How to remove rear struts on 2001 chrysler 300m

Be sure it's not just a bad connection or wire that has departed the sensor itself.

Remove or disconnect the following:
NOTE
Hold the hex on the attaching link stud while breaking the nut loose. The attaching link does not have to be removed from the strut.
Rear wheel
Caliper assembly and rotor from the hub, if equipped with rear disc brakes
Brake flex hose from the support bracket and wheel cylinder, if equipped with rear drum brakes. Plug the brake flex hose to prevent system contamination. Do not allow the rear caliper to hang by the brake hose. Support the caliper off of the frame with a strong piece of wire.
Speed sensor cable routing bracket and tube, if equipped with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Lateral links to the rear spindle assembly bolts
Rear strut assembly-to-stabilizer bar attaching link at the stabilizer bar
Remove the rear spindle-to-strut assembly pinch bolt. Install a center punch in the hole on the spindle and tap the punch into the hole until jammed. This will spread the spindle casting allowing it to be removed from the strut.
Using a hammer, tap on the top surface of the spindle, driving the spindle down and off the end of the strut assembly. Let the spindle and assembled components hang from the trailing arm while the strut is being serviced.
From inside the trunk of the vehicle, remove the 3 upper strut mounting bolts and remove the strut from the vehicle.
Disassemble the strut by performing the following procedure:
NOTE
Service of the coil spring requires the use of a coil spring compressor tool. It is required that 5 coils be captured within the jaws of the compressor tool.

If the tires and struts are good, check the CV joints, front end bushings and Tie Rod ends.

This is not a job for the novice. If you do get through the repair withour being injured, you will still have to go have your car aligned.

This is dangerous ... working with many unknown forces. If you are bent on doing this repair ... at least get to the library and read up on what you are up against.

either the strut is not tight or the strut mount it bad. did you change the strut mount when you changed the strut?

TORX????

They are rear struts not shocks.

Tapping sound could be a worn cam shaft, or a bad valve spring. try adding a bottle of Marvel Mystery oil to free up the spring, since you had the engine apart. Dirt may be the problem. Good luck.

To remove the battery in my 2001 300m you have to take off the front passenger side wheel/tire and remove the access panel and the battery will come out.

if front wheel drive its struts
if rear wheel drive its shocks
this is how you tell them apart
