Re: Replacing my rear shocks
Thanks VetteMed for the help, tonight I removed the rear shocks. I followed
your directions and had no problems. I have a 3 ft high scissor type lift. I put
the car on the lift and let the suspension hang, then I used a floor jack and a
few blocks of wood to reach the control arm and jacked the arm up an inch or
two. then I removed the upper shock bracket bolts. Next I lowered the arm and
shock together slowly until suspension was fully relaxed. Now I removed the
lower shock nut and washer which let me lower the shock enough to remove
the electrical actuator retaining clip and then the actuator itself. And finally the
shock.
I was surprised to see that there was a fair amount of wire harness in the
frame to come out with the shock. I have to work tomorrow so after work
I will install one shock then Sunday install the other one. I'll let ya's know
how it works out, thanks again...jimmy
