In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the rear shocks on a Nissan titan. In this video I removed the rear wheels to gain access to the bolts that hold on the upper portion of the shock absorber. However you do not have to jack up the vehicle and remove the wheels in order to read this book I simply did it for a demonstration purposes. Will work from years 2004 through 2015 in the first generation Nissan Titan. I highly recommend using either KY however you do not have to jack up the vehicle and remove the wheels in order to read this book I simply did it for a demonstration purposes. Will work from years 2004 through 2015 in the first generation Nissan titan. I highly recommend using either KYB excel G shocks Or Bilstein 5100 series shocks. Both of which are in a link in the description below. I hope this video helps you out if it has please like and subscribe if you haven’t questions or comments feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you

Very good tutorial video! I'm getting ready to replace my rear shocks on my 2005 Texas Edition Tian Crew Cab with under 47K miles. As you can tell, I don't drive it often and wanted to sell it many times; however, a truck is so handy to have in those few occasions where you need to carry things. I'm the original owner, and it in good condition. I may sell or trade it in for a car for our daughter who is starting to drive.

I recommend you use lithium grease on the shafts of the bolts. It will help with squeaking.

That was a good video, I too like the KYB shocks and struts, I pay a little more for a great quality shock in KYB, they haven't let me down yet

do you have to buy certain shocks and struts if your truck is lifted?

One of my upper bolts was a MOTHER to get out! Heat, pb blaster, breaker bar, impact, I threw everything at it. I think it took me a good two hours to get that thing out!!

wow! im glad i didnt run into that. did you install without removing wheels?

@dateatorjr9671 5 жыл бұрын

It was pretty corroded. No I left the wheels on. No messing with a jack that way.

I had a similar issue on the front. Whatever Nissan uses as a thread lock was JB weld and red loc-tites illegitimate child.

Spray the PB blaster a couple days in advance to work its way in & much easier to loosen.

How would you rate the Bilsteins specifically compared to the stock Ranchos on a pro4x? Do they affect ride height at all? They seem to be very highly regarded in the reviews..

@AaronHinesAuto 5 жыл бұрын

I feel that the Bilsteins are A lot better shocked in the OEM ranches. They last longer and provide a smoother quality ride. I run Bilstein 5100s on my wife’s 2005 Xterra and they’re phenomenal

Another great crisp and to the point video Aaron, Thank you! Question: Will the bilstein 5100’s fit a non lifted Titan. Reading the description it notes they are for lifted trucks & SUV’s.
