@Tim H, if you follow the steps in the video you shouldn't have any problem. The one caveat is if you don't have an impact gun then tightening the nut down onto the stud of the shock in the trunk will take considerably longer.

@@needfortruth534, places like Americanmuscle.com and other specialized muscle car companies. But I warn you they aren’t cheap. You’re looking at $1,100 for a set of rear air shocks.

Yo Jeff thanks for making this video I didn’t have to watch the whole thing but you saved my ass !!!! I was almost done installing the new Rear Struts until I couldn’t figure out what to use on it before Jeff told me which one to use the very small 5/16 mini wrench 🔧 coupled with the 15mm wrench to tighten the Rear Struts back up

Never ever place the tire aside, always place the tire under the vehicle to use incase of stand/jack failure

Where did you get a torque spec of 89ft lbs? Even in my Haynes manual, it's calling for 100ft lbs on all lug nuts, v6 or v8

I dont understand how to determine if the shock I removed and the shock I am installing has the same distance during install so it doesnt change my ride performance/settings. I hear people talk about it but I have never seen anyone show it on video.

@DIYJeff

Michael, if the one's you are taking off are original equipment, then you would need to look for a replacement that says it an original equipment replacement. If you're not sure, you would need to take the shock off and measure it in the fully open position and the fully compressed position and then compare it to the replacement. Not sure of any other way to figure it out.

I have a clunk when I let off the gas, and I’m thinking it’s the top bolt being loose of my aftermarket shocks. So the top bolt is in the trunk?!

@DIYJeff

Жыл бұрын

Yes, correct. It’s pretty easy to access. Just have to pull back the carpet. But it’s highly unlikely the bolt is loose unless it’s a freak think. All shocks and struts are designed for the shaft to spin such that the bolt can’t come loose without holding the shaft notch with a wrench.

Awesome video i happen to be installing the exact same shocks as you i was wondering if you could give me a feed back on them how did they feel? Still holding up?

@Norlin E. Casas, I have had zero issues and they've been on the car almost a year and a half. They are a medium-stiff ride but that's what you would expect on a sports car. Stiffer suspension means less power loss. I highly recommend. them.

Jeff my mustang needs new shocks , my car moves left and right when I slow down? Feels like as if I have a flat but I don't ? U think it's my shocks??

@DIYJeff

@Jerry Rivera, shocks wouldn't affect side-to-side, just ride quality up and down. Sounds like possibly uneven tire wear, tire pressure too low, or you have a rear control arm issue. Could be other more major issues, but those are the one's I'd check first.

Just did my 2010 GT. No wheel removal. Keep shock compressed. Do bottom first loosely then release the shock and do top lug. Easy.

can this be done on a ramp without using jack stand?

winkawak , no because you have to take the load off the suspension and if it’s on a ramp you can’t take the tire off and the suspension will be loaded.

Is a 4 wheel alignment necessary after replacing both rear shocks?

@DIYJeff

3 жыл бұрын

@Daniel Bartelson. No, just the rear. If you didn't touch anything at the front an alignment is not needed, unless the front is out of alignment from hitting a pot hole or a curb or something like that.

@davidstegne2044

There's no adjustment with a solid rear axle so alignment would not be necessary.

I watched this thru twice. At 5:18 before you put wheels back on, don't forget to swing the sway bar up and retighten the upper links. Jeff, you skipped this in your video.
