the new strut has more spring revolution?
this video is only good when rust and seized bolts do not exist,, if you
come across lower seized pinch bolt ,, you are screwed!, apply as much heat
as you want,,, ain,t gonna help, the bushing will cook
I have a problem, the bottom bolt, stuck on like hell. I hit it with PB
blaster, air tools, hammering, you name it. Really stuck on. Any tips to
break it free?
HI…Nice Job… Could you please make a video of the front shocks and
struts??!! I really appreciate it… I have a 2002 Honda civic lx sedan…
I’d like to change those strut kits??!! I mean the whole kit??!! Where can
I buy them??!! Thanks…
It sounds like your last resort before turning to a cutoff wheel might be
to use a torch to try to heat up the nut-side of the bolt (The side that is
welded to the bracket). You have to do this very carefully though, you do
NOT want to allow the strut to get too hot.
Hi… How about the Sedan…??!! Is that going to be the same steps…???!!
Thanks…
Good video on the job. I have given a thumb. This is good that now a days
you are releasing videos quickly. one or two a week is good enough. As
before there was a 5 months gap one time. Regards,
1:45 is how I look every time I work on my car.
Hi, We have a video on the front strut assemblies on a Honda CR-V, The
procedure is actually almost identical to the struts on your car. Check out
that video. We have the struts available for your car on our website or you
can always give us a call and we can help you find the right ones for your
car. Thanks!
Invest in an air ratchet!!
The procedure to replace each side is the same,, but each strut is slightly
different from the other side, they each have different part numbers.
We opted to go with the entire strut assembly because it’s faster and
easier, but replacing just the bare strut is certainly possible. You would
just need some additional tools including a coil-spring compressor.
Good video Bro!
on a 2004 civic, do you have to rent a spring compressor? I didn’t see you
use one in the video.
Great video. We followed the exact same steps but one of the lower bolts
will not come off to release the strut. My question is, if I can’t remove
the strut, can I simply replace the lower control arm with the strut still
attached to it? Obviously, I would remove the top two nuts on the strut.
Another question I have… I called a local reseller to see if I can simply
purchase another lower control arm but they have no listing for it. Is that
what it actually is called?
The basic guidelines can be followed for the 2000 model too. There will be
small differences, but it should be mostly the same. As long as you
understand all the steps in this video, you will be able to do it just
fine.
The screw on the very top of the strut broke. How can I remove the spring
now?
I have exact same car, can you please tell me if there is any difference
between the left side strut and the right side strut?
Hello. How do you know if you need a strut. I had a bulge in the center of
the tire and the shop said the struts are bad. Thanks.
God you guys just don’t know how lucky you are look how clean that car is
for a 2001 , in Scotland that would now be mostly a rust bucket, must be a
pleasure to work on your cars.
The great thing about the quick strut assemblies is that the coil spring is
already installed on the strut assembly, so no coil spring compressor is
needed. The only time you need to compress the spring is if you are
replacing just the bare strut (Not the whole assembly).
my rear struts are still ok, its my front ones that are blow after hitting
a frost heave at highway speeds, I think I will just rebuild the inner
shock and keep the spring
I really appreciate your responding… I’ll check it out and let you know
if I got further problems… Thanks
For having 150k miles the under body of it is almost in mint condition.
For this car, did the whole strut assembly need to be replaced, or could
you have only replaced just the bare strut? I have a 2001 civic with 160k
miles and have not replaced the struts. Just wondering if I need to replace
the entire assembly or just the bare strut. Thanks!
they should bolt right in
hey i want to put 2000 Si shocks and struts in my 2000 civic LX…….would
they swap over? i want more sportiness without lowering the car thanks
