How-to video to replace the original shocks on a 2000 Ford F250.
After a lot of research online we decided to go with the KYB MonoMax Gas Shocks. Follow along as we find all the tips and tricks to make removing and replacing your shocks go easy.
When to Check Your Shocks
When you hit the 50,000-mile mark on your car’s odometer, it’s a good idea to check your shocks to make sure they’re still operating properly. A car that has been driven well will have undergone some wear and tear over time, which can affect the way it rides in various ways. A common problem is if they start leaking fluid. If this happens, your suspension will begin to sag more than normal, putting extra stress on your tires and potentially causing them to wear unevenly or wear out prematurely. This is a very common issue with older vehicles, especially those that are driven regularly but not in an environment that puts great strain on their suspension. While it’s unlikely that you’ll experience this issue with your car if you take good care of it, it never hurts to be on the lookout for signs that something is wrong.
Shocks do not require a lot of maintenance, but they do need to be inspected from time to time. If you notice that your car or truck sits lower than usual, it could be a sign that the shocks are failing. Another sign that your shocks might be failing is a rough ride. Shock absorbers help smooth out the ride of your car or truck, and if they are failing, you will notice a much rougher ride. Most shocks can be replaced by a do-it-yourselfer, but you should make sure you have the right equipment before attempting this project.
