thanks for the nice clear video and instructions! is it dangerous to
loosen that strut bolt w/out compressing the spring? in the past i’ve
always compressed it just enough that they put some force on the bottom to
keep it from spinning out.

manosa671 says:

thank you for your vids. they are very helpfull but can i ask where do you
buy your shocks or parts from for your civic?

newyota1 says:

I snapped off head on that lower bolt how do I get the bolt out?

Tony Allen says:

thanks for the video bro this is going to help me out a lot . since
everyone i spoke with wants $200 and up to install my new shocks .. keep up
the good work 

Alex Plowski says:

random question, i had a 1998 hatchback, i bought new rear shocks but never
replaced them, i now have an 06 civic ex coupe, are the shocks the same?

Jesse Roussell says:

bad ass. I really don’t know why someone would click, ‘dislike’ on this
video….

NutzAboutBolts says:

As long as its not seized, its realistic to other people, or else it
wouldn’t have worked for me. Make sure its not seized and that will solved
your problem, or else you’ll have to get it cut or a different option.

Life saver

tassojtaylor says:

thank you!! this will help greatly soon. I’m getting a 96 coupe and have to
change the shocks.

matrix122187 says:

Thanks for uploading this video, your other one helped me replace my front
shocks. I ran into a problem with my rear shocks in that the bolt that runs
through the bottom of the shock and the arm will not come free. I’ve used
penetrating oil and PB blaster but its still stuck. How should i go about
freeing this bolt?

NutzAboutBolts says:

Yes. Anytime you change your shocks and springs, you want to get an
alignment since changes your suspension caster, camber and toe and it will
cause tire wear.

aristas30002000 says:

thanks for the videos guys do you have any video for the same thing but a
2006 honda civic rear struts?

heriberto silva says:

I’m planning to change all 4 spring and struts on a 1994 civic, which do I
do first? And if I do the rear ones first do I have to do the alignment ?
Or only for the front ones?

NutzAboutBolts says:

Do it right the, don’t force anything in if it doesn’t fit or else things
get broken. Just follow the video again and you should be fine. Redo your
shocks. The rear shocks are easy to install.

milagro33 says:

Just making sure. You said only need an alignment if you have tire wear
correct? I have no tire wear.

NutzAboutBolts says:

As of right now no, sorry.

NutzAboutBolts says:

they have better handling on corners than the stock suspensions, and less
bouncy.

La Fue says:

penetrating spray doesn’t do squat to suspension bolts that are seized to
the collars of the bushings. Map gas and impact wrenches will also fail.
This video is nice and all, but it’s unrealistic for a lot of people who
will have to cut almost every LCA bolt.

NutzAboutBolts says:

replacing the bushing is cheaper than replacing the whole lower control
arm. Try pushing the bushings out and take it to the dealer to get it
replace. If its stuck on there, then replace the lower control arm or lower
arm. Hope that helps.

NutzAboutBolts says:

ouch, get it replaced asap! 🙂

Zhao Yun says:

oh okay thank you for the reply and the kick ass vid 🙂

kevin limparis says:

how come everyone else’s bolts just come right out? mine are always
frozen… just broke my lower control arm to trailing arm bolt when I was
trying to do my RTAB.. btw if anyone is doing the rear trailing arm
bushings, spend the 150 bucks on the tool, It will save you a week on parts
and if you cant drill out bolts then you need this tool lol.

you fucking mother fucker 4:05 mama thai ramen noodle noodles! I eat those
everyday!

jizzm0nkey says:

Nice video, thanks

NutzAboutBolts says:

If you work on any suspension work, I would recommend you to do an
alignment afterwards. But first drive your vehicle after the suspension
work and see if it drift to one side or not, if it doesn’t, don’t worry
about it. If it does, get it aligned.

NutzAboutBolts says:

no problem! glad we could help.

NutzAboutBolts says:

very nice, we got plenty of the Honda Civic video on our YouTube channel,
so that should help with some of your maintenance needs.

Tcho2100 says:

Thx man,so how long hav u put them on for? Im mean they still work perfect
on the car? No noise?

NutzAboutBolts says:

You can do everything by hand, I just use the gun since its much faster. If
you come across a nut that’s hard to take out, use a breaker bar.
