    Q:
    How to replace a shock absorber on Chevrolet Aveo? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The first step to replace a Shock Absorber involves removing its upper bolts which attach to the body. The vehicle needs bodily support from a hoist to reach proper height so you can install adjustable stands under the rear axle assembly. Work on one Shock Absorber at a time while the vehicle remains elevated to protect brake hoses. The first movement should be to raise the vehicle before removing the Shock Absorber-to-axle bottom bolt followed by the Shock Absorber removal. The installation process requires the axle to reach its specified trim height before you secure the Shock Absorber attaching bolts. After inserting the lower Shock Absorber-to-axle bolt into the Shock Absorber lower attachment bracket and axle it is necessary to lower the vehicle to install the upper shock stud into the body opening before attaching the bolts loosely. To complete the process you must tighten the lower Shock Absorber-to-axle bolt to 72 n.m (53 lb ft) while the upper Shock Absorber-to-body bolt needs a torque of 50 n.m (37 lb ft).
