To replace the rear shock absorbers on a vehicle, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jack stands placed under the frame rails. Remove the nut and bolt that attaches the upper end of the shock absorber to the frame, and if necessary, apply penetrating oil to loosen any rust.

If leakage is noted in the shock absorbers, replace them as a set. A light film of fluid is no cause for concern, but significant leakage should be addressed.

Certainly. For 4WD models with a solid front axle, start by loosening the driveaxle/hub nut and wheel lug nuts on 1500 4WD models. Then, raise the front of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands.

Additionally, detach the wheel speed sensor from the steering knuckle and upper control arm, detach the upper balljoint from the steering knuckle, and detach the stabilizer link from the lower control arm. Finally, remove the driveaxle/hub nut and pull the top of the knuckle out to remove the shock absorber/coil spring assembly.

Remove the nut and bolt that attach the upper end of the shock absorber to the frame, and if necessary, apply penetrating oil to loosen any rust. Then, remove the nut and bolt that attach the lower end of the shock to the axle bracket, again using penetrating oil if needed.
