Great job…Thank You !!!!!
Once the struts are replaced is alignment needed?
Great job! Very useful video.
Five ⭐️ review on this procedure. Thanks for the torque and tips in replacing the shocks.
I love her! Based on this I will get the front. IS there an element video on rears?
Increíble mujer!
Felicitaciones por tu trabajo, conseguiré la herramienta y lo haré yo mismo.
Gracias.
11:03 How come she does that for the front struts but she didn't do that with the rear?
i wish my mom were this skill…so she wouldnt be scam by shady mechanics…we live two cost apart…so i cant help her…from here.
I have 1aauto strut assembly on all fours. After two years, it's making creaking noises. When the car is parked, as I turn my wheel the front is creaking ridiculously loud at the strut. I sprayed some liquid wrench at the front lower assembly and now it's gone. Do you have any idea what is going on?
Do you think you could do an inner tie rod replacement ,
please
I wonder if this can be done without a car lift? I can’t get the strut back because the lower suspension is at an angle to the strut so I can’t get the top bolt back in.
Just replace the front and rear but my 2007 Element sc looks higher use to be lower, is that normal? Please replay, thnks!
At first I thought this was going to be another fake video, but this lady knows her stuff. It is great to see mechanical work like this, taking care to give the best set for camber, dropping the car to ensure proper preload before locking down the upper strut bolts. It was great work and I can't believe she did everything without touching any power tools! Way to go, glad to see this video!
Got an 06 E and finishing up the starter replacement. Front struts are next and this is my favorite video so far. You keep it simple, explain well and I'm glad to have a women instructor for once 🙂
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for this video! I just sat down after spending the afternoon doing exactly what you did in the video. It was a piece of cake, except for when the knuckle flopped down. The inside CV boot was cracked, and it pulled the joint completely apart! What a mess! Please, please, please edit your video a little bit to warn people not to do this! The knuckle must be supported with a cinder block or something! Luckily, I was already familiar with this issue because I replaced my ball joints two years ago. I have the Honda factory repair manual, and it explicitly warns not to allow the inside joint to pull apart. Thankfully I was able to fix it by pulling off what was left of the boot, and with the help of an extra jack to support the knuckle, I was able to pack it with fresh grease, wiggle the joint back together, and slide the boot back on and then secured it with a zip tie. And I've ordered one of those two-piece split replacement boots, and that will be a project for next weekend.
