replace rear door shocks. the two rods along the sides.
shocks are usually pretty inexpensive. Just purchased two rear shocks for a 1994 S-10, usually they're about $30-35 and were on sale for $17 each.
two catrillion dollars
There are two bolts that hold the shock in.One at the top and one at the bottom.Once those are removed you can replace the old shock with a new one.
An easy way to tell when your shocks are worn out is to push down on the car to make it bounce. It should stop and come to rest after about two motions. If it continues much past that, you likely need new shocks.
If the liftgate will not stay up when you open it, you need to replace the two props ( they look like little shocks ).
Jack it up, Remove Tire, Undo the two bolts on the Shock Absorbers take old one off, reverse to complete
the bottom of the shock should be bolted to the rear axle so you take that off then you go up toward the top of the shock next to the frame and take out the two bolts holding it in place and its out
the 1995 XE has four shocks. Two on the rear axle, and one for each independent in the front.
What type of vehicle? paul 1997 camero rs convertable If you have coil springs in the rear, you need to have two jacks. One will jack up the car up to take the tire off and be able to get to the shocks. The second jack will be used to stabilize the bottom of the coil pan so it doesn't drop down once you remove the shock and it will stay in perfect position to replace the new shock.
Jack up the car. Unscrew two bolts in the rear bearing arms, then unscrew the top bolts. You will need to take out the back of the rear seat in order to get to these. Then the shocks can be taken out and new installed.
Wow Tough job. I replaced all the shocks on my 95 Estate Wagon about 2 years ago. The front shocks were fairly easy. But the rear shocks were very difficult. I had help from a friend who is a professional mechanic, access to his tools and we had the car up on a lift. It took the two of us almost 3 hours to change the shocks. With four hands squeeezed in around the exhaust pipes and wrenches with flexible heads, we finally got the top shock mounts installed and tightened. I was never able to find out if there was a hatch under the back seat to get to those upper shock nounts. It would sure help. I hope to never do the rear shocks again! Good luck
