Acura/Honda Rear Strut Replacement - 2014 - 2020 MDX, 2016 - 2022 Pilot

In this video I'm demonstrate how I replaced the rear suspension struts on a 2018 Acura MDX. The lower control arm that connects to the chassis and the wheel knuckle must be removed; otherwise there is not enough clearance to pull the old strut out. I installed FCS complete struts. These struts are very well made, more than reasonably priced, come with a lifetime warranty and have provided years of trouble free performance.

Nope.

I'm dealing with trying to remove stuck/frozen upper control arm bolt in a 1999 Honda CR-V. Any suggestions?

[@hardlymovingpro]

Soak with penetrating oil for 24 hours

What brand of struts did you install? There aren’t too many options out there, especially for awd

[@hardlymovingpro]

FCS brand is excellent. Noticeable improvement in ride quality. Have been installing and using them for years. They come with a lifetime warranty. Never had to file a claim. Easy to get @ rockauto.com

[@Kief_]

@@hardlymovingpro really? How long were these in use? I’ve heard so many mixed things about them

[@Kief_]

@@hardlymovingpro I hope the warranty process is simple. I have them on my 16 front, will be doing rear soon. 87k on the originals
