You guys make the best vids

[@UNAMHEMI]

On many other videos they use a second jack to lift up the spring, is it necessary?

[@Jayyy1990]

Question after doing so is it necessary to get a wheel alignment?

[@joshrevier7333]

Would this be the same for a 2014 charger pursuit AWD V8

[@qwerty5587]

Would this work with a 2016 Chrysler 300c awd?

[@dmatheau]

Will these work on a touring 2010 Chrysler 300?

[@mariocasas9132]

Excellent

[@checheroman9300]

Do you guys have any videos on rear toe link replacement for this same vehicle?

[@1AAuto]

+cheche roman We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1AAuto.com

[@checheroman9300]

@@1AAuto hopefully you guys can create one for the rear suspension replacement of this vehicle!

[@thomasbobo7356]

Im about to work on my rear toe as well. Looking forward to videos

[@toddsanders7287]

We need a video on the removal of the rear lower control arm that the shock was bolted too.

[@1AAuto]

+Todd Sanders We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@Ryot_00]

I bought these for my 06 charger but the bottom part of the shock moves left and right. Did I get the wrong ones?

[@1AAuto]

+N3KO_o The shock shouldn't have any movement in it. If it is moving and the base where the bolt goes through, the bolt may not be tightened enough. If this doesn't resolve the issue that you are experiencing, please call our customer service staff at 888-844-3393 and we can take a look at your order for you. We are here to help you out, and strive for 100% total customer satisfaction. Best Regards, 1A Auto

I'm doing coilovers on the rear... Awd magnum.. Can you do a video, or tell me here, how I can do the rear springs (with coilovers)....?

[@1AAuto]

+RESTLESS FEATURES We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@MD_Wrapz]

Thanks for the reply. And I'll be looking forward to it... Please do add verbal info for people adding coilovers to the rear... The front is exactly the same process so no need to show/tell I can share that video around. And plenty of views will hit. Stock is always needed but that extra info for them coilovers would be super helpful.

[@A1_Libra]

I replaced the rear shocks and it makes a noise do I have to take them off and prime them so the noise can stop?

[@1AAuto]

+@A1_Libra We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@mrcarman07]

do you have a video on how to replace the rear spring

[@1AAuto]

+mrcarman07 We currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular repair. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com

[@jaylovegunsandmopars7118]

did you ever find one dude im doing one now on a 07 charger

[@mrcarman07]

look up speedys garage on KZbin and he has really detailed videos on how to do all the suspension on his challenger but it's the exact same for 300s and chargers

[@GoldRanger1]

I did everything you guys did and my shock will NOT compress. I've tried everything and it won't compress. What can I do?

[@paulk64]

You need to use a ratchet strap to compress it

[@zivkomanev8352]

Hello guys I need help! I just been told from the mechanics that my car use a self leveling shock absorbers with part Nr. 681431AB. I check and they cost a lot! Can i use some other parts who cost less or without self leveling?

[@zivkomanev8352]

My car is a chrysler 300 3.6 awd 2013 luxury edition

[@juanlopez-vw1dt]

What is the piece on the bottom of the shock and spring called?

[@bigmoney7354]

I need to know that my wheels are leaning in

[@swirling5418]

I wonder why won't they answer your question?

[@1AAuto]

+juan lopez That would be the lower control arm. 1aauto.com

[@elplebeloco]

I've replaced rear shock mount 2 times and bushing keeps coming out of the metal mount. Anyone know why this might be happening?

[@hahahahaha8660]

Aftermarket parts just do that some times or possibly over tightened.

[@dexmyster11]

Cause you don’t know what you’re doing

[@zivkomanev8352]

hell i need big help around these shock absorbers! i searche verywhere and i cannot find the Sachs replasmemt and everyone ask me the vin nummmber. but my car is in Europe and the vin is not the same like in Usa! it is very simple. whats the difference between RWD and AWD chrysler 300 year 2013. 3.6 penta star. why? i think all the REAR shock absorber are the same. mine is luxury edition without self leveling. now i dont know what to buy for ma car! everyone say different. which part is for my car correct??? Mine is AWD fit this maybe will change front because is AWD but rear what difference does it make?

[@1AAuto]

+Zivko Manev The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@straighter12345]

You said 53 foot pounds what does that means and how do you determine that by sight

[@1AAuto]

+Jonathan Ramos The bottom shock bolt requires 53 FT LBS of torque. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@IcarusTECH]

Put some air in that dang tire too!

[@1AAuto]

+IcarusTech Thanks for the tip!

[@lololucero1]

Thank you for the vid.. but be honest! That wasn’t the 2006 Chrysler 300 in the beginning of the video lol

[@1967res]

It has a 300C front end swapped on.

[@devonpollock3505]

So I followed these instructions exactly, and 15 minutes into my first drive, the struts fired up through the shock mount. The struts pushed the rubber shock mount bushing clean through the steel housing. That wider steel washer you tossed away? Yeah, it's supposed to go between the strut and the shock mount. I'm furious. If I lived in the US, I'd be contacting a lawyer. I sincerely hope that other people see my comment and don't make the mistake of taking these videos seriously.

[@TDRMentol]

What if not loot buddy

[@ThePdboxx]

*Caution This video only suitable for normal rear shock ab. Nivomet type shocks need a strap.

I just replaced my nivomats on my 2012 dodge charger enforcer with bilstein 24-216951 the go for $180 each in 🇨🇦 new nivomats were $800 each 😢make sure to get a ratchet strap to replace them because they are impossible to remove without one the new bilsteins are awesome😊

[@IkillPigz]

U coulda just went in the trunk and unscrewed it
