Shocks and Struts

c/v axle is bad if its front wheel drive

Please ask this question again in spanish.

i paid about 280 dollars just for both sides of struts and shocks. struts alone were about 160.

You need a lighting coil (not happening on the stock motor), or a generator (like bicycles have), or you can put a battery from a motor cycle on it and run it like that, and just charge it each time.

not hard for the rears you will need to block the front wheels and jack up the rear end support it with jack stands cause ther will be a lot of shaking and yanking should be two bolts holding each shock in i would spary them with PB blaster or wd40 and let them soak for a minute then unbolt and remove the fronts are a little more difficult there is 3 bolts 2 on the bottom and a nut on top u may need a pair of vise grips for the front on the top of the shock there is a part of the shaft that is rectangular put the vise grips there so when you turn the nut on the top side of the shock you can keep the shaft from turning too jack each side of the front end up on the lower controll arm then remove old shocks and replace with new ones make sure you put on all the bushing and washers that come with the shocks or the shocks could fall off while on the road

youre automatic air ride suspension went out it happens to alot of navigators/expeditions that came from the factory with rear air ride shocks

The last set of these that I fitted,were vauxhall supplied,and required just fitting.They were oil filled and ready to go. Don't think I remember any that could be filled with oil,just regard them like a big shock absorber.

On the Roadmaster Estate Wagon 94-96 it is located in the driver's side front fender beneath the air cleaner and the PCM competer. It is most easily accessed from uderneath by removing the front air deflector and plastic inner fender-well cover. The cover is held on by several small screws and one push clip. Once the covers are removed the pump will be visible. It is attached by a mounting bracket to the car's frame and has two wiring harnesses and a small air line running from it.

As of 2014, there are a few places where one can get rear shocks for a 1994 Chrysler New Yorker with air ride. This can be purchased at Auto Zone and O'Reilly's.

I, too, am trying to change the struts on my 1993 Lasaber. So far I have removed the backseats to get to the top of the strut, but the access hole on top of the strut is too small...it needs to accommodate a 1" socket. Anyone who can take this to the next level would be greatly appreciated.

Was just quoted about $1700 by the dealer.

How about trying to put a sway bar or stabilizer bar. This part of the suspension usually aids in increasing the suspension's roll stiffness and the resistance of the car to roll in turns.

Remove the caliper, 2 bolts, then the bracket bolts, 2 bolts. Thread an 8.8M screw into the rotor and keep screwing it in until the rotor pops off. If you don't have such a screw handy, you can bang on the rotor with a hammer (although this process is much more aggressive in nature and it is possible to damage a wheel bearing while banging away at the rotor).

I've posted some videos to help illustrate the process:

you can but it will ride a little bit more rough

yes

Because you pee on an electric fence.

ummmm od question but i know the answer lol....you rub your feet against the bottom of the trampoline < with socks on> and maybe jump around a little then put your fingure close enough to someone< like a 1/2 inch> and that should do the trick.... doesnt work every time tho FBALL50 thanks for answering this question i have been looking for this quiet a long time now commander2000

There are several types of front suspensions that allow your vehicle to both steer and go over bumps in the road. One such suspension type is called the MAC-PHERSON STRUT. The intent of the Mac-Pherson Strut was to reduce the " unsprung weight" of the wheel and suspension components. Doing that can significantly improve handling and provide better contact between tires and the road.

Strut components can wear out, and when they do they need to be replaced so that the vehicle will operate safely. Commonly, strut inserts (similar to a shock absorber), springs and bushings may wear or otherwise fail, seriously degrading the performance of your vehicle.

ES 1000's are not adjustable .

I converted my 1990 LSC with a kit from strutmasters and notice very little diffference overall, and have noticed bodyroll is less in the slalom with the springs.

The short answer is YOU don't. The smartest thing to do is get the shop manual, read that section, talk yourself out of it, then drop the car off at your local garage and pay a professional. If you're still in a do-it-yourself mood, read on. Jack the car up and support the front end with jackstands. Remove the wheel. Unbolt the brake line bracket from the strut. Remove both of the big nuts/bolts holding the strut to the spindle. Open the hood and remove the 3 bolts from the strut tower. The strut assembly should have fallen out onto the ground. Here's where the fun begins. Use your strut compressor to unload the spring. Remove the big nut on the top and pull off the upper bearing and spring seats. Remove the spring and carefully (carefully! it CAN kill you) set it aside. Reassemble everything in order and reinstall your spring. Use the air ratchet to preload the top nut. Tighten to spec. Release the spring compressor. Put the strut assembly back up the the tower, lining up the 3 boltholes up top. Replace the 3 nuts, tighten to spec. Pull your spindle back up with a c-clamp and install the 2 large nuts/bolts. Tighten to spec. Replace the brake line bracket bolt. Tighten to spec. Carefully drive to the nearest alignment shop because your alignment will be way off. you can take srut assembly out as mentioned above then have auto parts store change struts for you and put back whole strut assembly back in.they charge about$20 for changing each strut and is well worth the job .

form_title=Shocks and Struts Replacement form_header=Getting your shocks and struts replaced will restore vehicle handling and control while greatly improving ride comfort. What is the year, make and model of your vehicle?=_ How many miles do you have on your car?=_ When was the last time your shocks and struts were replaced?=_

if doing yourself just buy quick struts for the car if they make them for that model they cost more but they save a lot of time gas charged struts are junk
