2009 Mule Trans R&R front shock

[Txsmurph]

I have a 2009 Mule Trans that I bought with a 4" lift. I believe that the rt front shock is broken. ? is there anything special that I need to be aware of while removing and replacing the shock? Where to support the suspension, tools...Thanks

You will need to lift and support the frontend on jack stands. Then you can put a jack under the front suspension arm and lift to where you can move the shock around with it's own slack at the bolts. After you remove the nuts on the mounting bolts, you should be able to remove the bolts with you finger tips. If you can raise or lower the suspension arm until you have the slack. Use box wrenches so you don't round the bolt & nut edges. A bottle jack or floorjack and jack stands. You may have to remove the wheel to have enough room to work. Good luck!
