Rear Shock Absorber Replacement

Model: RAM 1500 BR, BE, MK 2 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Shocks

Replacing the rear shock absorber is a very simple task and does not require special tools (such as spring compressors).
Once you lift the vehicle on a lift, simply remove the bolts that secure the shock absorber to the frame and the rear axle; at this point, remove the old shock absorber and insert the new one, aligning the bushings and tightening the mounting bolts properly. For better stability, it is recommended to replace both shock absorbers, choosing a quality product, even if refurbished.

When replacing the front headlight bulbs, choosing the right bulbs is certainly the first hurdle to overcome: halogen, blue white light, xenon, or LED. Once you have made your choice, installing the new bulb can be done without removing the headlight. Simply open the front bonnet, locate the protective cap of the bulb holder, and press on the corresponding latch to remove it. Then grasp the bulb's power connector and pull it out along with the bulb itself, disconnect the connector, fit the new bulb, and press it into its seat until it clicks into place.
