How to Change Rear Shocks on a Jeep Wrangler YJ

2012-08-28
okay so we're replacing the shocks on a 91 jeep wranglers is working at the Y J's um basically of better shaitana shock mount already so we have the shock right there and we've got the bottom bolt we got the top hold and that's on the passenger side are you good these are nineteen millimeters um I've already taken these ones out that's what that looks like here just can I got the washer and the nut and then a little spacer right there that you can put the shotgun so the shock usually comes pre-built like this with a little rhythm pulling it in place and you're going to want to mount on the bottom into which is this end over here in place before you break that ribbon because it's pretty hard to compress them once they're uncompressed and then when you do it at the top end it will kind of spring out a little bit and you just want to line it up with the the top of the mount and I'll kind of show you how to do that okay I cut that ribbon and expanded up into the Jeep you know these things are pretty strong so I had to kind of manhandle it on that little bolt there anyways once you get most of the way on you can get this knot there you just tighten that snug and then I'll push it as you can kind of see it's a little bit gap right there but as you tighten it it'll pull a whole shock and I'm into the car so and I do it you like to have the letters and stuffs facing outward so that on the next guy when you comes along you can read what part number it is you know not to use e from the bolts or anything like that very straightforward it bolts off sometimes to break or more and then some people like to say that the shocks need like a boot or a sleeve to protect that with my research that I've done online you know yeah it's nice and yet helps but you know you don't need it in every case a lot of shocks are designed to kind of before they're designed to not let dirt and stuff inside of them right there so these ones should be fine without the without the boot but you know some people like them for aesthetic purposes as well anyway that's how you put shocks on a on a YJ Jeep Wrangler
