1997-2001 Honda CR-V Front Strut Replacement - VERY EASY!

[@MrJamminguitar]

Gonna use your video to do my Mom's CRV. Looks relatively easy! Thanks for the vid!

[@kauffmansgarage]

Thanks for watching! It is easy, just take your time and pay attention to how things come apart.

[@krungtape]

Thank you very much for the video. I noticed when I make abrupt complete stop, the car wiggle left and right which is unusual and it makes clunking noise as well when go inside small pothole. Thank you again 👍

[@kauffmansgarage]

Glad it helped!

[@ericaquino8853]

Nice 👍 I like the size of your tires. How’s the noise when you’re driving? Your car automatic or stick shift? Thanks!

[@kauffmansgarage]

It’s an automatic and tires produced little noise.

[@jnhudspeath]

Have you checked drag links and inner and outer tie rods and maybe strut mounts ? And possibly steering linkage ?

[@kauffmansgarage]

Yep, all good!

How are the shocks after a year?

[@kauffmansgarage]

@@ZaneReed-n8e This has moved on to new owner so I can’t say. I do see it from to time and it’s still sitting nicely with no sag.

[@CerealKiller187]

Yeah, i was yelling at the phone. You have to take the retaining bolt out completely to drop the fork. Edit: i see you included that later in the video. 😂

@@kauffmansgarage also that definitely did not happen to me...*looks around*

[@friingey]

Doggone it. I was having trouble removing the fork so I went to KZbin, found your video at the top and you didn't show how you got the fork off when you were having problems.

[@kauffmansgarage]

You have to pull the bolt all the way out of the clamp portion. The bolt captures the strut tube in a groove.

8:37 I couldn't get that bolt out :(

[@kauffmansgarage]

Can’t get it loose or can’t get it out?

[@JEWTUBE-z2v]

@@kauffmansgarage No. I used some P.B blaster on it yesterday and map gas today with a Milwaukee fuel impact and it would not budge. I was thinking of cutting the fork and getting a rust free fork. The shocks are fine i think, it's making noise on hard impact bumps

[@kauffmansgarage]

@ Dang! If you have a pull a part or similar junkyard close to you maybe you can find a used one there.
