How do you remove the rear shock absorber on Chevrolet Malibu?

To remove the shock absorber, begin by blocking the front wheels and loosening the rear wheel lug nuts. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it on jackstands before removing the wheels. Next, remove the fasteners from the inner fender liner and move it out of the way to access the upper mounting bolts. Support the lower control arm and remove the shock absorber upper bolts.

How do you remove the front shock absorber on Chevrolet Malibu?

To remove the front strut, start by loosening the lug nuts on the front wheels and raising the vehicle securely on jackstands. Remove the wheels and detach the stabilizer bar link, ABS wheel speed sensor harness, and brake hose from the strut. Mark the relationship of the strut to the knuckle for proper installation. Remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts, separating the strut from the steering knuckle while supporting the lower control arm. Support the strut and spring assembly and remove the upper mounting nut or bolts. Inspect the strut body for damage and the coil spring and spring seat for any issues. If necessary, proceed to the strut disassembly procedure. To install the strut, guide the assembly into the fender well and tighten the nuts or bolts to the specified torque. Slide the steering knuckle into the strut flange, align the marks made earlier, and tighten the nuts. Install the wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts. Finally, have the front wheel alignment checked and adjusted if needed.

How to disassemble and reassemble a strut and coil spring assembly?

If the struts or coil springs show signs of wear such as leaking fluid, loss of damping capability, chipped, sagging, or cracked coil springs, it is important to explore all options before starting any work. To disassemble, the strut and spring assembly should be removed and the strut clevis bracket portion should be mounted in a vise. The damper shaft nut should be unscrewed while holding the shaft with an appropriate tool. The bearing in the spring seat should also be checked for smooth operation. The dust boot and rubber bump stop should be slid off the damper shaft and inspected for deterioration. The compressed spring should be carefully lifted and set aside. To reassemble, the damper rod should be extended and the rubber bump stop and dust boot should be installed. The compressed coil spring should be placed onto the lower seat of the damper, with the end of the spring resting against the raised stop. The upper insulator and spring seat should be installed, followed by the upper mount and mounting nut, which should be tightened to the proper torque specifications.

The Shock Absorber of Chevrolet Malibu vehicle also has the responsibility of the suspension, functioning in harmony with the struts. These components assist to reduce hopping and also dampen shock impact forces with the aid of transforming kinetic energy to heat energy. In the years, these shock absorbers have been modified to have one basic design; twin-tube and mono-tube type shocks that have different ways in fluid controlling mechanism in order to meet different types of road condition. A cross-section of shock absorber types has been used in Chevrolet Malibu vehicles including the basic gas charged twin tube shock absorber, PSD and ASD shock absorbers to mention but a few.
