2002 Oldsmobile bravada has a slow leak in the air compressor that causes the back shocks not to rize right. What can i do to fix it?
I have an 02 Olds Bravada and my compressor quit working. I took it to a mechanic and for 150.00 he replaced the air bag system with coil springs. Much better in my opinion.
Can I replace rear air suspension with standard shocks on 2001 aurora?
Yes, and you might want to do that if you air compressor is not working anymore. If the compressor is working, I would suggest continuing to use the air-shocks since you get the benefit of a load adjusted ride. I have used both Monroe and OEM AC Delco shocks, and they both work well. If you go with non-air shocks, make sure you disable the air compressor by pulling the fuse, etc. Otherwise the compressor may just keep running.
How do you replace struts in 1997 Toyota 4Runner?
The 4Runner doesn't have struts; it has coil-over shocks in front. After removing the old shocks a spring compressor is required to remove the springs and install them on the new shocks. Take it to a front end shop that has the proper compressor and tools; it's very dangerous if you don't have good equipment and experience. The rear shocks are easy to replace by yourself.
Can you just replace the shocks?
If you have worn Struts on a vehicle, those can be replaced without replacing your springs. "Struts" and "Shocks" are often used interchangeably in language, however, I believe your vehicle is a front wheel drive with a double wishbone suspension. In this case, they would be more accurately referred to as "Struts". Just for reference. In either case, the answer is still, yes. Shocks/Struts can be replaced without replacing the springs as well.

Can I eliminate rear springs on my PT Cruiser with just shocks?
No, the suspension needs springs, the shocks are there to damp the springs so the car does not bounce up and down after it hits a bump.
What if your rear end is low and you know that you need new shocksbut you also want to replace the coil springs?
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

Can you replace zw7 shocks on a 2003 Tahoe with standard 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.
