Rear Shock Replacement - 2006 Commander

[@henryrodriguezdeleon7643]

Sir, you deserve all the power tools you want. Was great watching the video.

[@katherineaddicks6468]

Teach them early!😃 so sweet...😍 Thank you for taking the time to share 🧡

[@greasemonkeyradio1279]

My 06' Commander needs all 4 corners replaced. Gives me confidence to do the job myself. Thanks!

[@mexmonster3198]

same 👍🏼

[@Area612]

The front struts are nothing like replacing the rear shocks.

[@greasemonkeyradio1279]

@@Area612 Your right. My wife insisted we take it to our mechanic. Real glad we did.

[@utdallaz]

Thanks for showing me how!

[@joe68166]

were closing in on 9 years now but how long did those last for you? i havent heard anything good about monroe suspension products

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

They did last a few years. But, the springs eventually started making noise. I have cheap knock off springs on the rear now. They don't lift the rear at all, but do the job.

[@juanmadera5180]

how they felt the new ones.

[@VideoNOLA]

Not here to "troll" but gotta say it looks like the upper bolt may have been slightly over-torqued, since I noticed that you had to kinda "bend" the shock into position for the lower assembly. I'm sure it's a non-issue, but in general I believe you want "free swing" (just barely) freedom of movement at the upper pivot point.

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

VideoNOLA I will check them out. They've been on there for a few years, so they may have loosened up on their own.

[@VideoNOLA]

Wavetechlifeguardian I'm probably wrong to even bring it up, since I've witnessed a few other similar videos that show the torquing spec to be 80-85 ft-lbs, so you're all good to go!

[@gioanniaguilar2890]

what shocks are those?

[@boberiasandthings7652]

Do they sell them in pairs or separate. Thanks

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

Pairs only, as far as I know.,

@@Wavetechlifeguardian can i have the link x to find it.? Thankyou

[@johnopina3384]

How have these held up for you? Have you changed the set up at all?

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

They lasted about 3-4 years before the spring came loose and starting making noise. New ones were just as easy to install, and still working great. I wish the front struts/shocks were that easy to change out. I need to do the front next.

[@johnopina3384]

Wavetechlifeguardian good to know. How did the ride quality end up being?

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

Very nice. Not too bouncy at all, being that it's still a Jeep SUV.

[@mikejuarez1]

Did you ever use them off road? If so how did they perform ?

[@juanmadera5180]

How the ride feels on these smooth or bouncy. Dont like bouncy. Like more like smooth ride like brand new

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

Not bouncy, but not as smooth as stock. A little more stiff, but not bad.

[@RebelRob34]

Did this make a big difference in the ride? And why not replace the other spring? Thanks

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

Not a big difference in ride. They just gave the rear end a little boost. I did not want to replace springs or lift the Jeep, though.

[@exfaraldo]

Thanks for the vid, did the install affect the ride, smoothness, of the ride.

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

Not a noticeable difference in ride, but possibly a little more bouncy in the rear. Not enough to make me go back to stock though.

[@SladeWilsonOG]

As this video is old I’m just gonna say a 1/2 inch drive would save you a lot of sweat bro

[@tombrady-dh5tz]

Kind of look like they are upside down

[@jedimormon7138]

they do not make bilstiens?

[@19chalito78]

Kid!! Move out!!, I can't watch

[@jason65118]

Agreed. Poor choice with the child involved and so close to danger zone-

[@ladylove223]

❤😂

[@cristinag571]

Give it thumbs down, kiddo is in the way

[@pavichtv.4942]

Man that reminded me of my three-year-old boy helping me with my front struts and springs haha it's really good for the boys to learn at that age. I don't think it's too dangerous like everybody else is saying! Helpful video though glad to see that the rear is going to be a lot easier👍
