "OUT" mark on the upper spring seat with the mark on the upper insulator. For front struts, ensure the arrow on the spring seat faces toward the lower bracket. For rear struts, position the suspension support with the pointed part facing out and the hole centered on the strut bracket. Install the dust seal and suspension support to the damper shaft. Install the nut and tighten it to the specified torque. Remove the spring compressor tool. Finally, install the strut spring assembly.
