Brought to you by 1Aauto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear shock on this 2007 Pontiac G6. Pretty much the same for any 2005 to 2010 G6, as well as the Saturn Aura. We'll show you the right hand, or passenger side. The driver's side is the same procedure, and we always recommend you replace your shocks in pairs. The only thing you'll need, you will need a jack and jack stands. You will need 13, 19, and 21mm sockets, also as well as a ratchet, an extension, and probably a breaker bar or a pipe for some extra leverage.
Take it, and depending on what wheels you have, this has wheel covers, so you unscrew the caps, and then the wheel cover comes off. If you don't have the benefit of air tools, you'll want to loosen the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground, then raise and secure the vehicle, and then remove the lug nuts, wheel, and tire. Two 13mm nuts hold the shock at the top. We'll fast-forward here as we remove those two 13mm nuts. A 21mm bolt holds the shock at the bottom. We'll use a 21mm ratchet. We'll put a pipe on there for some extra leverage. It made it come off really easy. He probably can get it off easily enough with just the ratchet.
Our car is new enough that this shock is not worn out at all, so we're just going to reinstall the original one. We just wanted to show you this video, just so you know how to do it. The shocks we sell at 1A Auto are great replacements. You can see, you put the shock back in place, and then start those two nuts on the top. I will fast-forward, as we finish putting those nuts on. I then start the bolt at the bottom, and tighten it up. The bottom bolt, you want to tighten to probably about 45 to 50 foot-pounds, and the top bolts, you want to tighten up afterwards, between 20 and 25 foot-pounds. Keep the speed up here, as we put our wheel and tire back on, and just start the lug nuts on there by hand first, then tighten them preliminarily. With the car back down on the ground now, we'll tighten the lug nuts to 100 foot-pounds, using a star pattern.
Last but not least, put our wheel cover on there, and then put the caps on carefully, only using hand power to tighten those caps up.
