Damaged Shock!

[Anquetil]

I was checking out my right front suspension which has been recently replaced and noticed that the shock absorber was damaged a fair bit. My question is, is it a simple process to replace the shock or is there a bit more involved with aftermarket suspension?

Removing and replacing a spring and shock as a unit is piss easy. Did all 4 corners today in 2.5hrs including a lunch break.

Ifyou need to separate the springs from the shocks you will need a pair of spring compressors. Then the hardest thing is removing the nut at the top of the shocker.

A word of warning: Dont remove the top of the assembly without compressing the spring first. You can get hurt pretty bad when the top goes flying into your jaw. Also, you'll never get the thing together without the compressors

Hope this helps some
