Just a hint, the top of that particular shock shaft has flat sides on it and can be held in a stable position with a small open end wrench (8 mm) or a Vice grip rather than having someone else under the vehicle holding that other nut stable. Good installation though, especially due to the different bushing and washer placements from the OEM parts.
I just installed these Monroe shocks yesterday. The nut on the upper mount for both shocks was a real pain to get on. Felt like it was cross threading but it was not. Could have been the coating on the threads so prior to installing the second one I used a wrench and my impact to screw on the nut. There were some metal shavings as though it was cutting new threads but the threads on the shaft and nut seemed fine. I put a little lubricant on the threads which helped the install a bit but it was still a struggle to get that nut on but not as bad as the first one. Did anyone have this issue?
Hello, Thanks for sharing the video. I do got a question. I see other videos without taking the wheel off and no jack stand replacing the rear shock absorbers. I know you said to used jack but is it possible not to use one and just remove the shock to be replace?
It is possible but there will be less space to work with underneath the car. Whatever’s easier and more comfortable for you. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for the video! I just ordered a full set of Monroe shocks w/ springs for the front, as well as shocks for the rear. If my 2014 Sienna is "sagging" in the back without a load in it, will shocks fix that or do I need to replace the springs too?
If it is sagging with no load, that points more to the soil springs. The springs hold the weight of the vehicle all the time. Then when a quick force is applied while driving (bump, hole, turning, etc) the force compresses the strut. If it is sagging, it's because the spring has lost some of its strength.
Thank you. This helped me out alot today. Great job explaining thing. Made it easier for me. Thank you again.
I've got to go change my shocks now but all of a sudden I just want to go to Hawaii lol

I noticed the shocks you replace were for a 7passenger and new shocks were 8passenger shocks.. that okay? Cause I wanted to do the same???
Thank you sir. Good video

Torque the lug nuts to 80 ft/lb
It would be good if you show why the old one is bad
That’s a great suggestion! As for this one, the shocks were leaking and it had over 200k+ mileage on it! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
