Chevrolet Metro Shock Absorber Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you replace the rear strut on a Chevrolet Metro?A: To replace the rear strut on a vehicle, start by raising and securely supporting the rear of the vehicle. Then, place a jack under the rear Control Arm. Next, remove the nuts retaining the upper part of the strut to the strut tower. Compress the strut and remove the pinch bolt from the knuckle. Detach the strut from the knuckle by pulling up on the lower portion of the strut. If necessary, use a chisel to spread open the slit of the knuckle. During strut removal, be cautious not to lower the jack more than necessary to prevent the coil spring from coming out or damaging the brake hose. To install the new strut, follow the reverse steps of removal and ensure that the strut locating tab aligns properly with the rear knuckle.
- Q: How do you replace the front strut assembly?A: To replace the front strut assembly, start by raising the front of the vehicle so that the front suspension hangs freely. Then, remove the front wheels and the clip retaining the brake line to the strut bracket using needle nose pliers. Next, remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts, as well as the nuts retaining the strut to the strut tower from under the hood. Carefully remove the strut assembly, being mindful of not damaging the outer CV joint boot or overextending the inner CV joint. Inspect the strut body for any leaking fluid, dents, cracks, or other damage that may require repair or replacement. Additionally, check the coil spring for chips and cracks in the coating, as this can lead to premature spring failure. Finally, inspect the spring seat for any damage, hardness, or general deterioration. To complete the installation, reverse the removal process.
