YoopingSUV Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 So I found out last week one of my rear shocks was completely broken. I have the new ones here, and now just waiting for my buddy to get out of work so I can use his lift. 2nd year college kid here so I dont have a garage with all the tools i used to have.. Just wanted to see if anyone has replaced the rear shocks on a 92 Pathfinder, RWD V6 3.0. It looks pretty straight forward but you can never be to sure! If theres anymore to it then just slipping the new ones in please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nope, we all still run the stock units or just took them off and run without... Just kidding! Yes, it is as easy as it seems (unless they are rusted in place), just two bolts each. I like to work top down, so remove the old shock, bolt the new one on with the top mount first, but just snug. If you have gas charged shocks, they will have keepers on them; when you cut the keeper, it will start to extend. Try to guide the bottom on before it over extends, otherwise you'll have to compress it to mount the bottom. Not a tough job, you got this...

maaakaaa Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A little grease will do wonders for getting the new shocks to slide onto the posts. I felt pretty stupid for fighting them so long before thinking of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
