WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the shock absorber.
  2. Install the shock absorber lower mounting bolt (4-door Utility models only).
    3. NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  3. Install the shock absorber upper mounting bolts. Tighten the shock absorber upper mounting bolts to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
  4. Install the shock absorber lower mounting nut. Tighten the shock absorber lower mounting nut to 84 N.m (62 lb ft) on 2-door Utility models. Tighten the shock absorber lower mounting nut to 100 N.m (74 lb ft) on 4-door Utility models.
  5. Connect automatic level control air line to shock absorber, if equipped.
