Hi Gang,

My wife's car needs the rear shocks replaced (according to the stealership); I don't see any sign of leakage, but they told her they need to be replaced. They gave her a cost of $175 + 1.5 hours of work, that is per shock. So total around around $650+Tax (Canadian).

I have done some major work on my old 2000 Cherokee sport, and I get that the outlander is not quite as simple to work on (access, ease of removal, etc).

I found these on Amazon (first search): which are a fit for her 2011 Outlander, however it's not clear to me if there is a need to purchase anything additional to them (like any kind of bushings, accessories, bolts, etc... that will be required when changing these out).
>Hoping to get your advice on that.

I have not been able to find any writeups on the replacement process. (removed link to wrong video)

Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

 

Kyb are oem shocks

 

Bump, *anyone*?

It looks like the video above that I found is not the same as on the Outlander (edited post). I just changed the tires to summer one yesterday and noticed that the strut is not inside the coil spring, it's a separate assembly, so replacing it may be easier than replacing one where it's inside the spring.

Anyone have a write up on this, or a guide, video link etc?

Thanks

 

Buy them here. Never failed me.
