How to remove and install rear shock absorbers on Kia Sorento?

Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts and raise the rear of the vehicle, supporting it securely on jackstands before removing the wheels. For 2009 and earlier models, support the rear axle with a floor jack near the shock absorber to be removed, then take out the lower mounting bolt followed by the upper mounting fastener to remove the shock absorber. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the mounting fasteners are tightened to the specified torque. For 2011 and later models, support the trailing arm with a floor jack under the coil spring area, then remove the upper mounting bolt from the shock absorber followed by the lower bolt to take out the shock absorber. Extend the new shock absorber as far as possible, and installation is again the reverse of removal, with fasteners tightened to the appropriate torque values.

Kia Sorento Shock Absorber

Kia Sorento Shock Absorber helps to keep the SUV stable by transforming the jolts of suspension into heat so the wheels are able to stay planted on the road over bumps. Over the years, the Sorento has relied on hydraulic twin-tube units as standard, where a piston forces the fluid through metering valves to tranquilize spring movement. So far, Kia has also made gas-charged versions available, which inject pressurized nitrogen to prevent fluid foaming and keep the damping uniform within each Shock Absorber. Drivers looking for sharper handling will like the monotube design found on select editions of the Sorento, and this design is home to a larger piston in a single cylinder with a floating gas chamber, offering quicker response, more powerful heat release, and firmer control than a comparable twin-tube Shock Absorber. Both styles combat the harsh ride symptoms for Kia families such as nose dive, body roll, and suspension bottoming, but the monotube Shock Absorber does a great job when the vehicle is pushed hard or heavily loaded. Regular inspection of mounts, bushings, and boots ensures that Kia ride quality is maintained and every single Sorento system that relies on a healthy Shock Absorber unit is protected.

If you're in search of top-notch, reasonably priced OEM Kia Sorento Shock Absorber, then you've found the perfect spot. Our website boasts an extensive inventory of Kia Sorento Shock Absorber, all priced at the market's premier price. Rest assured, every genuine part we offer comes with a warranty straight from the manufacturer.
