How to Effectively Remove and Replace a Rear Shock Absorber on Dodge Avenger?

Start by moving the rear seat base aside and the luggage compartment carpet to see the top nuts built into the shock absorber. After that, take out the two nuts that hold the shock in place on the body bracket. Pick up and hold the vehicle before removing the nuts securing the wheel and the rear wheel-tire assembly. Remove the lower shock mounting nut and bolt after that. After all of this, lift the shock assembly down from the body bracket and move it over the rear suspension.

How to Install a Shock Absorber on the Rear on Dodge Avenger?

First, make sure the side with the angular form on the upper mounting bracket points toward the outside of the car and then install the shock absorber. Get the bottom part of the shock down through the lower control arm so you can lift it into the body bracket. At this point, bolt the shock assembly to the lower control arm with both the bolt and the nut, without tightening either yet. After that, set the wheel and tire onto the hub and tighten the nuts on the wheel mounting flange to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Set the vehicle to the ground and tighten both nuts on the shock assembly to the body bracket by hand to a torque of 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.). Move the plug for the luggage compartment carpet as you need. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack or drive-on lift, raise it, tighten the shock mounting bolt and nut and then secure the lower bolt nut to 99 Nm (73 ft. lbs.).

The Shock Absorber featured in Dodge Avenger car models is part of the suspension system that is aimed at reducing harsh bouncing and giving a smooth ride. In this way, the kinetic movement is transformed into heat through hydraulic means while, at the same time, the Shock Absorber increases its ability to interfere with shock impulses thereby providing better handling on most terrains. Shock Absorbers used in Dodge Avenger models vary with twin-tube and mono-tube types being used successively. A Twin-tube shock is typical and its design is rather basic and the shock can, if needed, be gas filled for greater longevity. Conversely, mono-tube shocks provide enhanced heat management and performance more than the twin-tube, for multi-angular mountings. Other features that add versatility to Shock Absorber are the Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) and Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) that provide optimal damping of road inputs to offer the finest dynamic control in the Dodge Avenger.
