1A Auto shows you how to repair, install , fix, change or replace your front shocks with their loaded struts on your S Series pickup truck. This video also shows you how to use a Sawzall when things get a little rusty.
@perezeddie77 The … @perezeddie77 The basics should be similar. Usually there are 1 or 2 bolts at the top and 1 bolt at the bottom that hold them in place. hope this helps you out.
@Guerreroville We … @Guerreroville We currently do not have a shock replacement video on a 1977 Monte Carlo. However the basics may be similar on that vehicle.

@spelunkerd If you … @spelunkerd If you have a strut the shock and the coil spring will be set up as one assembly, and if it’s not a strut the shock and coil spring will be separate from each other on the vehicle.
I guess I’m a … I guess I’m a little confused by the description of shocks inside loaded struts for this vehicle. How do you tell on inspection if your vehicle has shocks or struts? Shock replacement seems easy, but I wouldn’t want to loosen the wrong nut under tension.
is this the same … is this the same for a 91 s10? I think(but I’m can’t remember) that the shocks on mine are next to the spring, not in it, but that might be my Nissan I’m thinking of.
also, being on a very tight budget, and seeing my truck is a backup rustbucket, which would be more beneficial to replace for ride comfort, front or back shocks?
@DZEyoyo123 Your … @DZEyoyo123 Your Grand Marquis is a different make and model, so the procedure would be different. At the currrent time we do not have a video of the Grand Marquis shock installation.
What do I do if the … What do I do if the top bolt is so rusted that the vice grips just chew up the top of the shock? That’s what happened to me. I can’t even get it loose.
@macwhite4265 – It … @macwhite4265 – It is very similar on a Tahoe. 2wd vs 4wd will make a slight difference, but it is still fairly easy & straightforward to do.
