How to Properly Install a Shock Absorber on Dodge Caravan?

Hold the shock absorber against the frame rail and attach the upper mounting bolt to it. After that, connect the lower end of the shock absorber to the axle by fitting and securing the lower bolt. Afterward, take out the support jack and lower the vehicle to the ground, so that it rests on the suspension with its normal load. Make sure that both the upper and lower shock arm bolts are turned to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.) after they are in place.

How to Remove and Assemble a Shock Absorber Strut Assembly on Dodge Caravan?

The Strut assembly needs to come out of the vehicle to be worked on, so it should be removed using a strut spring compressor, Pentastar Service Equipment tool W-7200 or an equivalent. If you service both struts together, mark both the coil spring and strut assembly for easy identification afterward. Attach the strut so the clevis is facing the outside of the compressor and make certain that the hooks are in place on the upper seat and that a clamp is on the bottom end of the coil spring. You must compress the spring before loosening the strut shaft nut to prevent spring tension risks. After putting compression on the coil spring, you'll need Strut Nut Socket and a combination of 10 mm and Special Tool 6864 sockets to remove the nut from the strut shaft and take off the upper mount. For upper pivot bearing servicing, remove the bearing from the coil spring upper seat. Send the tension out of the coil spring, remove the spring seat and pull out the coil spring from the compressor. Remove the strut shaft cover and the jounce bumper in one unit and separate the peices. Check every piece of the strut assembly for signs of binding, cracks, bending, worn out parts and damage, then replace anything that needs it. Be sure the coil spring is placed properly and the upper seat's notch is facing forward as you put them on. Press down on the coil spring, add a pivot bearing if it was taken off and check that it rests level. Secure the spring isolator to the lower spring seat with the retaining tabs going into the holes. Fit the jounce bumper to the small end of the strut shaft and roll out the dust shield to cover it. BundleName up the strut into the coil spring until its lower spring seat touches the coil spring and ensure that the clevis bracket faces upward. Slide the strut mount onto the strut shaft and put the retaining nut in place, but don't tighten yet. Apply Strut Nut Socket to the retaining nut and turn it with a torque wrench to a tightness of 94 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Carefully release the compression to line up the upper mount, pivot bearing and seat, remove the clamp and remove the entire strut from the compressor before proceeding.

This component is quite crucial as part of the suspension system of Dodge Caravan especially aiming at regulating exaggerated bouncing and overall ride comfort. Through hydraulic means, the Shock Absorber transforms kinetic energy into heat and thereby reducing the effect of shock impulses on the vehicle and its occupants, besides improving its exemplary handling on different surfaces. Through the successive years Dodge Caravan models have incorporated a number of shock Absorbers among them being the twin tube and mono tube models. Twin-tube shocks are wide spread they are a relatively simple design that can be gas filled to enhance their toughness. On the other hand, mono tube shocks provide better heat surface and performance, it provides multi-axis installation. Other features include Position Sensitive Damping (PSD) which is designed for enhancing the vehicle stability in a precise manner and at the same time proving the development of Dodge Caravan's suspension system while Acceleration Sensitive Damping (ASD) works by simplifying the shocks under high accelerate rates.
