You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 22731055 fits your vehicle.

To remove the rear wheels, start by loosening the lug nuts and blocking the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Then, raise the rear of the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Once the vehicle is properly supported, remove the rear wheels. Next, use a floor jack to support the lower control arm. Install a spring compressor tool and compress the spring until it is loose against the insulators between the body and lower control arm. Unbolt the outboard end of the lower control arm from the knuckle and lower the arm and the coil spring using the floor jack. Remove the coil spring from the control arm. If a new spring is being installed, carefully release the original spring from the compressor tool. If the spring is being reused, leave it compressed with the tool in place. To install the components, follow the reverse order of removal and tighten the lower control arm mounting fasteners to the specified torque.

The compressed spring should be carefully lifted from the assembly and set aside.
