I replaced shocks on 1990 Corvette a few weeks ago
I replaced the shocks on my 1990 Corvette a few weeks ago. I had never replaced shocks before. I just made note of how the old shock was installed before I took it off. The KYB shocks came with directions, but they weren't very helpful.
It was a learning experience for me. I used a floor jack and put the frame for that particular side of the car on a large block. Once I took the old shock off, the distance between the two mounts on the car changed immediately, which meant the new shock was not the right length. So, I had to put the floor jack beneath that portion of the car to raise it up to make it fit the new shock. Once I got the first shock installed, the other four were quite simple. -- Eric
