Re: E350 Shock Replacement

The factory units are very good. Typically last for 8 years, and are very competatively priced.

The front shocks are not too bad, a wrench on the top nut and vice-grip on the piston should do it nicely. The rear is more of a challenge, the top nuts can be a real pain to reach, just get your self situated comfortabally and turn them off.

I also suggest soaking them with oil a few days in advance to ease removal. This assumes you don't live in the salt belt. If you do, I'd advise you to have them done, as they will likely have to be torched off.
