How the aftermarket struts work for you ?

Fascinating 🥹

Just did this yesterday, all four corners. Rears were easy. Using this method, just beware of pulling your CV joints out a little when hammering down on the hub and wriggling out your strut. I found the "bear hug" you mentioned was necessary because the CV joint popped out a little, but i was able to get it back in. If you see a CV joint boot which looks like it is "stretching", you probably pulled it out and need to hug it back in. If I had it to do over again, I'd just unstake the axle nut, remove the nut, and let the axle slide more freely. Other than that, great vid. I also used FCS, came fully assembled and are a direct replacement...no adjustments needed. Thanks again!

Hey bro, great video. Are you interested in reviewing car LED lighting bulbs? My bio has the business email. Or is there any way to connect you?

200 Doritos later! I just saw this video and I like it. But question I have a 2013 accord ex what’s the brand on the shocks you got or did you get the original from dealer. also since you installed them have you had any issues with it ?

I've had mine for 20 years and put about 700 miles on it last year so there's no way I would drive it every day but that's me, I have it in storage for 5 months a year because I live in the north east.

I have a question when you change the transmission filter. Do you have to do the top and a bottom or just the bottom?

cool vid. protip: if you wrap the styrofoam blocks in the hatch/trunk (the ones that hold the tools) with black gorilla tape at all the points it touches the body it will eliminate those annoying squeaks. and tighten the targa bolts with blue loctite.

Same 8w90 would work for front differential too?

I don't understand why in other videos, they disassemble the whole suspension to remove the strut. This video proves all that work is not necessary.

143k on mine still pulls like a train on stock turbos BPU auto 💪

Thanks for a great video. That helps. Did you use the re-furbished after market starter or re-furbished OEM one? Have you had any problems with the starter since? The dealer told me that Honda is sensitive with the after-market products. I hope they didn't pull my legs.

This looks like one of the worse engineered front strut and control arm assy. I have ever seen. I have worked on cars for over 50 years and this setup sucks. Way too many nuts and bolts here.

I'm looking to buy a Safari but it needs a new alternator and I was going to replace it on site when I buy it. How long did it take you to do the job? Thanks for the tips!

Great video. All the other videos related to this have you remove the entire hub which I do not wish to do. I am glad I found a different route.

Hey buddy where do you purchase the front struts thank you

Promo'SM 😎

? I’m planning on replacing mine.

I had a 1980 Toyota Pickup for a couple years (2015-2018). The ac system was an original R12 unit. It was not working when I got it (no refrigerant in the system). The few things I did was replacing the o-rings on the fittings that had them, buy the R134 adapters and installed it on the ac compressor, and I also replaced the drier. I rented an ac gauge and a vacuum pump from AutoZone. I used that to pull a vacuum on the system to see if there were any leaks. Everything checked out fine. I kept in mind that this ac system may have residual R12, so I ended up buying the small can of R134 ester oil charge. I used the whole can and then I filled the rest of the system with R134 until the pressure in the system was in range. It ran cold for a couple years until one of the metal lines on the condenser decided to crack.

What brand of struts u used

Really nice work man, thanks for documenting all your projects. I've got a 79 with the 20R and done a lot of the same work you've made videos about. I haven't had the overheating issues, but I'm in rural western WA and rarely do speeds above 50 mph. You might consider getting a weber 32/36 to help with the fuel economy. I know you probably can't desmog in CA, but after I desmogged and installed the weber it felt like a new truck. I get around 25 mpg. Maybe a new, more efficient radiator would help with the heat? I gotta do the heater core next, not looking forward to it haha.

The black and glitter car was wrapped by @ParadoxTheWrapper

Well this looks like a nightmare. As much as i love the Astro van, they are not east to work on. 😮

Did you get an alignment right after your installs?

Great video! About to do mine later this week once parts deliver. Question, What torque specs do I crank everything to? Such as the lower control arm bolts, sway bar links, etc, or did you just throw some threadlocker down and zip it on? My peace of mind comes from going off torque spec but I'm having trouble finding them online. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

These struts go bad pretty quick. Most cars I owned last 175k These only 90k Wtf

I'm trying to get through this. Front left strut is in, but I can't get the lower control arm to swing into the frame so I can reattach it. Doesn't matter how hard I try - it just won't swing in toward the frame

how did you remove the bolt at 1:40 so easily? i’ve exhausted all my strength trying to get it off. should i use an impact gun?

Thanks a lot bro thats help me 👍🏽

I used copper wire is that why it’s not working?

Why wasn't it moving, I'm having same issue?

You did a commendable job. Thanks

Hi! What it’s that spray you used before unscrew ? and blue color paste ?

How long did it take you to change ?

Go Ksports CoilOvers You’ll Never regret buying them

I'm I missing something...I can't get enough clearance to pull the strut out...smh

HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!

How do you now assemble the lower part of the rear seat ?

great video, why did you wrap everything with aluminum tape?

🔥

Nice can get van ready for surf trips now

What brand do you recommend would be the best option for a 2013 Honda Accord LX-S coupe that's daily driven ? I live in the countryside of Arkansas and the roads are bumpy as hell and a lot of gravel. Need the perfect struts to survive the roads and give me a smooth ride

Very informative and helpful video, thank you! One note from when I did it, the speed sensor does not have to be taken out, just remove it from the three brackets and it has plenty of slack.

I have 115k on my 2013 accord. I'm starting to get a slight dull thud noise at cruising/freeway speeds from the right front suspension over small bumps. I checked the sway bar links and upper strut mount, they're tight. Starting to think the struts are going bad but no signs of leakage. How many miles were on your Accord when you replaced your struts?

Did the whole thing in like 40 minutes but im still stuck on the 2 bolts that hold the lower control arm been trying for about 2 hours now 🤦🏽‍♂️

I must not have been a strong enough bear to pull the lower control arm in to put in the two bolts. So, I put a come-along on the control arm and hooked the other end to the other control arm on the other side of the car and cranked the arm in place. Still had to fight it a little to get the bolts to align but I was able to do that with a pry bar and big screw driver.

Anyone in atlanta area can help me install mines?

Didn't seem to do anything. Looks exactly the same after. I applied the resin like 5 times pushing underneath and attempting to get resin into the crack

I’m having the hardest time for those two bolts for the LCA to catch. The holes look center but since there is about 5mm of smooth surface on the bolt before the threads start, it’s tough lol unfortunately I feel I’ve cross threaded one hole. Did you just muscle it in or how can I get them to thread up?
