SOURCE: rear air shocks 2003 Buick LeSabre

I'd have them checked first to determine if it is actually the shocks, or possibly just a loose or cracked line, which should be a pretty inexpensive fix. If it turns out to be shocks, weigh it out then.

SOURCE: blower motor won't run on 2005 buick lesabre

There are two fuses on that circuit I believe. There is one labeled HVAC CTRL and HVAC HI, both should be located in the fuse block inside the car. Check both of those and make sure they are good.

As well, there is also a blower motor resistor that is located in the blower motor housing. Its very common for these to go bad and can cause issues with the motor not operating as well.

SOURCE: rear shock replacement on 2002 lesabre with elec. levelers

The rear shocks are eather standard gas shocks, or air shocks. If you have and air system to control the shocks then you would just have to unbolt them and disconnect the air line. Install them just as you took them off. If its just reagular shocks then you would have to remove 2 bolts.


Some cases there are 4 wheel struts, then you would have to unbolt them from the fender wells in the trunk.

Not to bad of a job but it can take a few.

SOURCE: 2000 Buick Lesabre custom liscense plate bulb

kind of tricky, took me an hour to get it figured out, but you got to opend the trunk and take out the 10 or so 10mm nuts sticking out of the backside of the lid, then the whole solid piece where the lights are on the back will slide off, then you can change the bulbs above the license plate and put it all back together

How to replace rear shock absorbers for 2005 Buick Lasabre Custom

You can access the top of the shock in the trunk, under the carpet up on the wheel well. Remove 2 bolts and a bracket comes off. The bottom of the shock is held on by 2 bolts that go through clips instead of nuts. Oil these and remove. You will need to transfer the top mounting bushing assembly to the new shock before installing. See link to youtube video for more details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMLfgsqOHA4

How much to put on rear shocks on 2005 buick lesabre

Depends on where you are and where you are taking your vehicle. There is not much to changing them if you have the wrenches. It is quite straight forward. Go to an Auto Parts Store of your liking and ask how much for the shocks and what you have to do to replace them. They will give you a price and then call repair shops. The difference in the cost of the shocks and the replacement cost will be the labor they charge for the work. If you want to save the cost of the labor then see if you can do it yourself. You might be able to buy yourself a hydraulic jack with the money you save and have it for other repairs later.

Does a 2001 buick lesabre have shocks ? if so how much does it cost to replace?

Ok first of all your car has shocks in the rear and they are not very hard to replace or terribly expensive. The front has what they call struts which in effect are shocks with a springs wrapped around them as an assembly. Replacing struts can be expensive and will probably need to be changed by a shop if you are not equipped to do it yourself. You will most likely need to get the wheels aligned as well. I recommend calling around to different shops for a price. My guess for new front struts installed plus the alignment is $300-$400.

I am not getting any shock action on the rear of my 2000 Lesabre. The rear of the car gets unstable when hitting bumps; like driving a hardtail. The problem came on suddenly after not driving it for about...

Your Buick LeSabre may have air shocks on the rear. Check the shocks for leakage or stains from previous leaking. If the shocks are leaking you'll need to replace the set. Don't replace only one shock-replace them both.

How do I replace rear air shocks on 2001 buick lesabre?

Take skirting down in trunk on the side you are working on. Remove center nut on shock 15MM. Then jack that side up or whole rear of car and place jack stand or jack under control arm. Now you can remove the two 10MM bolts that fasten the bottom of the shock to the control arm, most of the time the speed nuts brake but you can hold on to them with a pair of pliers. Once this is done remove the shock place all hardware on shock and install. The new shock will come with an 18MM center nut. Hope this helps.
