it's worth noting that this is useful for the 2001-2005 Sedona... the option that Kia tries to sell you: is to buy and replace the upper mounting bracket and shock as an assembly. At $180 per side... I think not. Following this video and buying the shocks from Rock Auto at $30 per side.. yeah the choice is easy.
You can use a 17 mm socket,you made need a breaker bar,or what I usually use is a good size pipe that will fit over the ratchet for extra torque,don't forget when done use whichever you use to retighten with same force,thx for watching video
The rubber ring holding those 2 plates apart wore away on my van, and an ungodly rattle continues while I drive. Where can I buy? Or should I replace? Or any handy tricks?

Yup
Thanks for this. I was thinking about replacing the shocks on my 05 Sedona, now I know how. Go Steelers!
Thanks and yes.
Thank you for your persistence and for sharing this!!
Whoever tries this repair make sure you put a Jack or something to support the bottom end when you remove the shock it will drop
thank you

if you need vice grips to remove old nut how do you keep new shock from spinning when you install? thx
The grips are for removal because of the torque pressure
Thanks for the video brother...
Hi , thank you for the video can I ask you what tools size you used please, thank you.
Just a ratchet and vice grip

matthew marcacci can you show me a picture of the problem
I think I know what you talking about you should replace them if bad since your especially when your into changing the shocks, ask for shock bushings
Kia will try to make you take your car to a Kia garage because of how crowded all parts are,thank you for commenting.
