How to remove a rear shock absorber from a 2005 Kia Sedona

[@JohnHilman1968]

it's worth noting that this is useful for the 2001-2005 Sedona... the option that Kia tries to sell you: is to buy and replace the upper mounting bracket and shock as an assembly. At $180 per side... I think not. Following this video and buying the shocks from Rock Auto at $30 per side.. yeah the choice is easy.

Yup

[@adamcz3183]

Whoever tries this repair make sure you put a Jack or something to support the bottom end when you remove the shock it will drop

Thank you for your persistence and for sharing this!!

Thanks for this. I was thinking about replacing the shocks on my 05 Sedona, now I know how. Go Steelers!

[@tonylupita94]

Thanks and yes.

[@BigAlWillis]

if you need vice grips to remove old nut how do you keep new shock from spinning when you install? thx

[@chicanopridealvarez1385]

The grips are for removal because of the torque pressure

[@tonylupita94]

You can use a 17 mm socket,you made need a breaker bar,or what I usually use is a good size pipe that will fit over the ratchet for extra torque,don't forget when done use whichever you use to retighten with same force,thx for watching video

[@MarcAndCheese69]

The rubber ring holding those 2 plates apart wore away on my van, and an ungodly rattle continues while I drive. Where can I buy? Or should I replace? Or any handy tricks?

[@tonylupita94]

matthew marcacci can you show me a picture of the problem

[@chicanopridealvarez1385]

I think I know what you talking about you should replace them if bad since your especially when your into changing the shocks, ask for shock bushings
