How To Replace Rear Shocks- AutoZone Car Care 

Im gonna change my shocks and struts this weekend. A mechanic said he would charge 209.00 for front and back including alignment so ill change the struts and shocks and just pay for the alignment

Auto zone makes it easy and convenient for D-I-Y work on your vehicle.They have saved me lots of money and as well as helped me learn a whole deal of repairs and maintenance for my vehicles.And to see they also have videos to help get a bit of a understanding of how some tasks are performed its a total plus to their services.Auto zone doesnt seem to get alot of the recognition it deserves for what it is.Thanks Auto zone!

Thanks for the demo, I managed to snap both my rears, this was easily understandable considering I dont know much about cars.

Wouldn't you just be making it harder on yourself by compressing the shock by putting the jack on the axle for leaf spring suspensions?

i love how they always work on cars without rust

Nice. Doing this one myself. Some tire shop wants like $250 for the job. I think I'll buy some tools instead.

So what? Don't need a torque wrench, just hack at it with all you got? Dang I thought it would at least be a little more delicate than that.

that's about as easy as it gets...they shouldn't even charge labor for that

Dude if you used an electric impact you could get done 3 times as fast!!

auto zone sucks,i bought from you for years only to find your parts need to be replaced sooner than oem parts,never again,it proves itself time after time,you end up costing me a lot more in the end,compromising on parts is more costly than getting the decent brands to begin with,duralast is the wrong name for screwing people and selling junk electric parts and other no name brands,duralast is not a name brand,they should be banned,real machanics are not found at auto zone,only border jumpers!

@teg408 yes... its will make the ride alot better and its like replacing a head light.. you dont only want to do 1 then a few weeks later the other one goes out

Autozone should be called AutoJunk.Sell the cheapest shit out there

WD-40 sucks! use LPS 1 or 2 its much better and penetrates better

Thanks AutoZone ! I'm headed to your store to buy the shocks.

Why does the rear axle have to be at normal ride height while torqueing the bolts?

I got cheaper parts at affordable parts

I love autozone!!!

Thanks for the environmental safety disposal reminders at the end. All too often the potential frustration of a DIY job causes people to disregard concerns for proper disposal.

WHY DO THEY ALL USE A MINI VAN???
