  • 90 Series Shocker Replacement. Easy DIY or not?

    Hi All,

    First time poster, so please don't hesitate to let me know if i have broken any rules and/or if i've done something wrong.
    I have only ever read forums, and am excited to finally be posting something.

    So, we've just bought the wife (AKA, Minister Of Finance), a 1997 VX Grande Prado.
    After much discussion and looking at many different vehicles, we finally found a keeper, and we couldn't be happier .

    The only issue we have come across is we have noticed that the shockers are most certainly due for replacement.
    Which brings me to my question. Has anyone replaced their shockers themselves? Is it an easy DIY job or not?
    Please keep in mind, i am handy when i know what i'm doing, whether it be discussions with others, or online videos (If i end up doing this myself, i will most likely make one).
    However i cant seem to find a specific video on someone replacing shockers on the same model Prado.
    I have a mate which have a car hoist which is available to me, but i thought i would ask on here first.

    Thanks in advance, and i look forward to any replies.

    Cheers

    its not a hard job, helps if your mechanically minded , much easier if the front shocks are fitted into the struts in a spring compressing press, but otherwise not to bad

      The rear shock top nut is a pain to get to unless you have a body lift. The easiest way to do it is to get an offset spanner on to the top nut from underneath the car and hold the spanner or let it spin till it hits something and then get a helper to spin the top section of the shock. I think its even harder on the Grande models due to extra piping around the rear left shock.
