- 2015 - 2017 Kia Sedona LX rear shock replacement guide. This is not a model with upgraded dampening shocks.
Shop would charge $750
This maintenance task is surprisingly easy.
The common usage range you'll see quoted is 50k to 100k miles. I did this job on this van at 90k and can tell you I absolutely should have done it sooner. We don't drive in extreme conditions or on particularly rough roads, but it was still at least 20k overdue.
Shocks / struts are often ignored, but make a major difference when updated. They got worn out so gradually over 90k miles I didn't realize how bad they were. Any roughness I did notice I just blamed on the wheels needing rotating / balancing or tires nearing time for replacement. New tires do make a slight improvement, but I was amazed what new shocks can do to smooth out the ride and reduce road noise. And that's only the rear shocks.
I can't wait to do the front struts. I'll be posting that video soon.

Thanks for posting! This was perfect timing for me to do my suspension.
Glad I could help!
Thanks a lot
Great video
Glad you liked it!
Was your van "squating" lower in the rear end? Mine sits lower. Im wondering if this is all I need to do to fix this problem
I haven’t noticed it sitting any lower. I’m usually pretty sensitive to things like that.
Shocks typically do not justify ride height,that would be the spring
@@jeremyrichmond8764 thanks for the clarification. I was thinking of replacing the springs soon. Now I definitely will.
