No , unless the spring is damaged
You have to replace with springs and shocks
If you replace the manual leveling shocks on the rear with regular shocks you also have to replace the rear coil springs with stiffer ones. Use gm part #15182559 or bilstein part #199021 to replace the coil springs. The coil springs that come with the manual leveling shocks are not stiff enough to use with regular shocks, causing the rear end to droop.
if you go with original equipment you need to replace either shocks or springs or both with factory specifications. shocks are matched to springs by load capacity and rebound force, you see, if you swap out shocks for race shocks they will be a lot more stiff, you can play with shocks a little but the springs must match the shock specs. an example would be say,you replace your factory springs with racing-lowering springs, but stuck with factory shocks, the car would bounce all over the road cause the springs are much stronger than the damping load the shocks are designed to handle
simply just replace rear shocks with air shocks or put spring lifters on the springs
S10 dont have struts the have coil springs and shocks
Yes you can, i currently have longer springs and shocks that make up the 2in lift, no need for a transfercase drop too, i got it off of rustys offroad.
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.
The Dodge Intrepid does not have rear struts. This automobile has rear shocks and springs. The shocks can be removed by removing the retaining bolts on the top and bottom of the shock. Reverse the process to install the new shocks.
You have coil springs front and rear as well as shocks.
Your shocks are going out. You may also want to replace the springs as well.
Jack up the rear end and support it. With the weight on the axle you take the nuts loose on each and and replace the shocks. The shocks keep the rear axle from dropping down and letting the springs come out. As long as the axle is off the ground and supported you shouldn't have any problem.
KYB shocks for shure and OEM springs....Rick D
