Pontiac 25858208 Front Suspension Strut Assembly

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 25858208 fits your vehicle.

The strut and spring assembly should be removed and mounted in a vise, taking care to protect the unit.

Park the vehicle on level ground, turn the engine off and set the parking brake. Check the tire pressures. Push down at one corner of the vehicle, then release it while noting the movement of the body. It should stop moving and come to rest in a level position within one or two bounces. If the vehicle continues to move up-and-down or if it fails to return to its original position, a worn or weak shock absorber is probably the reason. Repeat the above check at each of the three remaining corners of the vehicle.

Simply reverse the removal steps and tighten the mounting fasteners to the specified torque.

Guide the strut into position and secure the fasteners to prevent the strut from falling back through. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange and insert the two bolts, matching the previously marked position of the strut to the steering knuckle.
