Q: How to properly dispose of a Shock Absorber on GMC Acadia?
A: An individual must wear protective eyewear before disposing of the suspension shock/strut by drilling because metal chips may cause injuries. Position the strut horizontally in a vise when you clamp it while keeping the rod in its full extended position. Use a 5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit to make a hole directly through the end cap's center so gas or a mix of gas and oil can escape. Shop towels act as a containment system for the oil during the process. Lower the drill-bit-strut-combination from the vise while disposing it in the drain pan with the drilled hole pointing downwards. The rod must now be used to move into and out of the tube so the strut can drain all its oil.
Q: How to replace the shock absorber on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: Start by lifting and supporting the vehicle, and then support the rear axle before anything else. Start by taking off the upper Shock Absorber nut and bolt, then remove the lower Shock Absorber nut and bolt, and afterwards take out the Shock Absorber. First, put the new Shock Absorber where it goes and use the upper Shock Absorber nut and bolt to secure it, making sure to read about any fastener risks in the instructions to prevent vehicle damage. Now, put the lower Shock Absorber nut and bolt in place. You should tighten the upper and lower Shock Absorber bolts with 115 nm (85 lb ft). After you have installed the Shock Absorber, take away the support from the rear axle and the stands, then lower the vehicle.
Q: How to replace the shock absorber on the 15 Series on GMC Yukon?
A: Proceed with replacing the 15 series Shock Absorber by raising and supporting the vehicle. When the car has electrical suspension control (ESC) you need to remove its electrical connector and air lines before supporting the rear axle. The esc sensor needs disconnection if the vehicle has this component. Begin by untightening the upper Shock Absorber nut and bolt before moving onto the lower Shock Absorber nut and bolt to finally remove the Shock Absorber. The installation requires the new Shock Absorber to be placed into its position while securing it with upper Shock Absorber nut and bolt according to the fastener notice in cautions and notices. Installe both the upper and lower Shock Absorber nuts and bolts next while tightening them to 95 nm (70 ft. Lbs.). Reconnect rtd's electrical connector together with its air line component when equipped. Install the esc sensor after disconnecting it. Putting away the rear axle support then discard safety stands while lowering the vehicle.
