Nice. All of my bolts and nuts where 18mm. Love how they always change small stuff like that through production
Mines 21mm
Noticed that the new shock appeared much smaller in diameter? Seen similar company's cut corners like this to keep cost down... my question is hows the ride quality?
Nice editing in this one
Thanks
Following instructions working out great
Ha! Kenda Klevers! Great tire for a great price! Haven't seen very many truck owners run 'em.
Love them they are way more famous in the mountain bike atmosphere tho rhe brand that is
New shock looks thinner than the original Motorcraft shock.
👍 good job & thx however, @ 3:45... Replaced? Get a hammer & pry-bar- it’s hi strength steel, stuff gets bent in/on/underneath a truck!
I feel like a lot was edited in the removal of the top nut... I cut mine off at the rubber. Not fun. But ride 10 times better. Northeast 🚚. if only the guy before me replace them while the bed was off
I have a 97 f150 4x4 and i do not have the access hole in the frame that you point out at the 54sec mark of the video. Oh how i wish i did. the threaded stud and nut at the top of the old shock is rusted together. vitually no room to access top nut. 14" vicegrip wont hold the polished shaft tight enough to break the nut. help
Snap it off. Doing what these people are saying will take days in a home shop. Or for your case you can’t get to it
This video does not really apply to the 97s. Not sure when they made the changes to the rear frame but i know for a fact that my early 97 does not have the access holes in the frame. and top bolts are 18s.
Is there a torque spec for top/ bottom or just as you said until the top stops and then just crank it down on the bottom?
I have a 2003 SuperCrew F-150 is there a reason why the right rear shock has two different mounting positions one for in front of the axle and for behind the axle when I first got the truck the right rear shock was over the axle facing the engine but now I switched it to over the axle facing the rear????
The right rear needs to have the top of the shock leaned toward the front of the pickup.
The left rear needs to have the shock landed toward the rear of the pickup.
As for the upper mount... if you've an overly stubborn nut do you have a last resort kinda procedure suggestion? Technique?
+BradlyJ03 We would suggest using some penetrating oil and letting it sit for quite a while to break up any corrosion. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto finally managed. Took some effort. Couldn't get anything to grip. Ended on a pipe wrench.
Thank you
Does the 2003 f150 7700 take same shocks?
What if the lower part of shock won't go in to bolt it?
So my 03 came with Rancho RS5000 shocks- do I have to put those back in (possibly oem lift?), or can I just put in any shocks? Just looking to replace for safety reasons and not spend a ton of money.
i notice the new shock don't come with a bolt, i had to use the old one
How many people out there have a lift to raise their vehicle so they can perform this shock replacement??? Get real! Show us how to do it if you have to do it on the ground, in the dirt, and if you're lucky, on a concrete pad. That's why we come to 1A Auto! Otherwise we would take it to a shop and have someone do it for us!
+Poprocks4u Lifting the vehicle makes it easier for our video crew to film the repair. Of course, we understand the vehicle does not have to be lifted to complete the repair.
Aren't you a whiny little biatch. It's the same shit on jack stands, you're just sitting on the ground instead of standing upright
mans can't use a hammer
I did mine with the bed off .... way easier
the rebound on that new shock is INSANELY too low, that is a defective shock
Can u run dual shocks on a F-150 Raptor
Can i do this without the truck being lifted in the air
+Luis Hërñàñdëž Yes you can! 1aauto.com
Does this apply to a four wheel drive?
+Daniel Hinkle Hello, the rear shocks on a two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive will have the same procedure. Thanks! 1AAuto.com
looks like those shocks dont do much work if your able to push them in so easily.
Those are Cheap Shocks and too Small for heavy Cargo i would get the Thicker ones that the truck uses
any idea where i might be able to buy one of the lower shock brackets? mine is bent like you showed in the video but so much that i cant put new shock in.
+NebulousFox We currently do not carry them. You may want to check Ebay. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
for anyone else that may need. there are no oem or related parts for replacing the mount itself not even from ford directly. you must get an aftermarket, built or fabricated one to replace the old one and weld on. that is at least for the 98
Hammer and pry bar as previously mentioned. The steel mount is very forgiving, so don't be afraid to out some @$$ on it when you swing the hammer.
That's poor bottom bolt Jesus bud...
