Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to replace the front shocks and spring assemblies on this 2011 Chevy Silverado. This is a 1500 with full-wheel drive. It's the same as any Chevy Silverado 1500 as well as the GMC Sierra 1500. We'll show you the passenger's side, but the driver's side is the same procedure. We do always recommend you replace these in pairs. You'll need new struts from 1AAuto.com, you'll need 15mm to 22mm sockets with a ratchet, a long extension, breaker bar or pipe for some extra leverage, penetrating oil, torque wrench, and jack and jack stands.
From the top there are three 18mm nuts that hold the top of the strut in place. You can see one there, one has a wire loom on it there that I'm going to reach down, grab, and just pull off. I apologize for the camera shot. You just grab the wire clip and pull it up off the stud. You have the other one there and your third one there.
Now use an 18mm socket with a long extension and remove those three nuts. Remove the center cab just by prying with a screwdriver, and if you don't have the benefit of air tools, loosen the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground, then raise and secure the vehicle. Then remove the lug nuts the rest of the way. Remove the wheel and tire, and they are 22mm lug nuts.
Turn the wheel using hands or using the steering wheel, and then you need to remove the stabilizer link. Make sure you put some penetrating oil on the top end of it there, then use a wrench on the top side and a socket and ratchet on the bottom side to remove it all the way. Going to speed it up a little bit using an impact wrench to take that off. It just speeds things up for us.
Now with the shock or strut in place, we're just using a 15mm socket and ratchet. You might want to use a breaker bar to break them loose, but they come apart pretty easy on this truck. We'll fast-forward as we just take those out. With those bolts out, press down on the suspension some and bring the strut down and then up and out.
You can see the new struts from 1A Auto are exactly the same. There are two clips on the old strut that you want to pry off with a screwdriver, and then it's easiest to reinstall those just when you put the strut back into the vehicle. Put them on there, put the bolt up through, and you'll see us to do that. Putting the strut back in, if you look on the top of the strut where the coil spring ends that goes to the outside, and you put the strut back in and then lift it up into place.
Then you can just start the nuts onto the top. Put the bottom down in place, take your bolt, run it up through, and then those clips that you took off of the original strut, put them into place, and we just kind of hold them with our fingers, get the bolt started, and then you can press them down into place and tighten up the bolts the rest of the way.
You can see here we use a screwdriver to put through the clip to hold it in place until it gets down far enough that it holds itself in place. Repeat it for the other side as well. You can tighten these up between 70 and 75 foot-pounds. Speed up as we put the stabilizer link back in place. Use a pry bar to lift up on the swag bar a little bit, put the link back in place, put the bolt up through, and then tighten the nut down on top.
Then put our wheel back on, put the lug nuts back on by hand first, then tighten them up preliminarily. With the vehicle back down on the ground and secure, torque the lug nuts to 110 foot-pounds using a crossing pattern. Tighten up and torque the top three nuts to *38* foot-pounds, and put that wire clip back in place. You should be all set.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear shocks on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's the same part and process on the Silverados and Sierras from 2008 to 2013. The items you'll need are: new rear shocks from 1AAuto.com, a jack and jack stands, penetrating oil, 21 millimeter socket and ratchet, a piece of pipe for leverage, 21 millimeter wrench, a torque wrench, and a hammer.
The shocks are obviously located right under the vehicle, attached to the rear-end and up to the frame. We're going to show you the left side, and the right side is the same procedure. To start off, you're going to want to spray some penetrating oil on these bolts, the one at the bottom, and then the one up at the top. Using a 21 millimeter socket and ratchet with a piece of pipe, you want to loosen up that bolt. You'll see that the actual bolt will keep turning in there, so you're going to want to use a 21 millimeter wrench on the other side, and just loosen up that nut and remove it. You want to do the same thing to the upper bolt, but you won't need a wrench for this because the nut is actually welded to the truck. Using a hammer, just hit that bolt out. You can use another bolt or a small screwdriver. Just hit that in to push the bolts out. Once that bolt is removed, swing that down and you can pull the bolts out from up top.
Here's the old part in the front, and the new part from 1A Auto in the back. You can see they're identical. They'll fit exactly the same. Now, take your new rear shock, and put it up into place. Replace the bolt. Now, you want to swing that lower part into position. If you can see there, it wasn't actually going to reach. What you want to do is either lower your vehicle so there's a little bit of pressure on the wheels to push that up, or just put a jack underneath this, and bring it up. You're really just trying to get that high enough so that it will match up with the shock. Now as you can see, the bolt slides right in. You just want to replace that nut. We'll fast-forward as he tightens these two bolts up. Now torque the nut on the lower part to 80 to 85 foot pounds, and the same with the bolt up top. Then go ahead and replace the other side. We always recommend you replace your shocks in pairs.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
Remove the center cap with a large flat-bladed screwdriver or a plastic prying tool you can get from 1AAuto.com. Push in here and pop it off. Use a 22 millimeter socket and breaker bar to loosen the lug nuts while the vehicle is still on the ground. Raise and support the vehicle and finish removing the wheel.
Support the suspension arm assembly with a jack or a jack stand. We're using this because we're working on a two post lift. The suspension is going to want to drop when we remove the strut and spring assembly, so that's why we need to have it supported. At the top here, there are three studs with nuts. We will start by removing those. And then, loosen the two stud and nuts on the bottom and pull the strut assembly out.
I will spray some rust penetrant on the nuts and bolts here. Use a 15 millimeter wrench on the top ones. If they are stuck, use a dead blow, break them free. With those broken free, I'm going to switch to a ratcheting wrench, make things go a little quicker. These two lower mounting bolts go through the control arm. There is a 15 millimeter head on this side, and an 18 millimeter nut on this side. I'm going to try to break this nut free first. Take my wrench and then hit it with my mallet.
So it looks like it's actually turning the nut, and not the bolt, which is good. Free it up. I'm going to try to do the same for the other side. With the nut loose, I'm going to kind of hold it with my 18 millimeter, and take a 15 millimeter socket and ratchet. Now I've got it loose, I can undo it with my fingers. Slide the long bolt out. I'll put these together and put them aside. So repeat the removal for the other bolt. I'm going to hold the shock and I'll lower the suspension down. I'm going to capture one of the top nuts just so if the strut and shock combination comes loose, it doesn't fall completely out. I'm going to take a pry bar and sort of push against the bottom. Reach up, hold the strut up, and undo that top nut. Pull it out of the mount. It's not going to come down this way, so it's going have to come out through the top. We have our strut and spring assembly.
Here's our old strut and spring assembly from our vehicle, and our brand new assembled strut and spring from 1AAuto.com. So the nice things is you don't have to worry about swapping these springs, which can be very difficult. It comes fully loaded, ready to go. As you can see, it's got the same mounting bolt holes in the bottom. It has the same three studs on the top to mount. It has the same three mounting studs on the top as the original that came out. And this should go in your vehicle great and give you a good ride. This is just a warning sticker. You can remove this before you install it. You don't need to mess with this center nut. It's all set.
The spring is assembled. The warning's telling you not to undo it. Just leave it alone. You can take the sticker off. So we're going to go ahead and install this in the vehicle now. Before we install it, just remove these nuts that it comes with. Place them aside. I'm going to loosen this one and hold onto it, because when I install it, I'm going to use it to just hang the strut in place so it doesn't fall. So just keep that in a handy spot. When you install this, there are two mounting holes in the back. They are slotted, so they give you a little bit of room to work with.
I'm going to line the strut up with the two studs in the back and the one in the front, faced the way that it's already set up. And these are lined up to match up with the control arm. We're going to go in the reverse the way we took the old one out. Slide it up into place. That's why I kept the nut handy. I can reach up and capture one so it doesn't fall on me. I'm going to use that one nut I installed and a ratcheting wrench to just draw the strut up into place. I'm going to pry up on the suspension a bit, on the strut, do this. I have a large pry bar on one side of the suspension arm, so I basically just pried the control arm down, and then pried the shock into place. Take a punch and align the bolt holes.
You're going to have to spend some time moving the shock around to get these bolts to line up, either using an awl or a punch or a little pry bar to try and pry it around. This one doesn't quite line up. I've got the other one captured, so we'll take a pry bar and sort of pry the strut around. Try to wiggle it in. There it is. I captured the other two nuts on the top studs. These are locking nuts. And if they're torqued, they'll be locked in place. The bolts that we're replacing these with, the head is a 13 millimeter, the nut is still a 15. I'm just going to snug these up. And we'll use a 15 millimeter ratcheting wrench. Tighten up the top nuts. I torqued these lower bolts to 37 foot-pounds. Caught a hold of the top of the bolt and nut. Repeat the other one. Torque the top nuts to 37 foot-pounds using the deep socket and torque wrench.
Place the wheel back on the car. Thread the lug nuts on by hand. With the vehicle on the ground, I'm going to torque the lug nuts. Torquing these 140 foot-pounds. Going in a cross pattern. Reinstall the center cap. Line up this valve stem picture with the valve stem on the wheel. Just pushing it into place.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
What's up, guys? I'm Andy, from 1A Auto. Today, I'm going to show you how to replace the rear shock in this 2008 Chevy Silverado. If you need these parts or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.
One of the first things you want to do when you're doing the rear shocks on this vehicle—you're going to want to remove the spare tire. It's normally in this position. This vehicle—it doesn't have a spare tire—this support is broken. So, start by taking that off. We did raise the vehicle. You don't necessarily have to raise the vehicle when you're doing this job, but if you do and you support it by the frame, we are going to also want another support under the axle, because the rear shock is actually holding the axle up a little bit. So, when we take these bolts out, the axle will fall down a little bit. So, I'm just going to support this rear axle, right here. But like I said, you can do this on the ground. You can leave the tires on. Just get on a creeper.
I'm going to use a 21mm socket and a breaker bar, and a 21mm wrench to hold the nut. We'll loosen this up. Once that's loose, I can take the nut off. I'm not going to pull the bolt out yet.
And up top, I'm going to loosen this bolt up. You don't need a wrench on the inside, because the nut is welded to the frame. Loosen this up. Once that's loose, I'm just going to switch to a ratchet and we can loosen up this bolt. Once that's loose, you can pull this bolt out. And I can grab—that's loose up top. Grab the bolt underneath. Just slide the shock right out.
Here's our old part. Here's our new shock from 1aauto.com. It's a TRQ part. It's got an updated metal dust shield versus the old plastic style. The size of the actual shock is the same. It comes with the rubber grommets and everything is the same. Get yours at 1aauto.com and you'll be ready to rock and roll.
Alright. So, we'll take our new shock and I'll line it in up top, and line it in down below. Woops—can grab the bolt, slide it in down below first. Slide it in up top. You can do either, or whatever is easier. If you have to move the axle up a little bit, go up a little, or down a little.
Take my 21mm socket and ratchet. Start tightening the top one up first. Alright. That's good.
I'm going to put the nut on the lower bolt. Take the 21mm wrench and a socket and ratchet and I'll snug this up first. Now we're going to torque them both.
I'm going to use a torque wrench and a 21mm socket. I'm going to torque this to 85-foot pounds. That's good. Torque this top bolt.
Now, if you did not raise the vehicle and support the vehicle, and you did not have the axle have to go up and down—you just left it on the tires—you would need a pry bar to pry the shock to compress it a little bit and to get these bolts to line up. And the same—similar on the passenger side. The shock goes forward, in front of the axle, instead of behind the axle. But procedure is the same.

The new shocks were just as ordered, proper replacements for original. Got them in 3 days after order. The install had me wondering for a while if I wanted to tackle it, but the best thing was the "how to video" that explained it so well. The guy showed and explained it so well that the work went smoothly.

I would recommended buying parts for 1 A Auto. Ordered parts for two different vehicles. The parts were an exact fit. I ordered the strut assembly and shock kits for both vehicles. When I received the order I was missing the shocks for one of the vehicles. I made a quick phone call to them and the nice lady said no problem we will ship them out today. After the excellent customer service I will try and order all my parts from 1 A Auto in the future. Thanks again for the great parts and customer service.

Strut and Shock replacemenet
Pete
November 29, 2018
Parts came quickly and were ready to go. Watched the videos and went to work. Rear shocks, no problem. Front struts, no way. Watched the video over and over. There was on lower mount bolt that I could not remove due to the front axle shaft. I could not get the lower control arms to drop any further. Had to take to shop so they could dissemble upper and lower control arms. I did have a 1 inch leveling block installed a couple years ago so I suspect that was the culprit. All in great still saved money.
Great price, fast shipping

Installation was a breeze, I've only had them on truck for a couple of days but can tell a difference, truck has 120,000 miles and had original shocks so these made an instant improvement.
Great parts for the money!

These parts were easy to install. I want to specify that I do not have formal mechanical training. Everything I know has been self taught. That said, these parts came undamaged and there were no manufacturing defects from what I could see. They ride nicely and suit my purposes nicely. I live on back roads with HORRIBLE potholes and cannot afford to replace my suspension with name brand parts. These may not be name brand but they are holding up just fine after beating them up on these back roads for quite a while. I recommend them for all you Silverado owners who just dont want a hole in your wallet.

A top notch company with an awesome website. Also would definitely recommend going to YouTube to watch your how to videos. Thanks for being a GREAT company!!
It's nice to get the right parts easy to use

It was very easy to order and when the parts got here everything was exactly right my mechanic had no problem using this part I would recommend purchasing stuff from these guys
Great Price, Great Quality, Best Instructional Video

This was an amazing deal. Plus the video was installing this on a real truck and showed all the real issues that you would run into.
You can watch the video and pause it at each step to complete it yourself.
Took the truck to get the front end aligned after this install and the shop commented that it was one of the best self install shock and strut installs they have seen.
Better late than never.

My wife's brother worked on her car. She drives an 03 Sequoia . This struts base mount was cracked so he welded it, which burned out the rubber around bushing so on December 31st I ordered struts through 1A auto, 1st time I'd ordered through them. I waited, and do to the inclement weather it said my part was held up in Kansas well we researched it after 9 days of waiting. Customer service informed us that the part had never been shipped out. So we ordered a new part and it took less than 36 hours to get to me, thank goodness it did get to me when it did. I will add a picture of what my wife has been driving on a cracked out bushing housing when I took out the bottom bolt it just fell apart. By the grace of God she was able to make it this long on that strut without it coming apart. Thank you 1A auto for fixing the problem of the late rival but getting here when you did, thank you.

I purchased the shocks & springs for a 2007 silverado 1500, since they were installed, the front ends squeaks like crazy. Must have been a cheaply made product.

Bought for 2012 Silverado, after 1000 miles I'm replacing them with quality ones. You get what you pay for. They're cheap and feel like it. There's nothing wrong with them but be aware you are buying cheap suspension and they will feel like it

Parts were delivered within a week. I was able to completely change front and rear shock assemblys in under 2 and half hours. Everything fit as advertised. What a difference they made in the ride and handling! The instructional video gave me the confidence I needed to do it myself. Will definitely order from 1A in the future.
I like how affordable the products were and they were put into a package pricing that you can afford.

TRQ struts and shocks
A
January 17, 2020
1aauto is great, the shipping was fast but these TRQ parts are junk I ordered these Sept. Or Oct of 2018 and they are not worth buying, the ride is horrible and could not keep alignment and you just sway back and forth on good roads bad roads are even worse. Pulling a camper became really challenging not to mention the they bang around with ever small crack in road very noisy. I do not recommend TRQ parts to anyone, you will be wasting your money.
Awesome

This is really my to go place had a problem customer service answered riggt away. The whole problem was operator error when installing. They parts are exact fit and great prices for my 2010 Silverado. I did most my whole front end with they parts all I need now is lower control arms which was found bad when installing other parts. Thanks 1 A auto. My business is yours from now on...

Rear parts went in great. The front had some fitting issues with the lower strut mount had to remove the Uca on the passenger side just to install the strut. Other than that great parts
Work like they should.

I replaced the rear shocks and the struts. They went on just like they should. I have a 2 leveling kit on the front and I needed to unbolt the upper control arm balljoint when I reinstalled new struts. Other than that went on just like there video.

New Struts and Rear Shocks For My 2013 Chevy 1500 Silverado
Ronald
March 19, 2023
The front struts and rear shocks arrived in a timely manner but one of the boxes with the strut arrived damaged and a bolt and nut had fallen out of the box through a hole in the box from the damage in transit. I had to reuse an old bolt and nut to install the new strut. The new struts and rear shocks have given my old truck a new smooth ride that is very noticeable. At this point, I am very pleased with the performance of my new struts and rear shocks.

Yes, they are. When I bought them for my 08 sierra ext cab long box the three studs on the struts were not as wide as the originals so they would shift around slightly. Also a couple months after installing them the rear shocks had started to leak a little bit of fluid.
