How to Service and Repair a Shock Absorber in a Suspension Strut on 2001 Chrysler Sebring?

The first step to serve and fix the suspension strut is to loosen the wheel nuts and lift the vehicle using a jack stand or a frame contact type hoist. Remove the tire and wheel from the front area where you'll take out a shock and mark the two shock assemblies as right or left if they're both being replaced. Detach the bracket for the wheel speed sensor cable routing from the steering knuckle and afterwards remove the cotter pin and castle nut. Attach the Puller, Special Tool, C-3894-A to pull and remove, the upper ball joint stud from the steering knuckle. First, disconnect the bolts connecting the shock absorber clevis to the clevis and the lower control arm, removing the pinch bolt and then the nut and thru-bolt. Tap the clevis off the shock absorber using a soft brass drift and then pull out the four bolts securing the front shock's mounting bracket to the shock tower. Finally, lift the shock off through the front wheel well. Before disassembling, use strut spring compressor W-7200 by Pentastar Service Equipment and if both the spring and shock must be serviced, mark them together. Attach the shock assembly to the compressor, tighten it according to the maker's guidelines and take out all tension from the upper bracket by activating the coil spring. Clip the top-nut socket onto the shock rod and remove both the retainer nut and the upper bushing retainer washer. Take off the clamp from the coil spring and remove the shock absorber along with each of its parts. Review every component for any damage and change them as needed. Connection should follow the steps used for disassembly in reverse and be certain to align the coil spring and isolators properly. Screw the shock assembly into the shock tower, putting together the locating pins and matching holes and use four bolts that are tightly tightened at 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Stick the clevis to the shock absorber and check that it is in place; after that, insert and tighten the pinch bolt to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.). Slide the top ball joint into position on the steering knuckle, then secure it with a tightened castle nut (54 Nm or 40 ft. lbs.) and a cotter pin. Connect the bracket for the speed control cable to the routing bracket and check that the lower control arm is taking the weight. When you have done this, tighten the shock absorber clevis to lower control arm bushing thru-bolt nut to ensure the nut is secure. Afterwards, put the tire and wheel back into place, making sure the stud nuts are tightened to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.) before the vehicle is lowering.
