I replaced my Struts on my Honda Pilot after it was making a clanking noise when going over bumps. It fixed the problem and I soon realized how bad the struts needed to be replaced becuase of the difference it made. Also good to mention that the car needed an alignment after replacing them.

Thanks for the great real-life demo. Down-to-earth approach! Clear and concise.

Great overview and summary of possible issues. It definitely helped me to diagnose my worn out strut issue

Awesome video. I started watching you when I was working on my first car and you were the only one with good videos on 2000 vw Passat repairs. Good to see you’re still having fun with it.

I forgot, thank you for the video. They are always informative and fun to watch. Semper Fi, USMC.

Thank you so much. Very helpful information to decipher a diagnostic issue my mechanics were facing.

Hi. Are shocks buffer worth it ? Any guide on them ? Like how long do they last and any percentage on much improvement on installing them ?

Thank you so much for this video. Every time I went over a bump or pothole the steering wheel did exactly what you said it would. That helped me diagnose my problem after already changing droplinks and bushes on my anti roll bar. Would you recommend changing just the shock absorbers? Or do the whole suspension with the springs too?

My car had worn bearing on the upper strut mounts Ford was famous for that problem. It would be a good time to replace those when you are replacing the struts.

This was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you

I was wondering. I have a 2010 elantra with 82,000 kms. Problem is that the ride is really harsh and noisy. The rear shocks give a really rough ride on rough road. Steering is ok, and they are not leaking. I had a mechanic check it out, and he said it may be the upper mounts. Rough noisy rid eover rough roads. Also I wonder if it may be a mount problem. Also I am not sur if In can replace the shock because there is a upper rear mount that I have to remove, but I do not have a hoist to remove those mounting bolts. What do you think! Thanks

The explanation is very thorough! Thanks!

BRO! love your content! Thanks so much! I can't afford to hire a mechanic to fix my beaters so I have to HAHA

I am 1K miles from home and all of a sudden a bunch of errors were thrown. This caused my VSC light to go on AND cruise to totally STOP working (important to have cruise when traveling 1K miles back home). Bluecar allowed me to scan and find out all issues AND reset ALL codes so my cruise worked again. It probably saved me $500. - 1K in the last 12 hours in potential tows and BS proposed shop fixes...

You da Man! Considering KYBs to replace my OEM toyota struts. How can I tell if I need an entire new "quick struts" or just a new strut (and reuse the OEM spring)??? Someone else told me that it is usually best to keep the original spring portion because they are usually much better than any spring you will get on non genuine toyota. Do you know any test or way for me to tell if the OEM spring portion of the strut is worn out or not? In other words, I am affraid that if I transfer the OEM spring to a new KYB strut, that I will quickly find out that I should have replaced the spring too. You always have such excellent videos! Help! :-)

YOU MADE ME LAUGH AND EARNED A SUBSCRIBER!

Hi there! Need help here. My Nissan bottoms out when I hit a bump... not sure if I need new shocks or coils. What do you think is the problem? Thanks.

I have a 2012 ford focus with front struts and sway bar links that are 1.5 years old and i just put in new lower control arms...I thought the new control arms would fix my slight vibration and inside tread cupping, but it has not..Then I have noticed that I here clunking which i think is from the strut mount. i do remember hitting a bad pot hole months ago and wondering if that destroyed the bearing..However, after jacking the car up and pulling on the wheel and forcing it up with a pry bar under the tire, everything seems tight and I can not reproduce the clunk. Only here it when hitting holes in the road. Any advice? Hate to do all the work to take the strut out and still not be able to tell if its bad.

is a shock absorber considered broken if the shaft doesnt come back, but compresses with good resistance you you can pull it out with the same resistance

Love your commentary, lol, and the instructional video!

Probably be a good idea to have your alignment checked after replacing front suspension components. Especially if you didn't go OE.

Q bien maestro,a casi describido lo q hace mi carro,aunq baya a baja velocidad como 40 o 50 millas por ora, se siente q bailotea ligeramente cuando agarra un peqeño bache,yo crei q era toda la suspensión por q el mecanico no le encuntra nada..no cabe duda alguna q tengo q reemplazar los strut shocks.gracias por la explicación 🙌👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Hello I just replace my front new struts(Monroe) on 2014 ford explorer and it makes every time I hit puddle or it's normal because its just new struts

Is there a way to inspect them while you installed? What about a constant clunking noise as you drive and hit bumps?

@dougn2350

Жыл бұрын

That could be sway bar links or bad shocks. Best to have it checked out by a mechanic you trust.

hi what can cause wheel bounce at highway speed already replaced both struts. The wheel bounces on concrete pavement only and not on asphalt

Random comment, so not sure if you respond, but would bad front struts cause a slight jiggling feeling on smooth roads? It's like I'm going over cracks but there's no cracks.

When I make left turns or go over bumps or hills I'll hear a slight ding or hear noises from the left side idk if it's the shock or the thing that connects the wheel

It is also not necessarily see a leak in the shocks. For me every time I decided to change them and when I inspect them I see that they became very loose. Very small force were enough to compress them. That means also that the car is carried by the struts and engine mounts only... You can imagine how the dampening and vibration be in this case. So my advice to myself is to change them regularly regardless of their conditions. Say 60-70 km are fair enough for them.

Very clear explanation Thanks alot

I replace my front shocks with heavy duty ones it made no difference because the coil springs are stuffed instead springs wear out after awhile.

I need new struts in my car. This fit my car perfectly. I can’t even go over the smallest bumps without my car bouncing like crazy. Driving on the highway when it’s windy is scary. My car feels like it’s wobbling.

I have an almost new car, 2021 Sonata with 42,000 miles. I started getting an odd noise from the rear suspension a few months back. At low speeds there's a rapid thumping noise when I drive over cracks in the pavement. I highly suspect the shocks. But with only 41k miles Im reluctant to replace them. Can bad shocks make thumping noises?

Just subscribed to this guy hilarious beginning

This guy needs to be the president that disclaimer was fire 😭

Looking good brotha. Struts and shocks are one of the easiest for the lay man to understand because many people have driven a bicycle. Applying the concept of a mtn bike shock to the car's shock/strut is identical. How to identify a failing vehicle strut: 1 - the oil is coming from the strut 2 - oil around the shaft That's about it. If no oil is leaking but there's a knocking over bumps and uneven cornering, the upper strut mount needs to be replaced but not immediately necessary. Generally a worn strut and/or strut mount won't throw off the alignment too much and rotating the wheels every 5k (oil change) would be good. This doesn't apply to the other 10% of vehicles out there.

I don’t notice any of the issues here,but I hear a rattle at lower speed coming from rear passenger side. Sounds like outside, not interior. Checked the spare and it’s solid. Weird part is, I test drove it and didn’t notice... bought it 3 days later and heard it. Only change was dealer plate removed. What could it be? Don’t notice it hardly at all when up to speed

Should I get any problem like back pain and belly pain while driving car with bad shock absorber? Even in my last 3 years ride never felt like that which I felt last 2 to 3 days. Should it cause bad shock absorber?

How often should struts and shocks be replaced?

They're not expensive if it's a basic vehicle, around $60-75 a corner online for basic kyb (even cheaper with spring sales/rebates). Cheap Chinese sensen are like $120 for four. That's pretty cheap for such a vital component that makes a huge difference in making an older car feel newish.

Did you know that the equations that describes motion and forces of the damper and spring are the same for an electrical capacitor and inductor. In fact early analog computers were used to simulation these mechanical devices since the equations are the same..

Do you recommend replacing struts as a maintenance item, or just when they are "bad"? At what mileage would you recommend replacing them?

@PotatoeChipz

4 жыл бұрын

Do a quick inspection of the springs making sure they're not cracked, then lift the boot on the shaft of the strut to see if they're dry. If all checks out positive--no need to replace. They're not a maintenance item. More a suspension part as to what type of road you drive on for the life of the vehicle. Hope that helps

On my 2008 Altima, I did all the test but all of them checks out. But when I’m driving on the freeway and there’s an uneven road, it rocks like a boat side to side. So I completely removed the spring and tested the strut and yep, busted shocks! The monroe struts for some reason was busted on the top 2” of the struts and works fine further down. Probably the reason why the tests I did passed.
