For the 2000 and later Deville/DTS models and all Seville models, the removal process is slightly different. Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Block the front wheels and remove the rear wheel. Detach the stabilizer bar link from the control arm and support the lower control arm with a floor jack placed under the end of the control arm. Detach the shock absorber from the control arm and the toe link from the control arm. Slowly lower the floor jack until the control arm comes to rest against the suspension support, and then remove the coil spring.

Install the strut coil spring assembly. Once the strut is in place in the strut tower, install the upper mounting nuts or bolts to prevent the strut coil spring assembly from falling back through. This may require an assistant due to the weight and awkwardness of the strut. If equipped, reconnect the electrical connector to the strut. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the two bolts, with the bolt heads pointing towards the front of the vehicle. Install the nuts, align the marks, and tighten them to the specified torque. On 1999 models, reconnect the stabilizer bar link to the strut and tighten the nut to the specified torque. Reconnect the brake hose and ABS harness brackets to the strut, tightening the bolts securely. Install the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Finally, tighten the three upper mounting nuts or bolts to the specified torque.

Hold the shaft stationary with the proper tool.

It is crucial to exercise extreme caution when removing a coil spring to avoid any serious injuries.
