Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear shocks on this 2005 Ford F150 and we show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. We recommend that if you replace one of them, you replace the other one. The items you'll need for this are new rear shocks from 1AAuto.com and a 15 millimeter socket and ratchet and 18 millimeter wrench.
For these shocks, you actually don't even need to put your vehicle up in the air. You've got 15 millimeter bolts going into 18 millimeter nuts, same thing on the top and on the bottom. I've got my 18 millimeter wrench on there, I'm going to use another wrench, and hook it on for some extra leverage.
If you're working with the vehicle on the ground, you obviously don't need a jack under here, but, if you're working with the vehicle up in the air, you want to take your jack and just get it, because the shocks are actually holding the rear end up. You just take a little bit of pressure off the shocks. Now at this point, if your vehicle's on the ground, you want to be careful, because when you remove this if your shock is still pressurized it's going to want to push down. You saw it push down a little bit there. I just kept this nut on just for safety. Remove the nut from up there. Remove that bolt. Bring the shock down.
To reinstall is the reverse. Make sure you put the shock behind your emergency brake cable. You'll have to push up. Again, if your vehicle's on the ground, you're going to have to push up more. Push the shock up. Put the bolt through. Replace the nut at the top of the shock. If you had your vehicle lifted, you can remove this jack. We'll fast forward as Mike tightens the top and bottom bolts on the shock, just preliminarily for right now. Now, just make sure that the weight's back on your shocks entirely. Then, tighten them up the rest of the way as tight as you can get them with the wrenches. Then you're all set.
