Replacing steer shocks

[@styvoll2004]

Love these guys! they have such a chemistry and partnership!

[@mitmmusicgroup7999]

Good deal. VIC... you definitely inspired me to start doing most of the work on my rig this summer

[@albtaulant]

The lower bolt of the shock on driver side must go from outside to inside otherwise the drag link may be locked by the bolt when driving. That's very dangerous.

[@AstroRef68]

Thanks for your teaching. I’ll keep in mind .

[@stillblastin96]

What? I’m confused don’t you just put it back how it was?

[@bulzibit1]

Also recommended to use anti sieze paste on the bolts

[@thereviewer4173]

Anti-seize is not needed at all. Just do not over-torque them and you’ll be fine. On the Cascadia, the front shocks require 140 ft lbs. The drive shocks need 165 ft lbs. In general, all bolt threads (at the tip) on the truck should be lubricated with 1-2 drops of motor oil before torquing them.

Thanks vic im learning a lot in this channel God bless you always.👌✌🙌

[@victortorres370Z]

Very helpful video tocayo! My passenger steer is loose and I’ve put 80k miles on my rig I believe it’s time for a new set also. Stay safe brother and God bless you

[@rubberduckyconvoy2723]

Thank you driver 4 best tips. My 2019 Cascadia passed 286000. I want to replace Shocks.

[@erwannjousselin3670]

Just trying to straighten up a myth. Gas shocks contain oil. The gas is there to prevent the oil from foaming inside the tube under heavy usage and to prevent loss of dampening.

[@jsol134]

I agree gas shocks do have oil inside.

[@gaindarampersaud3544]

Nice Vic-what size Milwaukee impact was that?

[@JPerez-ld6nb]

So because of the shocks your tires wear out. I just replaced my tires not to long ago and they are in need of replacement again. I was thinking of replacing my front shocks because the cabin is a little bouncy. 2011 Isuzu NPR

[@harleyss475]

... you make it look easy bro... you sound a lot better... peace... thanks for the video

[@ThinkEagle7]

So how do i ask for oil base shocks?

[@leehancock2782]

Man i need to get that big Milwaukee impact, just have a 3/8 drive

[@michaelwright1602]

100 foot lbs, not 800 foot pounds... Just replaced all of my shocks, I had nothing to break the bolts loose, so off to the TA, it took the tech 4 hours to break those 14 bolts loose. He asked who installed these? I said you guys, as I had the same issue before. ;-)

[@StillHawginTV]

What size impact gun is that?

[@vicmed6088]

1/2 inch

[@rhetleonard2968]

Do you recommend never seize on the bolts?

[@sirguy19]

If you don’t mind me asking I see it’s a Milwaukee impact wrench but what size and what’s the torque I need to look for

[@Gstarxpress]

Bill Guy u need mechanic man if u don’t know shit

[@thereviewer4173]

Get one from Home Depot that can do (at least) 1400 ft lbs of “nut-busting” torque. You also want a 1/2” drive as that is the most common size of sockets for heavy duty use like a semi truck.

[@Seewhy4]

Thank you such much Via Chicago be safe driver

[@bbtrucking1616]

Looks like an easy job I rather buy the tool then pay a shop for the same amount of money to replace the shocks. 👍🏻

[@cindyggonzalez670]

I love you grandpa have a good day at work

[@erwincorado6457]

What brand are does mr victor

[@josephvillarreal4206]

[@ECIDtrucket]

Sachs thats what i use. If youre tired of changing shocks every year or so

[@StickNclutch]

Where are you getting Sachs for semi trucks?

[@ECIDtrucket]

@@StickNclutch at your dealer. They never offer you Sachs..you got to ask them. They are around 150& each instead of Monroe for 60 each

[@MrLewis6965]

[@mikcoyour5191]

Good lookin out bro I'm finna sidestep that mechanic fee today

[@geoestrada5001]

im an owner op. i doit my selfe i take it to the shop for pm oil change and major repairs, ionly replaced for original parts, shocks absorbes only last for two years originals,

[@arielgarcia416]

After 100 000 miles of use they are gone, leaking or not leaking Damage to shocks may not be visible - that's why 70 000 miles is the key number for replacing shocks.

[@kingkon164]

@4:45 if you can squeeze it close that easy and talk at the same time, that shock is bad brother.

[@carloss9360]

This guy is the best

[@ginny198525]

Thanks brother 👍

[@auto1640]

Don’t forget to put some anti seize lubricant on the bolts and nuts

[@BIGDOGS05]

What impact wrench is that ?

[@salvadorlopez7989]

IT help me a lot

[@salvadorlopez7989]

Nice vedeo

[@silvabullet7546]

Thanks...!!!

[@dejavu4063]

Hey vic what brand is that original shock from the dealer ? They seem pretty expensive.

[@vicmed6088]

they are more expensive,but they are worth it,i do not know the brand

[@geraldofonseca9237]

Haha the boss lady lol

[@KABKA33BEP]

At LOVE'S it takes them 1 h per shock, 2 shocks = 2 h of labor plus parts and taxes. Because they are certified mechs. 😁

[@rolandogarciagonzalez4027]

Just bought them for $130, need Trump back asap. Thank for the video.

[@tyflesh]

Brother Vic as easy as it was to push that driver side shock in its also weak. Definitely not doing its job.. Thanks for the video!!

[@vicmed6088]

you are right,thanks for tunning in

[@tyflesh]

@@vicmed6088 my truck was riding with a knocking noise over bumps, it turned out being the cab torsion bar. The bushings where shot. Replaced with new cab shocks now my neck and shoulders aren't soar and the end of the day.. Wow what a difference!!
