To replace the rear shocks on a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, start by securely lifting the rear of the vehicle and supporting it with jack stands. Remove the rear wheels for better access, then locate the shock absorber, which is typically mounted at the top and bottom with bolts. Remove the lower bolt first, followed by the upper bolt, then take out the old shock. Install the new shock by reversing the process, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications before reattaching the wheels and lowering the vehicle.
