How To Replace Rear Shock Absorbers 2002-09 Chevy Trailblazer
Created on:
Tools used
Socket Extensions
18mm Wrench
Jack Stands
18mm Socket
Ratchet
Floor Jack
1/2 Inch Breaker Bar
1. Remove the shock absorber
It is recommended to raise and secure the vehicle, but it is possible to do this with the vehicle on the ground.
Remove the 18 mm bolts at each of the strut by securing one end of the bolt with the wrench and use the socket and ratchet to remove the bolt from the nut.
2. install the new shock
Insert the shock into its mount and thread the bolt though.
Repeat with the bottom end of the strut.
Tighten the nut and bolts with your socket and ratchet and wrench
Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts, and the best service on the Internet. In this video, we're going to show you rear shock removal and replacement on this 2004 Trail Blazer, same as most of these mid-size SUVs. Tools you'll need are 18 mm socket with a ratchet and extension, and also an 18 mm wrench, and you probably would want jack and jack stands to raise and support the vehicle, but not totally necessary.
So to replace your rear shocks, as you can see I still have the tire on the truck, and you could actually do this on the ground, although it will cause a little clearance issue as you try and remove this lower bolt. But it's possible, you can do it on the ground. So there's that lower bolt, and there's a bolt up high right there. And if you are jacking your vehicle up, you can see my lift is under the frame. And then I have a bottle jack right here that's supporting the axle. You just want to give a little support of the axle so it doesn't drop down when you release the shock. What you probably want to do is take a couple extensions, that way you can work right outside your tire. And it'll come right apart, as you can see.
This is an 18mm again, and you might need two wrenches. One for here, and one to hold. But little trick... if all you have is wrenches, hook another wrench onto the end of that one, and that gives you some extra leverage. And like I said, on the ground this is going to be somewhat more difficult. Now I'm going to cheat 'cause I've got 18mm deep socket and an impact wrench. Comes right out. Back up top here. So that's how your shock comes out. Again, the shocks on this vehicle are fine. Just showing you how to do it. So to reinstall it, you want to put the top back up in. Put this top bolt in first. Now the bottom. Put that back in. Start that nut on. A good rule of thumb for these is get it about as tight as you can get it with a ratchet like that. And up to the top here. Again, just got my ratchet on here. That's tight as I can get it with the ratchet.
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.

Everything went to together without a hitch. Once the airbags were removed the springs and pads went right in. No straining what so ever. Took less than an hour on a lift.

The hardest part was removing the old air bag. I used a strap wrench to twist it off--one can get it from a plumbing supplier. The video was most helpful. I purchased the parts from IAAuto because they made the effort to make the video. My only criticism is the shipping was slow, but the price and fit were exceptional. I have extra vehicles, so I did not need to have the parts the next day.
Very satisfied

My air pump was weak and I had a leaking air bladder on my trailblazer ss. Saw the coil spring replacement on 1a auto. Called them to make sure it would work on my vehicle. After the rep spoke to a technical advisor I ordered it. It worked perfectly. No problems at all. And the price was less than I thought. Thanks a lot

Great order experience online at A-1 Auto. Parts arrive quickly...as promised. Thumbs up! The price was comparable, if not cheaper, than most online stores. Installed the new parts with no issues.
Noticed the new rear Springs weren't level with the front of the vehicle. After further review on other websites/forums, I found that people are using Springs from a 1/2 Ton Suv, or pick up...Tahoe, Yukon, Silverado, Sierra.
There are spacers you can order to achieve the 1- 2 inches of lift. Before you order, make sure you research other websites/forums. 1-A Auto has a website with tutorials on "how to" on pretty much any auto repair...thanks for doing that 1-A Auto!
Easy swap and so much cheaper than replacing the air bags

January 8, 2019
Works great easy install and best part is how cheap it is compared to replacing the air suspension. Remember all you need to do is disconnect the ride height sensors on both rear wheels that way the compressor doesn't keep running and you don't have to remove it. Another side benefit to this is the compressor can still be used to fill your tires with the trunk air hose which is a slick feature.
Went in like a charm.

Very satisfied with this part. No more wet diaper on the envoy. Car sits nice. Had the removal and instal all done in about 11/2 hours. And the local shop wanted to charge me 4 hrs labor. Its a chain ripoff place but still.

The parts I ordered on Thurs.. were shipped the next day and arrived on a Monday. I had the air bag suspension and shocks removed. It took me about 45 min to install the new coils and shocks. The Saab Suv now looks normal and rides great.
Thanks Dale

ordered my air shock conversion kit and received it in a few days, watched their video on how to install and everything went smooth. the ride is a little bit stiffer but well worth not waiting or wondering if my rear end will air up.

I put this off for almost 3 years before finally deciding I was switching over to coil from air. The job took about 3 hours total including clean-up. 1A didn't have The exact tutorial video I needed but found enough info from Strutmasters and them combined to do it myself. Had I known it was going to be this simple I wouldn't have left it sitting the last 2 years.
Great product

Ive purchased auto parts online for years. Staying pretty much with one company. That company recently became a different company and I immediately noticed a huge difference in customer service. I needed an air bag to coil spring conversion kit for my 2006 Buick Rainier. I decided to look for a different company for my auto parts needs and came across 1aauto.com. They had exactly what I was looking for at an unbelievable price. Still shocked about that! The parts arrived very quickly and were packaged securely. No extra parts or modifications were needed, it was bolt and go. Everything fit perfectly. 1aauto.com kept me appraised of every aspect of my order. Even though it was a form email, the company CEO even reached out to thank me for doing business with them. I have more work to do on this vehicle and will definitely be buying from 1aauto.com! To 1aauto.com I say thank you!
Perfect fit, easy install

August 6, 2022
Perfect fit! From start to finish about 2 1/2 hours, thats including jacking it up lowering on safety jacks, removing both rear tires and spare tire to allow for more room. All that was needed was an 18mm wrench and socket for the shocks and used an adjustable oil filter strap to rotate the air bags about a 1/4 turn counterclockwise until they released from the top. You dont have to worry about trying to get a wrench behind the top shock bolt, the nut is welded in place. I did remove the #1 30 fuse in the fuse box that gives power to the compressor after I was done. No more sagging! Should have done this 3 years ago.
Happy New Customer!

I couldn't believe how easy it was! From ordering the correct part, to the on-time delivery, to the perfect fit and easy installation!!
It rides as well as it did with the "airbags" and so glad to get those "designed to fail!" things out of there!!
I know this will be for another review, but I also ordered wheel bearing/hubs for my '01 Sierra, and again the ordering was easy, they got here ahead of time, and an easy exact fit!! THANX!!

The hardest part of the conversion install was removing my old beat to shite airbags. There is also a little trickery you need to do with a jack to raise and lower axle to align holes for shocks. Also a little balancing for the springs while you lower and lock them in. Take your time, watch the videos, not hard. Need some jack stands and a good jack. I would rate myself a 4 out of 10 with car stuff, brakes oil change, tune-ups etc.

All you have to do is jack your truck up and put jack stands on the frame to allow the axle to drop down freely use your Jack under The rear differential then unbolt your airbags put the springs in place of airbags once that is done take your socks off and install new shocks . If you need more room to install springs undo one side with the shock so the actual can travel lower than install spring use jack to jack up Axel and install shock .
If you need more information feel free to give me a shout .
Thanks and good luck

If the vehicle is equipped with airbags the rear end will have air shocks as well as a compressor. If you are still unsure you can contact the dealership with your VIN and they would be able to confirm for you. Thank you.
