How to Remove and Install a Rear Shock Absorber Assembly on Pontiac Grand Prix?

For the transversely mounted leaf spring, certain tools are required for the compression of the auxiliary damper and rear leaf spring which can be imported from the specialist tool marketers. Start by removing the wheel lug nuts, lifting the rear part of the car, placing jackstands properly and putting chocks close to the tires of the front part. Take off the wheel and tighten the auxiliary damper with the help of the correct tool. On models from 1991 to 1995 (except 1995 Chevrolet), the exhaust system should be removed if necessary, in cases where it is fitted with dual exhaust. Subsequently, extract the jack pad, and the retention plates from the rear transverse spring, then, ensure the usage of the rear leaf spring compression tool before keeping the rear leaf spring compressed but still in situ. I took the brake hose bracket loose and then pulled the brake caliper up and moved it out of the way; I used a marker to mark the relationship between the strut and knuckle and also draw around the knuckle nuts. Remove the stabilizer bar from the knuckle, place a jack under the knuckle and then remove the strut to body bolts. After that, using a brass, lead or plastic hammer drive out the strut-to-knuckle nuts, disconnect the strut from the knuckle, and take it out of the car. For coil over strut type suspensions on 1997 and later models and early Chevrolet models, follow a similar process: It involves loosening the wheel lug nuts, lifting as well as supporting the car and popping off the wheel. Place the knuckle on a jack stand, pop open the trunk lid and free the strut to body bolts, if fitted with a brake hose bracket, uncouple it andscribe the orientation between the strut and the knuckle. Remove the nut connecting the stabilizer bar link to the strut, unbolt the strut-to-body bracket and then drop the strut assembly out to allow no spring pressure on the knuckle. Loosen and take off the strut-to-knuckle nuts as well as knock off the bolts and then detach the strut from the knuckle and take it out with the coil spring fitted to it. If only the strut is being replaced, then the coil spring and upper strut components have to be transferred from the worn out assembly to the new one, although it is advised that the rear strut coil spring replacement is a job that requires special tools and is extremely difficult to accomplish with a do it yourself approach. Last, reinstall in the order that removal was done and recheck the alignment marks before clockwise tightening of the bolts to the required torque.

Pontiac Grand Prix Shock Absorber

The Shock Absorber is an important component used in the suspension system in the Pontiac Grand Prix vehicle and is principally involved with the mechanical function of counteracting shock impulses, with the express objective of improving the quality of the ride and its control. In essence, the Shock Absorber transforms the kinetic energy to heat thereby reducing the undesirable bouncing and vibrations while working hand in hand with 'springs' to ensure stability of the car over a bumpy surface. Different Shock Absorbers have been used in the Pontiac Grand Prix models for many years ranging from twin-tube, and the recent modern mono-tube Shock Absorbers. Twin-tube shocks are standard, and the easiest design to be gas pressed for better sturdiness. On the other hand, mono-tube shocks give better heat transfer and it can be installed in any direction. Other features include Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) as well as Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) for refining the driving experience and Electrorheological and Magnetorheological dampers for building adaptive suspension systems for improving the comfort and control in Pontiac Grand Prix automobiles.

Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix Shock Absorber we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
