To replace the rear shock absorber on a Jaguar XJ8, first ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secured on jack stands. Remove the rear wheel to access the shock absorber; then, unbolt the top and bottom mounting points of the shock. Replace the old shock with the new one, tightening the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications, and reattach the wheel. Finally, lower the vehicle and perform a test drive to ensure proper installation.

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.
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.
Yeah, sure.
Could be a bad shock absorber or shock absorber bushing. Could be bad bushings on the rear sway bar (if equipped).

To install a shock absorber for a Whirlpool Duet washer, start by unplugging the washer and locating the shocks at the front and rear of the washer. Remove the screws securing the shock absorber in place, then swap out the old shock absorber with the new one. Secure the new shock absorber with the screws and plug the washer back in. Run a test cycle to ensure proper installation.
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?
