Are the struts on your vehicle damaged? Follow this guide to replace the boot struts on a Jeep Cherokee. Lift the boot and secure it (use wooden or metal bars to hold the boot), then use a screwdriver to remove the securing clips located at both ends of the strut.

Detach the damaged strut and install the new part in the two slots on opposite sides. Secure the strut with the metal clips.

Repeat the same process for the removal/installation of the other strut.
