"Installation: Refer to instruction sheet located inside replacement strut box or vehicle service manual."

I think they mean look at the instruction sheet or look at the service manual

Explanation:
"Instalalción: Consulte la hoja dentro de la caja de la barra de repuesto o el manual de servicio del vehículo"
That is the exact translation of the sentence. Now, strut has about six different translations: barra, montante, puntal, refuerzo, tirante and tornapunta Pg.356 of the SAE Glossary of Automotive Terminology. You choose. I prefer barra (more generic) but the ASE manual of Words and Phrases gives "puntal" on page 27.
Hope it helps.

Explanation:
...your interpretation.

Most likely, there is an exact copy of that page within the service manual, but they're saying, if you don't want to look it up, there's also a copy attached to a part of the vehicle.

In general, the most relevant parts of a service manual are also given in the form of sheets attached to parts of a device.

I translate service manuals for copiers and so on, so I know it's standard practice.

Hope that helps :)

It could also mean a sheet inserted in the manual. Usually, when a sheet is inserted in the manual after it has been printed, it\'s because that certain part of the manual has been modified or updated.

But only from your text, I cannot tell if this is the case...
