Review on 🚗 Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with ACDelco Specialty 519-21 Rear Spring Assisted Shock Absorber by Steve Brethorst

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice improvement on the rear of my S10 '97

Nice improvement on the rear of my S10 '97. It took me 90 minutes. Do-it-yourself, an hour on the muffler side due to the tight fit around the top bolts and 30 minutes on the driver's side. It was easier to use my 3/8 drive on the top screws. They only attract up to 22bls. I used a 1/2 air wrench on the bottom bolt that tightens to 64B on my truck. I don't have a spring compressor so I used a jack to jack the bottom of the shock up to the bottom bolt and a hammer to hammer it in. This raises the truck slightly and keeps the tires on the ground over potholes. We have lots of them.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some difficulties
