How to Replace Shock Absorbers on your car FAST and Easy

1. No religion is accepted in front of Allah except Islam,PROPHET(PBUH)

2. Could you tell me where the jack should be?

3. You didn’t mention how many pound is the tight ?

4. How do you figure out the torque for the bolts?🤔

5. When should you replace the rear springs?

6. Hi Chris, and other viewers. I have a dilemma; after watching your video, I attempted to replace my rear shocks. The rear left side (near side as I am in the UK), went on fine. On the other side (Driver side), the bolt has snapped at the bottom. Can anyone recommend anything?

7. I tell people how much they could save to do this shit on there own. If I leave it to someone else. I'm looking at a bare minimum of roughly $1,600/$2,300 for parts and labor. On my own all I need are the parts. And I even went a little further. I added all new shocks and struts with lowering springs and bushing. That cost me over all $500.

8. "Just need a little locktite" squeezes out enough to brush your teeth with

9. Hey, Chris. I wanted to ask you something pertaining to this video. After you break the bolts/nuts loose initially, is it good practice to soak them with pb blaster? I had a water pump bolt break on me one time, so I hammered a socket on the exposed remainder of the bolt, and once I finally got it to break loose, I soaked it with pb blaster, so as to lubricate the housing as the bolt was being extracted. Saved the threads, and new pump bolted up like a charm. Just something to think about

10. Where is the jack and stand locations?

11. ah,its good to rewatch old videos

12. Chris is basically getting the car workshop places to stop ripping us off

13. Hey Chris I’m looking at a 1997 Chevy lumina for 310 says needs fuel pump and rear shocks haven’t gone and looked at it yet do you think I should or no

14. 3:00 men’s worst fear 😳

15. my car front shock on left not working properly…
    So when I will change is need to change the both shock absorber from front..
    Or if I change only that one is not working is it fine..
    Some people say it's better to change both one

16. its a tight squeeze, almost there, the nut is in…… sounds like a discussion with my wife

17. Nice video,
    Oh my question is when shall I replace a shock absorber?

18. I learned how to change my rotors and brake pads from Cris Fix, and so far it's been great.
    I was shopping around to get a better price on my rear shocks on my Toyota minivan.
    I am gonna do it myself.
    Thanks so much for the great videos, may God bless you man.

19. Thanks for showing how easy this really is! Much appreciated.

20. What's the loctite supposed to do?

21. Wow

22. Thanks for ur video Chris, what is torque measure for bottom nut?

23. so the leaf sprint can hold up the vehicle by themselves just fine!

    i thought i would need two jacks

24. I have an 89 Pontiac Grand Am. I put the new shocks on the back (they have one bolt inside the trunk that screws straight down) one of these unscrewed at the top and every time I hit a bump jumps to the height of the clearance that is loose. Makes a racket. Okay, so I tried to tighten it down inside the trunk with the top bolt and the whole damn shock housing turns. What on Earth.

25. You can torque these without full weight of car?

26. Good work. I’m doing my own tomorrow

27. Nice video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about – Patlarny Vehicle History Principle (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to repair your car the simple way minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my good mate called Gray at very last got amazing success with it.

28. LOL look how easy those are to get at. ANYONE WHO HAS A 73-77 A BODY GM CAR message me for advice on how to get your inaccessible-rusted-shut, impossible shocks out 🙂

29. What an Absolute Legend well done Chris! 😎👏👏

30. You did this in less than 10 minutes so why tf am I still waiting for my mechanic to finish this bs it’s been weeks

31. Real time is always cool. Thanks Chris.

32. Hey ChrisFix!! I have changed my 2012 Lexus IS250 brakes + Rotors, Front Struts by watching your videos. Thank you so much…..
    My question is: My Torque wrench is messed up. Is there a way it can be fixed ? Or I have to buy a new wrench ?
    Thank you for your response.

33. The real time videos are great, consider doing this again, thank you

34. Your videos made me get better at LEGO technic suspension. Builds 👍

35. Thanks for the video. About to replace front and rear shocks on my 1988 Mazda B2200.

36. ChrisFix Mouth reveal

37. I really miss Chris fix in 2020… please come back to us

38. So in order to install new shocks on my car, I need to install shocks on a Mazda B3000? Sounds sketchy.

39. Any silicone grease suggested for bushings to prevent squeaking or binding of rubber bushings? Or is there always plenty of clearance?

40. Mic quality is amazing! This is like watching a livestream

41. I’m stuck! I have a 06 Nissan Sentra and my 17mm bolt continually spins as the nut spins with it, and with the nut being covered at all angles but 2, it’s very hard to keep it held in place to loosen the bolt. Any suggestions or tips?

42. Did the exact same job on our 04 Mazda MPV. Yes, it was very easy. Now f,or the brake rotors and front shocks.

43. What theeeee….. I recently got quoted 1,600 bucks to replace shocks + struts on my $3,000 Civic that’s older than me… (20 year old) lol.

44. Nice

45. I been working on cars for seven years and I always like to come back and rewatch these videos make sure I do things right.

46. Do you have to remove wheel?

47. Will it be beneficial if I coat the smooth part of the carriage boat with grease before installing it back?

48. Can I do this without the torque wrench?

49. Your hands are faster than air tools. 🙂

50. I see you don't use many impact guns, I appreciate that sometimes they do more damage than good, I enjoy your videos. Lots of good information.
