2016 Honda CRV EX Rear Shock Replacement without removing control arms

This was made to show the genius of thinking it thru and going from there

I'm here watching this because I still feel defeated by how long the drivers back took me to get in today. I did all 4 and actually did it on the alignment rack but I did not have the same amount of clearance that you did for whatever reason, I think it's a 17 or 21 idk I've seen a couple the last 2 weeks, It was not nearly that accessible for me with the control arm in place. The angle of the cap was running into the lip around the hole up top or wedging against the control arm. That was my last job for today, a Monday, and I'll tell ya what I can pump out some suspension work and I felt defeated by how much a pain in the ass this was for my weak back and shoulders the last hour of the day lol. I did the fronts and RR which just pry bars but by the time I got to the LR I had to pull the pneumatic jack out. Props if you ever need to do all 4 just know doing it by hand is gonna wear you at lol.

Good luck!

Was your ride more bumpy? At what mileage did you replace? Were your tires cupping?

[@2wheelmonster]

The ride is stiffer due to more spring, replaced them at 107,000 miles and tires were not coupling just made awful noises when doing uber and having a full car of people

[@mikolaistv2465]

Nice job. Very easy to replace. What is the torque pounds for the bottom bolt?

Well… Couldnt find it so I did classic method of making a mark and counting revolutions and then returned it to same position with correct amount of revolutions previously counted.

@@2wheelmonster How's the Monroes treating you. Last used them about 40 years ago they only lasted a month so I swore them off. Maybe they're better now I don't know.

[@2wheelmonster]

Oh they sucked. Lasted about two months. Any coil over shock is not good for ride share at all. Once your headlights blind other drivers on low beam its bad. No matter what shock I tried they all went bad after a couple months of driving rideshare. I was averaging about 20 hours weekly for rideshare
