The most simple shock absorber design has it sit between the arm that holds the wheel and area under the seat on the frame. As the rear tire hits a bump, the shock absorber is "sandwiched" between the two. The shock absorber itself isn't too different from any other shock absorber.
Yeah, sure.
Could be a bad shock absorber or shock absorber bushing. Could be bad bushings on the rear sway bar (if equipped).
adjust the throttle
Yes
The rear shocks take a 21mm wrench...
The front and rear axle of the vehicle works independently. Unless you have different type of absorber for left and right side, if not, there will not be any harm using either gas or hydraulic on different axle. Tks
Broken exhaust hanger? Loose rear shock absorber? Worn shock mount bearing?
# Raise vehicle. # Support the rear axle of the vehicle using 2 jackstands positioned at the outer ends of the axle. NOTE:If the shock absorber lower mounting bolt deflects upward during removal, raise axle by adjusting the support jack. If the lower shock absorber bolt deflects downward during removal, lower the axle by adjusting the support jack. # Remove the shock absorber lower mounting bolt. # While holding shock absorber, remove the shock absorber upper mounting bolt and shock absorber. # While holding shock absorber in position against the frame rail, install the shock absorber upper mounting bolt. # Install the shock absorber lower mounting bolt securing the lower end of the shock absorber to the axle. # Remove the support jack. # Lower the vehicle to the ground so the full curb weight of the vehicle is supported by the suspension. # Tighten the upper and lower shock absorber mounting bolt to a torque of 88 N·m (65 ft. lbs.).
They are an integral part of the steering and suspension that also performs like a shock absorber. They can be on the front or the rear.
I wish someone answered this, I can't seem to be able to take off the top rear shock absorber bolt without it spinning with the top of the schock.
