How to change front shocks on a Jeep Wrangler YJ

2012-09-03
perhaps today we're going to put shocks on a 91 Jeep Wrangler this will work for any of the Y J's so we have the wheel already taken off the car jacked up you can see the shocks are right there you got the bolts on the top bolts on the bottom these ones are just rusted out so we're going to we're going to switch them so as I'm trying to take off the top told it's a 14 millimeter and as I spin it and see at the top butter shock is spinning as well so what I do is I just grab Berenices alright so we're just going to throw away the shocks anyway I'm just going to grab on to the bar like that with a pair of channel locks and then keep on twisting that wrench I'm cool thing I like about this wrench is one of my favorite tools is that it's got a little ratchet head in there so I get out to keep on adjusting it just always spins on its own I'll put a link down the bottom of the video so you guys can see a how much they cost that's I got them off Amazon they're pretty solid little tools anyway so I'm just gonna get rid of that bolt okay so when you're installing the new shocks just put the bolt through the bottom there I'm using the shocks compound in some kind of way obviously don't stretch out it's easier your ship and stuff I put the rubber washer in the middle washer on it and I always have to extend it up into the end of the housing there so I'm going to do I'm going to cut that and it will extend on its own I just have to kind of guide it in there a lot easier with two hands I'll tell you that and then by its own means it'll go right up into the top there then I'll put the other little washer on top with little groove there so we'll go down inside the middle housing and then then that goes on top of that just once I tighten it all down that's how you install the shops all right so in shocks come with a kind of metal sleeve that goes over the metal part of it so dust and water and stuff doesn't go down inside of that it is kind of a good idea to have them they're not super super important but you know it's worth that you can get in for disco bucks on Amazon I'll put a link in the description so you can get some of those if that's what you want um I think it's it the bottom nut on that shop was a nineteen millimeter by the way and you have any questions even in the comments if you like what you see make sure to give it a like and don't forget to subscribe thanks for watching
