I hadn't replaced shocks on a vehicle since I was in my 20's!
I used your video as a refresher course on the procedure and it worked to a T.
It took me about 45 minutes to install both shocks on the rear axle of my truck with no lift and without removing the back tires.
Thank you for being willing to show this to the general public. I was able to save over $300 by doing it myself!
VERY helpful video!! I'm a weekend DIY'r and have never changed shocks. This made the "unknowns" so much less intimidating! Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. God Bless!
Thanks! 21 MM nut helps select the wrench and tool for the job.
Good video im 17 and dont know too much about mechanics and i did the front and rear shocks myself on my 01 silverado w 173xxx. Night and day diff thanks

If you are doing this on the ground, it makes it a lot easier if you remove the spare tire.

Going to do my shocks tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on the spare tire.
Thanks you. This helped me replace the shocks on my 2004 Silverado. I did not buy them from you, but am buying the fronts from you. Yes a few more dollars the amazon, but worth the extra info.
Thanks for watching. Have a great day! 1aauto.com
Huh seems easier than I thought
guitarguy42 Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Best how-to videos ever!
We currently do not have not auto repair video that shows that particular repair.
Great videos man, I'll be changing mine as soon as I get back home 👍👍
+Tommy Hardin Thanks for watching. Good luck with the install! 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Excellent video and instructions. You will cave me a ton of money on installation.
Great info! Thanks for details like 21mm socket size needed.
ref: chevy silverado 1999
Thanks for the video Mike, and letting me know that I don't have to lift the vehicle to do this job. If I can get underneath it, and it's secure, lifting, chocking, and supporting the axle with jack stands, just seems to be a mute point. :)
You are the man!!! So I can change shocks while truck is on the ground?
You have jack stand on rear end is this becuse you have truck in the air?
Your videos are great , I replaced my rear door handles with no problems because your step by step process is 2nd to none.
Thanx buddie
Thanks great video
Profesional people thank you for the video
2:49 I'm thinking dear God!!!! Please don't let him stand up and smash his head into something!! great video, simple and to the point, thanks!

Thank you so much guys ...your video is the best,very informative! Greetings from Canada
Thanks for your clear instructions!
Thanks you for you help
Thanks for the vid. Looks simple but I'll still be careful.
It may be a similar process.
Great video.... needed refresher. Thank u!
Thanks for the video, but it doesn't look so easy without a lift for those top nuts. I hope I'll be able to reach them while lying on the ground.
thank you for your help
Any reason for the breaker bar and not an impact gun?
I got an older truck that is in good condition and low mileage for age, while I may not need to I have thought about replacing the old ones in the spring. they are nearly 25 years old. mine is a 1989.
They don’t seem to make the upper rear shock mounts for the 08 GMC Sierra that weld to the cross member lol I called everywhere’s, does anyone know of a place to get 08 GMC Sierra shock mounts?
Helpful & appreciated.
+Mitch Murphy Thanks for watching. We're glad you liked it. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Great details. Thanks.
How do you know if rear shocks need replacing? The front is easy enough to tell as it bounces around more than the back with the leaf springs. The back seems trickier to tell.
+MrSnowrocks You will generally be looking for the same sort of symptoms, but if they are just as old as the fronts then it is a good idea to just do them. Any other viewers looking for the same parts please visit the link here. www.1aauto.com/1A/shocks_struts/GMC/Sierra2500?CZcams&CTA+Comment&R1WO2p5FkwM
Could having a bad rear shock on 1 side cause the rear end on that side to sag significantly? And could that also cause that same sides front to sag but only slightly?
Andy Masters Yes
Shocks do not affect ride height
Might
@@lancepagel air shocks do 😉
Broken spring too
Arnt u suppose to put grease in between the shock and metal plate
Always great video's!
Is the same for tahoe
wat yall tink on the monomax kyb for a 99/00 escalade ? or just get some from 1a auto?
Thanks again.
+mic88ed No problem. Thank you for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
i hope it's as easy for my 99. but i don't have access to any lift i'll be in the dirt
Would replacing the shocks front & rear on my '01 improve the overall ride quality of the truck?
My back left shock and the bracket ripped off when I was wheeling. How much will this cost to replace it and is it bad to drive in this condition
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately i do not know what the cost will be. However i would not drive like that. We do sell the shocks on our website here is a link.

One of my top shock mounts rusted off.
I want that pontiac service sign at 0:05
Of course the new shock slides right into your mount. I can’t get mine in there. Even with tapping it
Wouldn't this apply to the 99 also?

Do i need to replace the bolts and nuts my truck is 05 sierra 1500 with 46K miles?
+Omar Dawood If they are in good shape you should be able to reuse them. Hope this helps you out.
Do I need to apply anything to the threads of the bolts?
You can put a little bit on anti-seize on the threads if you would like to. It's not necessary though. Thanks for watching. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
1A Auto Parts is it the same on a 1993 1500 thank you for being here
I replaced my rear shocks with Gabriel ultra on my 02 tahoe but I can still bounce the back when I rest my hand there, any ideas??
+Simon Arroyo You may want to check the springs and any suspension pieces to see if anything is worn or broken which might be causing this to happen. Hope this helps you out
+Simon Arroyo Did you just replace the shocks, or the springs too? Could be shot springs. 1aauto.com?CZcams&CTA%20Comment&ATony 866-403-3393
If you don't have a 21mm like i didn't, a 13/16 goes on
PB Blaster is much better than WD-40
damn that's easy. I can afford better shocks now that I can DIY
+Russell Vaughan Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
This truck generation starts in 1999 so maybe the title should say 99-06? Unless '99 suspensions are different.
So you have the jack under the Pumpkin for SAFETY. So then where are your safety glasses??🤔
+Josh Davis He didn't feel the need for them especially since he wasn't dealing with fluids that could get in his eyes.
Is there no video on an easy way to do the fuc*ING driver side
This video covers the 00-06 model years, your 99 Chevy may be a similar process. Thanks for watching, have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
