How do you change shocks on a 1992 jeep wrangler?

Answer 1

With the proper tools & patience, this should not be too difficult if you have moderate mechanical skills. First start about a week BEFORE you plan to take them off and soak them with PB Blaster or another good penetrating oil (WD-40 is NOT a penetrating oil but a moisture dispersant). The get breaker bars & AIR TOOLS. Be gentle. If these will not loosen the bolts & nuts, take it to a shop & have them do it cause they will probably need to torch the shocks off (the extreme heat ex[ands the nuts so they can be loosened. But by soaking the nuts/bolts for about a week, it usually allows them to be broken loose with the tools most people have available. Then buy some GOOD shcks to put on. I put on Edlebrocks & was amazed at the ride difference in my 1991 Wrangler. Of course they also cost about $75 each so were not cheap but worth it in my opinion. I liked them so much I also used Edlebrock when I replaced my Yukon's shocks. If you decide to do it yourself, make sure you practice good safety. Use jack stands and make sure vehicle is solid on them BEFORE pulling tires & crawling underneath.
