Just installed my new front struts and rear shock absorbers that i ordered from 1A Auto. Installation was pretty easy and now it rides like a Volvo should ride ! :) Thanks 1A Auto !
+Mark Ottoson Thank you for your order and your feedback! If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY
Final lower shock bolt torque should be done with the wheels on the ground. The bushing will be twisted slightly if torqued in the air as the arm is at a vastly different angle in that position.
Is it usually that the shocks will wear out before the springs? I'm curious if it's possible I could get away with just replacing the shocks on my 2001
+gvcolor Thanks for checking us out. You should be able to complete this process with hack stands. A lift is not required. Please let us know if you have any further questions, thank you.
It would be nice to add more detail or a comment regarding the use of jack stands. Like...removing the rear wheels makes the job a lot easier. I don't have access to a lift like most DIYers.
Lol depends what it is. The PCV is the biggest pain job as it’s a few hours to replace it snd very common. It’s probably one of the most important things to check when buying a P2 to make sure the PCV is functioning.
We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com +Christopher Lewis
Also, if the car has a rear facing, 3rd row, flip up seat, you have to remove the whole 3rd row seat which includes seat belt harness attachments, etc. Not as easy as this video shows.

Thanks Sue!

Thank You for nice explanation! Will do the same job on my volvo v70

is there a video for the rear springs?
Any issues with ground clearance on pulling the shock out if I have the car up on jack stands in the garage and not on a pro's lift?

I can’t believe how easy these cars are to work on.

Mine was a 15mm at the bottom of the shock FYI...
Thanks!
Thank you!
Another great episode of shady tree mechanic. I hope no one expects the shocks come out that easy after seventeen years, other than that decent video.
Doing it now. Easy cheesy on my 03
