KKtrips Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 New shock required - always replace them in pairs for safety sake. (by pair I mean the pair on the same axle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandangles Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 the standard toyota shocks are filled with oil and magic stuff, to replace you have to remove the whole strut, take the spring, undo the the bit nut ontop of thestrut tube, and remove the magic bits. go to repco, bnt, autoligh etc and get a pair of replacement shocks as k-trips said. the replacement shocks are a sealed unit and slip inside the strut tube. do the opposite of the removal and your sorted.

Bling Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 You forgot spring compressors, hopefully they don't have a spring embedded in their face right about now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandangles Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 ^ ah yes i did, i always undo / tighten the center bolt in the strut top while the car is on the ground. its about impossible to take it off out of the car without a rattle gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
