    @LeaninLeon I would check the u joints in the drive shaft. If they're worn out, they would make the truck shake. You may also want to look at the steering pieces in the front of the truck to see if the bushings are worn. If you have a shake in the steering wheel about 30-40 MPH worn steering components such as your, sway bar end links, inner and outer tie rod ends, could also cause these issues. Hope this helps.

    Very nice. I replaced the fronts last weekend after watching your video on the fronts. Now I'll do the rear. Good tips.

    thanks for the video. just installed front and rear monroe shocks on my 98 s10. video was a big help. having the list of tools you have on the video helps so you dont have to go back and forth finding the right tool. FOR PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS AND USING JACK AND JACK STANDS ITS EASY. for the rear, use jack stands instead of screw jacks that he uses in the video to place under the leaf springs. jack the car up, place 2 jack stands under the leaf springs and VERY SLOWLY let down. NOTE; DONT LET OFF COMPLETELY! THE JACK WILL BE HOLDING 97% OF THE WEIGHT. the jack stands are just to keep the leaf springs from dropping any. ANYBODY CAN DO THIS. IT TOOK ME 1 and 1/2 HOURS. im 25 years old

    This video is great much like there other s10 videos but i wanted to add my problems that i experienced. If you live in the rust belt it's next to impossible to remove the bolts with U nuts or speed nuts whatever they're called. I had to drill out the bolts in the hard to reach areas and grind away the other ones. Front was the same story. I had no shaft to clamp to in order to remove the nut on top. Also the lower stud where the rear shocks are secured with one nut is different on some models. The original shocks had bushings and was wrapped around that so when i went to put new ones on there's a metal sleeve that you have to grind off. Hope this helps.

    Great video, very helpful. I had already loaned a spring compressor to do the job. When took the front tire off, I already knew this was different than my Volvo I used to work on. It was the time to head to you-tube. Thank you very much, this made the job very easy. I could not believe that 2001 GMC Sonoma shocks/struts were so easy to replace, right on my driveway.

  • @1AAuto
    @1AAuto  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @MustangGTR2 You may want to look under the car and check the bottom of the doors to make sure that it's not starting to rust. Open the hood and inspect for any obvious damage along the frame. Pull the dipstick to check the condition of the oil and that It's up to level.Take the car for a ride to check for any squeaks or vibrations in the steering or brake peddle, that may indicate the vehicle needs some suspension repairs. You could always check CarFax too, to find the history.

  • @1AAuto
    @1AAuto  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @LeaninLeon I would recommend starting with repairing that part since it sounds like it's pretty far gone. This may resolve some of the issues, if it does not, it should be repaired anyway.

  • @1BrownElCamino
    @1BrownElCamino 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    You helped me with my fronts, and now the rears! By the way, the front shock and rear shock instructions for the S10 are identical to my '84 El Camino, except I had to remove the back tires in order to get the jack close enough to lift up on the shock, for removal. Thanks again 1A Auto! :)

  • @carlobasta3587
    @carlobasta3587 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just replaced the rear shocks on my 96 S10 2WD and found an easier way: If you remove the spare tire, there's no need to jack up the vehicle. You will fit underneath. As I recall the bolts and nuts are 21mm tightened to 62 foot pounds and 13mm @ 22 foot pounds, as per the service manual. This was an easy job. I used Monroe OE Spectrum shocks.

  • @1AAuto
    @1AAuto  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Vacmasterthegreat Not sure of the mileage or the year of the truck, but if the vehicle has a lot of bounciness to it, it could be time to replace them. You may also want to look to see if the shocks are damp at all or show signs of leaking.

    Living where they put salt on the roads in winter makes simple jobs like this, not so simple. I am changing the shocks on my 94 GMC sierra right now and for the rear shocks and all the top bolts snapped in half when trying to take them off. The bottom ones I had to grind off. All the nuts were rusted/siezed to the bolts.

  • @1AAuto
    @1AAuto  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your best bet is to soak it in penetrating fluid and see if it comes free. if it does not, you may have to attempt to heat up the bold but this is dangerous since the fluid in the shock could boil over and explode if the shock hasn't already leaked out all of the fluid.

  • @jmjaxson
    @jmjaxson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Would like to point if someone runs across this is that the inner sleeve on my old truck shock fused to the chassis spindle....the rubber grommet came away from the steel inner sleeve on the old shock. I though I was getting the wrong shock but that inner sleeve fused to the original spindle so that it looked and measured a .750 spindle when it actually is a .500 spindle. Unfortunately I couldn't see the seam or a gap of the inner sleeve do to out of sight and rust. Obviously I never changed them on this vehicle and fortunately I called a friend who was aware of the sleeve remaining on the chassis spindle. I thought I was going to have to punch out the inner sleeve to make it fit. Somewhat lame-brain on my part but the spindle looked as one solid piece and neither auto parts store had a clue either.

  • @TheLuckeydc7
    @TheLuckeydc7 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    CONTINUED: Drive smooth til i would hit a big bump then it felt like i would bottom out. I know lowering it put stress on the stock shocks because they were being pushed on constantly. Do you suggest getting struts 2 inches shorted for the front and 3 inches shorter for the rear for it to ride smoothly over those big bumps? Or was putting it on blocks not a good idea?
    Thanks!

  • @TheLuckeydc7

    Hey great videos! I have a question too, I have a 93' S10 with 169,000 miles on it. This truck was my grandfathers, my brothers, now it's mine and well taken care of. One thing is the struts and the springs have never been changed and it's been past it's time to do so but I have noticed that it's getting a lot more rough of a ride. I lowered it a couple years ago 2 inches in the front with spindles, and 3 inches in the back with blocks. That caused it to ride very smooth until i would hit a big

  • @Vacmasterthegreat
    @Vacmasterthegreat 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    if I push on either end of my truck(L or R, F or B), it has a lot of springiness to it, but always returns back to its proper height, does that necessarily mean I need both front and rear shocks? when I am carrying heavy stuff, the truck doesn't sag at all, so does that indicate my rear shocks are good or is that maintenance of height the job of the leaf springs, and i could have bad rear shocks?

  • @Vacmasterthegreat
    @Vacmasterthegreat 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @1aauto I checked more closely, none of the shocks leak, and it seems the only real bounciness is in the front left shock. I guess I didn't think that there'd be some bounce to the car when I pushed on the other 3 corners. So for $30 I'm going to replace the definitely bad one. do you have any vids on how to do front end alignments?

    A lot simpler than working on my very rusted 2000 Envoy. One of the upper bolts is stripped. My old shocks don't have ears, they have a hole through the tab. Very little space to work on it. Any suggestions on how to get the stripped bolt out of the very narrow space?

    • @throwedtoad
      @throwedtoad 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just had a stuck front lower shock bolt. It was stuck to the metal in the shock itself. I got the nut off just fine but the bolt was literally rusted to the shock. After half a can of pb penetrating oil and 37 hammer whacks I had nothing. I had to hammer the left side while impact driving the right side for about 20 minutes while spraying penetrating oil the whole time. I broke the washer in process but ended up getting the bolt out unscathed. NEVER GIVE UP! it can all be replaced.

    Lol this made it look too easy. Bottom of the rear shock was practically welded on there. Had to cut the bolt off the bracket, drill out a 9/16 hole and put grade 8 bolts through it. That was the passenger side I have no desire the do the driver side right now lol. I’ve never seen shocks so shot though for 160,000 miles on my truck. Every one was blown completely

    Seems silly to have to say this, but: if you take bolts off, and you are going to re use them when they are rusty: use a wire brush of some sort to clean the rust off before you try to put them back in. If you can also get into the holes, clean those too.

    • @1AAuto
      @1AAuto  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Khay Honestly, there are two reasons we use the lift: 1) It improves the ability of the camera being able to capture what's going on due to increased light and clearance, and 2) Lifts are awesome tools. In the absence of having a lift, make sure you are jacking your vehicle up on a stable surface and that the jack is secured and in good working order. Safety...always!

    Ok so I took my chevy s10 extreme in today for an oil change and an alignment. The guy calls me back and says I need front and rear shocks, an idler arm (which I knew I needed). He wanted to charg me 953.28 for the parts and labor. Can someone please reasure me that he was trying to fuck me and that I am not going crazy?
