During reassembly, ensure that all parts are correctly positioned. Inspect all components for wear or damage and replace them if necessary. Be diligent in tightening all fasteners to their specified torque and consider replacing self-locking nuts. After completing the reassembly, it's recommended to check the front wheel alignment and, if applicable, calibrate the steering angle sensor, especially if the vehicle has active steering.

The steering and suspension check includes inspecting tires for irregular wear patterns and proper inflation, checking the universal joint and steering gear housing for leakage, examining tie-rod ends and all suspension and steering components for damage or wear, testing the movement of the steering components while an assistant turns the steering wheel, checking balljoints for play and inspecting their boots for damage, and inspecting the suspension arm bushings at the rear of the vehicle for deterioration.

Loosen and remove the nut that secures the shock absorber to the lower mount. Use a wrench to counterhold the shock absorber shaft while removing the nut.
