Yes he does

I’d buy Len a beer anytime. Thanks for giving me all the knowledge and confidence I need to do front and rear on my 2012 Altima.

These videos allowed me to attempt these repairs easily (first time never that easy). I'm watching this video after replacing strut, shocks and tie rod ends on my Camaro. Now my wife has asked me to replace hers on her Altima! I will look like I came out of a coal mine again!!!!!! Her car won't be so clean as this one in the video since she drives it year round in ice and snow and salt!!

Easiest change ever. Saved me 100’s

This company has 100% saved me so much money over the years.I picked up my wife’s Altima 5 days ago after they quoted me $740 to replace the rear shocks. I instantly went to aa1Auto and purchased these replacements for $79.98! It’s 5 days later and they’re already replaced! Question: Do you guys have an App or working on getting one?

Theses guys are fantastic. Love their videos. Have not bought parts from them, but may start.

Dealership told me my rear shocks needed replacement , I declined service and kept driving for a year, I decided to do the shocks myself today and boy did it make a difference… one of the old shocks didn’t even come up once pushed down… it fixed my bumpy ride and nose diving when braking. Thank you this how to do video is great… I bought KYB shocks and they work great to anyone who is planning to do this it’s easy to do like the video but it’ll take some time took me about 4 hours to do everything but I also flushed my rear brake calipers since it was convenient enough… the tools you will need for the shock replacement would be a torque wrench , 21mm socket for tires, 18mm socket for the large pin that holds the shock to the control arm, 13mm socket for the two top bolts holding the shock, 10 inch extension for torque wrench, breaker bar to break the nuts, jack stand, car jack, locking pliers, 16mm wrench for the original nut on the shock, 14mm wrench for the nut on the KYB shocks, KYB shocks come with all the mounts. It was fairly easy the only thing that took a little bit of time was getting the 18mm bolt out a rip is to use penetrating oil and also try to lift up the control arm to alleviate pressure on the bolt so it can loosen more easily. Follow the torques in the video and you’ll be good to go!

Also please note the big washer in the video was put upside down! It’s suppose to concave up! Just follow what the washer looks like from when you disassemble it!

I should’ve watched this first!!! Followed TRQs directions and had to repeat the video like 5 times!! Thank you 1A AUTO

Gracias profe , buen trabajo.

You saved my life, I forgot how to put back the bushings

Doing this today. I feel confident in how simple it is. Since the spring is separate.

Love these videos. They are easy to follow and shows how most repairs can be carried out without a shop full of expensive specialty tools. I do wonder why you do not try to clean up some of the components that are being re-used. For instance, I would have taken a wire wheel to the shock mount and applied a couple coats of rust preventative paint to prevent further corrosion.

Old school torque specs are Two clicks in the elbow. ;D Shock Nuts are nylon self locking nuts. That's a badass torque wrench.

Thanks good video bro...

This guy does ok but I noticed as well as 2 others noticed he put washer backwards. He's working in a shop. Majority of guys don't have a shop or these tools. Type in 2013-2017 Altima rear shock if you have car in between these years. He does it at home in his driveway with tools most guys have and explains everything nice and slow. Did it my first time like he shows work out great.

I noticed that you replaced the brakes and the hub as well, right? The same was done for the front in another video. Do these brakes work better than the stock ones? They look more sportier. P/S: Good job! Perfectly elucidated guide

Thank you sir !

Thank yall👍

I use a color coded torque extension with my air gun, it gets it close to the torque and then I finish with a torque wrench.

@1AAuto is it okay to reuse the hardware from the old shock on the new shock and How could I tell if the hardware on the old shock is in good shape to reuse?

🔥👏 thank you

How much warranty do they come with?

Thanks

when i do the compression to circulate the gas on the brand new shocks, they come up at different speeds after multiple compressions. Is this bad?

great video. seems like a somewhat simple process. i do have a question, will worn out shocks cause an alignment issue in the rear of the car, and should i replace the shocks before i get an alignment??? Thanks in advance.

Changing just shocks don't mess with the alignment. Now if you need alignment, do the shocks first

OH, no I put the strut mount washers on backwards. Will it damage anything?

Only one mistake the big washer. You put it back wrong check the video again. The white washer, the last one on the top

In NH its a little tug on the shock bolt and... noooooo!!! the bushing is obliterated because its fused to the bolt. Road salt strikes again.

That last washer did go on backwards when assembling. You can go back when the factory unit was being taken apart to verify. Not sure if would even matter.
