Awesome video, I have been hearing like if I had a piece of something lose in a container when I drive the car, especially when going in bumps, only on right rear side, wondering if this is the issue… thanks for the video!!!

[@a2zautomasters862]

Thank you for watching and I do appreciate your comment. Check your rear stabilizer links and bushings first they do make a lot of noise when they go bad.

[@Old-ShoolGamer-23]

Great video man . Which brand shocks is good for this car KYB shocks.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Abdool Amin thank you. I appreciate you comment. I like KYB brand I been using them for years and they do make few different models you can pick whatever fits your needs.

I have a rattling on my rear passenger when I turn left down a ramp or going straight over the speed bump. Is that because my strut or bad? Because it does not bouncy if I push on down on it. Nice and simple video, thanks.

[@a2zautomasters862]

I would check the exhaust and exhaust heat shield first. Most likely you have broken shield. Plz let me know. Thank you for watching and I do appreciate your comment.

[@MikeBee77]

Thanks for the suggestion, will check on that.

Awesome having a lift , makes life easier..good job..👍👍🏻👍👍🏻

The lift makes it 10 times easier. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

For the non-mechanical inclined like me… What was the mileage on the civic and What was wrong with the rear shocks (bouncing, noise)? Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Was about 125k miles and it was bouncing

[@MasterLee86021]

Mine only sound like something lose or cracking when heating the bumb or coming down from drive way, what is it, should i replace the shock breaker or the spiral suspension?

[@MichaelBiggs-x8w]

Thanks for Viedo and it was very helpful

[@muhammadrashedulhasan1062]

Is the same shocks fits on hybrid trim

[@roncrawford2706]

Can you reuse the rubber bushing on top? My shocks did not come with them.

[@a2zautomasters862]

You can if it’s not torn or falling apart. Better new once thou

Honda trying to charge $750, $550 for labor for 4 bolts and two shocks!!! Wow! I’ll be doing this myself!!! Thanks

[@a2zautomasters862]

Wow. That’s little too much. I’m glad I can help. Thank you for watching.

I just got quoted 900$🥴🤡

@@erikv4902 I did it myself for $225… fixing your own vehicle is the way to go if you’re able to learn.. too many people are forced to pay high prices bc they own something they know nothing about.. that’s just silly and ignorant clownery

[@a2zautomasters862]

Great stuff easier than i thought ,thanks

[@LIFEASLAVON]

what tool is that you used for the nuts in the trunk

[@robertl955]

He has an impact drill, you can also just use a ratchet set.

[@joeyg7458]

Looks very simple I’m going to tackle this tomorrow..Any pointers?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Good luck, it’s a simple job, u’ll be ok. Let me know how it goes.

Great job

[@MrSupernova111]

Nice!

[@EvenaGirlCanDoIt]

Is there a torque spec for the upper and lower ?

[@jeffreymccormick9280]

Read my mind. Thanks!

[@sirdonaldlee]

Can you do this job without a lift?

[@richcombs4805]

Of course, you need to access the trunk anyway. I've done this, brakes as well, all on jackstands

[@shadmxn]

Do you know what the torque specs are?

[@a2zautomasters862]

I honestly don’t. The top bolts can be just snug The bottom once has to be tight.

[@richcombs4805]

44&22

[@Whateva67]

I wish the front were this easy 😂

[@amgadadel9623]

No. Haven’t seen that

Would I be successful doing this job by not lifting it? I don’t have a lift…

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yea absolutely just use a floor jack and jack stands for safety and do one side at the time. You should be alright.
