Hi,

I have a KZJ90 ( 1997  Colorado  3 door )

One off my rear shock absorber snapped the top bar ( where the top nut was )

I want to replace it and have a pair of shock absorbers from Milners. But I do not have any manuals and know that the bottom nut should be Torqued.
I cannot find any reliable Torque number for it.

Does any one know what it should be.


I have never done this before and will be doing it by myself. So any other helpful advice welcome.

Many thanks

Mark.

Hi
When I changed mine I had a load of trouble undoing that top nut.  So I cut the shocks off.

You will find screwing that nut difficult to get to. So just tighten it up, but don't murder it, that should do the trick.

Good luck

Paul
