Good video – I've got an NC with bad rear bump stops that I'll be changing to neoprene. I guess your stops were ok but have you heard that they fail in the NC's?
I think your rear shock was still good. The job of the shock is to dampen, not lift the vehicle. Yours still appeared to have plenty of dampening left.
ayeee your the dude who taught me how to replace spark plugs on a tacoma lmao
What is the torque specs?
Great video but the background music was irritating.
How have these shocks held up?
Thanks. I'm going to give it a try!
Straight to the point and no B.S. added.. Love it… Thanks for doing what you do..
you should of jacked up the rotor before tightening everything down. that would of solved your loose spring dilemma
Nice Job, Easier than I thought
Probably not a good idea to undo the top cap bolt without first fitting the spring compressors in place, on top of being very dangerous it makes it very difficult and even more dangerous to compress the springs for refitting afterwards, I suggest you put the spring compressors on first and get them balanced evenly before removing the top bolt, also there should be a dust boot on some types of shocks, there certainly is on the original, it may pay to check on this beforehand.
Might as well have gotten cheap tein coilovers for like 200$ more
Thanks for putting this together! I have a '97 M-Series that I'm going to update with new sways & coil-overs. You've given me a great start on planning my time, tools, and technique for the project!
Your "LocTight" was PST which is a thread sealer for fittings. Every LocTight thread locker is colored red or blue never white
You could’ve bought racelands for 250
Just watched this about 5 times over the last couple days. Installing my Tein's and this helped me. I'm of course filming my own video now too. Rears are done, gonna take care of the fronts as soon as my arms recover 😀
The fronts always a bitch im talking it now
One can tell alot by their choice of music. In this case. Noise
Cool video. Nice background tunes.
thank you for this…gotta change mine soon…bumps been killing my back
