I want to say thank you for you video about fixing front shocks on the Ranger. I have 2011 ford ranger that I got back in 2012. I just recently replaced all 4 shocks on my truck. But knowing and seeing how you did the front shocks really helped and made changing mine much more easier. The video was clear and straight to what is needed and that there. I have seen other video's on replacing my shocks and they were good but I find your was a lot better. And gave me bit more confident about doing my on work on my truck. So thank you very much.
I do want to know after I changed my shocks I did have sway bar link snap on me there few days after. But getting under my truck and seeing that issue and how suppose on the other side I was more than able and felt the ability to replace them as well, which I was able to pretty easy. Down side is I am hearing a slight knocking or clunking on the front left driver side as I drive. This only seems to happened when I reverse out of my drive way and when driving down the road. Not sure if there is something loss or possiblity when then sway bar link snapped that it may have damaged something else. So far I have looked multiple times under the truck and not seeing anything as of yet.

I made the mistake of over torquing my replacement shocks, and buying cheap replacements last time. They didnt last long. Made sure to spend the money on decent Rancho shock absorbers and followed these tips for a proper replacement of the cheap ones

Having this done to my 99 Tahoe in 2 months as it bounces on dips (I actually like it bouncing but my dealership told me a few times now I should replace the front shocks, so I will be. Definitely not doing it myself though.

What do you do when trying to tighten the bolt on top, but the entire shaft spins? I installed front shocks on 2004 mustang gt, but can tighten the top bolt. So frustrated!
P. s I'm using an impact wrench, and still nothing.

Need Help! When I try to tighten the top shock mount it just spins the shock and I cannot tighten it properly so it clunks. Does anyone know what I can do? There is barely any room to get an impact on it in my 1994 ranger.

Can you add struts to a truck that has shock absorbers? I have a 1986 4runner and i really need to change them but i'm confused on what i can replace them with. Looking a Bilstein Struts with adjustable lift, thanks!

glad you said something about what the bushings should look like as you tighten. If you have a shock that has a rubber bushing to it, is tightening it down to the size of the round metal the same procedure?
