The ride will be a lot rougher overall without the addition of better shocks because the torsion bars are turned up.
I turned up my torsion bars some to help level truck. do i need to get larger shocks now? i have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD.
Your videos are very helpful and the best I have found. Thank you for posting them.
great job, keep up the good work

Great Channel Mike! I’ve bought several parts and will continue to do so. Your prices and video tips are excellent.
change rear shocks on a 2008 saturn arura
You shouldn’t need one after replaceing these shocks.
Do you need to get the alignment redone after you install the new shocks?
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this particular repair.
What do you do to change them on a 1966 ford F-100 4×4 ?
I know that this post is old but I just changed my front shocks. I removed the old and then I put the top threads in the top bracket of course palce your bushings on beforehand.
Then bolt your lower bolt. Jack the A-arm up a little put your top bushing on and secure with nut and torque your bottom bolt.
Not really sure what mike is talking about the shock has to have a load on it or it will shoot out of the car? My shocks were full extended and the way i did it there was no chance of it.
We carry aftermarket shocks on our website that are just like the factory ones. They’re a great replacement for the original shocks. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Awesome video. I have an 01 Tahoe LS 4×4 what do you recommend for a replacement shocks. Thanks.
The issue is the shock has to not have a load on it to properly install on the vehicle or it will shoot out of the car.
Can I get away with not lifting the truck? Thanks for the Video it’s very informative. Thanks again!
You should be able to just lift the one side up in the air to remove the shock.
to change the shocks do we have to lift the car (all the wheels) or just car jack is going to be fine? (on the one side)
thanks.
Something like that is going to be way to vague to diagnosis over the internet. Your best bet would be to bring it to a mechanic and have them do all the leg work to figure out what is wrong and then go and do the work yourself.
I have a 2000 gmc Denali it was making thumping noises every time front wheels move now it won’t turn on Im replacing actuator but what else could it be?
I like your new intro, Mike. One day you might try using a lavalier mic for the intro — it really improves voice audio, at the expense of a little more effort. Not so practical when your are turning wrenches but great for an intro.
You just tighten up the nut pretty good with a wrench just like with the lower bolt.
how tight does the top nut on the new shock have to be?
Great video, thanks for the upload! Probably the only straightforward shock replacement video I’ve seen on these vehicles.
That will speed up the process!
taught me good thanks
