Hi, I'm Don 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 1996 Chevy Tahoe. If you replace one of them, we do recommend that you replace both of them. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver's side shock is the same procedure. It's the same part and process for the Tahoes from '95 to 2000. The items you need for this are new rear shocks from 1AAuto.com, 14mm and 21mm socket and ratchet with extension, 21mm wrench, a torque wrench, and jack and jack stands.
You want to start off by removing this 21mm bolt and then you're going to remove these two 14mm bolts. Using a 21mm socket and ratchet and a 21mm wrench, you just want to remove that nut. Once the nut's removed, use the socket and ratchet on the other side and just start twisting out the bolt. Now, use a 14mm socket and ratchet with an extension to remove those two upper bolts and we'll just fast forward as Don does this. Once those are removed, the shock will pull down.
Up front is the old shock, in the back is the new shock from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they will fit the same. You will have to just apply some pressure to shrink the new shock. Feed your new shock up into place with a bolt and a 14mm socket and then just tighten it into place. Really, you only need to tighten it preliminarily and then you should start the other bolt. Once you have both bolts started, just got back and forth tightening them up until it's nice and firm. Now, push the shock in and then forward and then line it up and push the bolt through. Then, just replace the nut and washer on the other end and tighten that up with your socket and ratchet and the 21mm wrench. Torque this lower bolt to 75-80 foot pounds and you're all set.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Did not come with the right bushings to fit the truck, had to use some stock parts from my truck. I would invest in Monroe than buy these. The shocks are ok if youre in a strict budget.

seamless, on-time, quality, perfect fit...your competitors offer too many options as to confuse...I do not mind paying up on a higher quality item, but I want to be assured that it "will" fit. I just want the closest OEM product available...

Great service follow up when I ordered the wrong part number for full set of shocks. My fault(not paying attention to vin #). Very calm and understanding service lady walked me through return procedure. Long story short right set delivered in less than 7 days/repacked wrong shocks in box and was given a credit to boot since the price was less. Win/Win for everybody. Great service/great products now and in the past.

front shocks are cheesy made and not long enough. rubber bumpers too small . i haven't tried installing the rears yet but i don't have high hopes of them being any better. i'll probably end up tossing these and going back to monroes. i guess you get what you pay for.

These shocks and struts were placed on a 1999 Chevy Express 3800 van about 2 months ago. They were an almost exact match to the stock shocks and struts. They were easy to install. My van does not drive like a Cadillac now, but it does not bounce on the freeway anymore and handles much better. Great deal!

Is c/k 1500 same as c 1500 ?August 9, 2021
John D
10
Yeah, the C is for the Chevy trucks and the K is for GMC trucks in that particular generation. I would not recommend these parts. They are sub-par at best, they dont come with the same bushings in the kits so youll end up having to use some stock parts to help with the truck.

C would imply the vehicle is two wheel drive and K is for vehicles with four wheel drive.
