Need help to change shocks on 2000 Formula

**C6 Corvette** · 04-03-2009, 09:19 AM

Where can I find some simple instructions for shock replacement for my son. My back is fused in 4 places and my neck in 3 so wrenching is not possible anymore. I told him to dive in, he would figure it out, it really is simple! But, the shocks still have not been replaced and sit in a box. It's a 2000 Formula Firebird.

If I can find some simple instructions, with a few PICs, maybe he can do it then. KIDS TODAY ~~

Thanks,

JC

Just the rears or the front struts too?

check out LS1howto.com

There are write up's with pic's to both front and back shock/spring swaps.

the rears can be done easily at home. the fronts i would suggest getting professionally installed since it's a clusterf*ck of crap going on up there, and most people dont have all the tools necessary to do it themselves. by the time you would aquire all the parts and pay for them, you could have a professional do it in a fraction of the time/cost...

hahaha, just saw you live in O.P., KS. i grew up there. went to Blue Valley Northwest. lived roughly around 119th/Switzer/US-69 highway...
