I went to AutoZone.com. They have detailed instruction. I have a 98 Astro van. They didn't have the repair proceedure for 98. I checked an earlier year, 93 I think, and found the same setup. The problem I'm having is getting the old nut loose that holds the shock rod to the upper control arm. The only way to keep the rod from turning, is with a tiny wrench on the flat spot on the top of the rod. Not nearly enough leverage to loosen a nut that hasn't been off in a long time. I'm beginning to consider torch. Any ideas?
They have struts in the front and shocks in the rear.
All Chevrolet Celebrity's use struts in the front. As information they use shocks in the rear suspension.
It does not have shocks on the front it has struts which should only be replace by a professional. The rear shocks are easily replaced. Just unbolt them and install the new ones.
no, not at all replace the front when the time comes..
When you find it faulty and need to be replaced
Yes, just like any other truck.
The 1994 Chevrolet Astro front speakers measure four inches by six inches. The rear speakers measure five inches by seven inches.
You will need to remove the tire and wheel from your 2004 Chevrolet Astro Van. Remove the end of the axle. Remove the wheel bearing nut. Remove the wheel bearing and the wheel seal. Reverse the process to install the new wheel bearing.
The year of your Chevrolet Blazer will determine whether it has front shocks for front struts. Front shocks are held in place by a retaining bolt on each end of the shock. Remove the retaining bolts and the shock will come off. Reverse the process to install the new shock.
The shocks are very easy to replace. You have 2 bolts holding the bottem on and 1 on the top. Remove the from wheels. You can use common ratchet set. Don't take to shop. Replace them yourself. Will take no more than an hour with an unexperienced mechanic.. The rear are the same, except do not remove the wheel. Easy stuff.
rear front or rear?
It doesn't have struts. It has coil-over shocks.
