Why does ever video of a 99 chevy silverado have front spring with shocks but my 99 chevy only has shock should I look into springs 1999 chevy silverado 5.3 vortec 4x4 ?
Really? He didn’t show how to remove the shock!!! Unbelievable what a bunch of trolls wasting peoples time! First timers wanna are the process sorry for freaking out...🖖
You should have showed you removing those fronts. They need to line up perfectly and the right angle or they will not juts slide right out. Took me a bit to figure it out. Words of advice... I sprayed all bolts and nuts front and rear the day before I did this job, and it was a piece of cake removing all bolts and nuts. Tops were cake. I used an impact on the top 2nd nut and didnt even need to hold the shock from below. Came off like a hot knife through butter.
Thanks A Lot! Got me wanting to keep all this dough the shop trying to charge me and DIY it! What you say are the best shocks & struts to get for my '07 Silverado 1500? Then what site would you recommend to get them from? Please provide links, if possible. Thanks much!
I would have liked to see how you got the top nut loose. That one nut seems to be the hardest part. I have seen people cut them off due to being seized. Other than that thanks.
Which way do the front shocks face when reinstalling?? The bolt mounting plate on the bottom is angled & I've seen a vid of a guy putting it in against that angle. My bilsteins did not come with that instruction
sometimes when u try to say $$$ u end up paying more $$ i was doing nine & i ended up breaking the 2 bottom bolt. do u know how can i fix it to retread it or at least the size of the bolt.nine is a 95 gmc sierra 2500 it look just like the one in the video. any help i 'll appreciate it thanks
you have two options, get a new lower control arm, OR you could nock off the nuts that are welded to the lower control arm and just put new bolts with nuts, (hope that makes sense)
Same process for 2005 sierra 4x4. Also, I got a 6 inch lift :/ is it still the same? I gotta replace my cv joints, I was told with a lift id have to remove the struts as well. Is this correct?
to be honest, i dont even know what kind it is. i bought it already lifted. So i got no clue. i just know its a 6 inch lift. gonna find out once i go to do it though.
