I'm a female attempting to do my own and your video is very helpful simple and straight to the point.
The shock you took out was a Monroe replacement for the original air shocks. When tighting the top bushing you're not supposed to let the shaft spin, that's why it is flat to hold it why tightening the nut.
This video was perfect! My dad and I got my new shocks put on my 05 LeSabre! CHARLIE (my car) is road ready once more!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Apparently not the air ride shocks that came standard on the 2000-2005 Lesabres.
check which brand of shock you are getting and the install of the washers and bolts. i have Gabriel shocks and the center tower mount washers are not installed the same way in this video he reversed them leaving little thread left for the center nut.
On the top washer, my original install had the washer turned up like a cup.
I liked the old way he pronounced Vehicle 😢
Bring it back please.
Thank you, Sir. Super freakin insightful!!
Thanks for posting.
Hey, can I still use the kit on the description? My 2005 Lesabre has its stock Air shocks. And idk if it’ll just switch to standards easily. Any input helps, thanks!
Yes, it's a straight conversion.
All the rear shocks I find on Napa and Oreily's doesn't come with the outer spring coil, so can you use the old one or whats up? Find a kit with coil?
Thanks My Guy
Did you not have to shut off tge compressor before removing the shock?
Where do you buy those clips for the bottom bolts? Mine broke and I can't find them anywhere.... Do you know the part number or keywords to use when searching?
If you can't find them just use a nut, a top luck or a nylock would be just fine. If you are still looking, a spring nut (u) would be the word to search for, you will be able to track them down.
Oriellys has them in
Where can I get the mounting clips ?
is there a way to test my shocks to see if they are actually bad to know if it is the shocks or bad air lines?
Go too the back, push down a few times and if she jumps, you need new
How do you know it’s 15 pounds of pressure
Where do you get your replacement mounting clips?
+Jennifer C If you are unable to reuse the originals, we suggest purchasing the hardware locally as most local stores will carry the clips.
Isn’t this the same A1 Auto guy?
What tools did u use for this job all tools please I’m learning
Click on the description and transcript tells you tools 🔧 which you will need
@@elliottvaughn those aren’t correct I used a 15 and that’s all
Where can I get a set of these mounting clips? 5:07
Any fastener store, it is a spring clip, or a U spring clip.
Ur the vanna white of shocks
Where can I get these parts from
