Replacing my rear shocks on my 98' Neer

Recommended Posts

So, as this is only my second car, and I haven't managed to roll this one yet, I've had enough time to start needing to maintain my truck lol. I'm about to order new rear shocks tomorrow since my rear left is the lowest point on the car, like two or three inches below the front left and rear right, and want to know if any of you guys here who are significantly more mechanically inclined than myself, can you recommend me any better than these for the price?

More than likely a spring problem. I don't know if that has coils or leaf springs on the rear. 

 

Shocks don't affect the ride height unless they are air shocks. 

 

What year is it?

Shocks are dampers.  Dampers are NOT meant to support anything.  There are exceptions and I know nothing of the rear end of Exploders, but I'd expect it to be springs.

 

Do you have something big and heavy on one side or does it just have the lean either way?

That year used leaf springs.

 

You need to have somebody that knows what they are looking at to see if you have a broken one.

she sits like that with no load. It changes a little day by day. Some days it's damn near level.

You have deeper suspension issues. Pictures of springs, shackles, and linkages will help us help you.

I'll just take a few of the problem corner from all angles.
