The first step involves removing the strut assembly and inserting the strut spring compressor (J 34013-B) into holding fixture bench mount (J 3289-20). The compressor adapter (J 34013-88) allows users to install the strut assembly into the strut spring compressor (J 34013-B) which compresses the coil spring. First move the dust cap aside along with the strut rod piston nut before the compressed spring can be released. Use the strut spring compressor (J 34013-B) to extract the strut support and dust seal combined with spring seat along with upper insulator and coil spring and spring bumper and lower insulator from the strut assembly. When installing the strut place the lower insulator followed by spring bumper and coil spring then upper insulator and spring seat using dust seal before mounting the strut support. Use the compressor adapter (J 34013-88) to put the strut assembly inside the strut spring compressor (J 34013-B) before repeating the coil spring compression. Fasten the strut rod piston nut until it reaches 47 n.m (34 lb ft) of torque. Transport wheel bearing lubricant gm p/n 1051344 (Canadian P/N 933037) or equivalent into the strut support before putting on the dust cap and releasing the compressed coil spring. Eliminate the strut from the strut spring compressor (J 34013-B) before putting in the strut assembly.

One of its critical components is the Chevrolet Cavalier Shock Absorber which forms part of the suspension system on the Chevrolet Cavalier and still remains a very reliable performance component. Being a part of the suspension system which is aimed at the absorption of shock impulses and their ensuing dampening, this Shock Absorber contributes greatly to the improvement of the Cavalier's ride quality and riding characteristics, which should explain as to why it was used in a number of the Cavalier models ranging from 1982 to 2005, as well as in the models produced and designed in China and Mexico. Implemented as a replacement of shock absorbers, the Chevrolet Cavalier Shock Absorber transforms Kinetic energy to heat and thus help the car to bypass the impact of the rough terrain while at the same time restricting large movements of the suspension system with the help of hydraulic pistons. It has used both twin tube and mono tube design and the later has a better heat sinking and performing ability than the former Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 has used both the twin tube and the mono-tube kinematic suspension. Such features as Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) and Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) fine-tune the Shock Absorber's operations in terms of the varying driving conditions, hereby increasing both functionality and durability. Some of the aspects of Chevrolet Cavalier's physical characteristics include weight distribution that regards the impacts of the Shock Absorber; handling and stability ratios of the automobile are praiseworthy. Chevrolet Cavalier Shock Absorber is an example of this innovative technology merged with engineering genius in the market of automotive and Chevrolateor manufacturing that conveys their tradition and dedication of manufacturing efficient and reliable compact cars. In conclusion, the Chevrolet Cavalier Shock Absorber not only contributes to improving the revelance and excitement of the ride but is also probingly useful in providing safety and comfort to the travelers.
