For those confused with the "ride height pre-load" comment by the video, there is no such thing needed with these shocks. Just install them (one nut and one bolt), and you're done.

[@Celexanomnom]

When you say torque at ride height, you mean like if you have load on it and not hanging down free? Or if you’re using a bottle jack for instance to hold the strut up, that’s when you torque it? Just trying to clarify

[@niccocowboymetoyer2972]

Man that was neat how theres a new rotor on there when you replaced the shock lol.

[@dustin3700]

It's because they do multiple videos at once and edit them together.

[@emailjimsylvester]

In my experience, when you "work the bolt out" by turning it after it's already come free of the welded nut it damages and flattens the threads. It's much better to use a long screw driver or other pry tool to pry above the old shock and relieve the tension on the bolt so that you can simply slide it out.

[@thinking6307]

THANK YOU, SIR. Excellent demonstration and information!

[@YouOldSailorYou]

You guys have the BEST videos. Thank you!

[@nicekar4218]

That's pretty cool how you got a new rotor while installing a rear shock

[@dmitrivoyevoda7124]

do you have any videos for replacing rear sway bar bushings on this vehicle? Thanks

[@emmanuelcastro3757]

The lower bolt what is that connected to the lower control arm or what? My friends broke off today and we are trying to see if anything can help. Thank you

[@Vk-vd1xs]

Torque the shock at ride height? @7:25 what do you mean please?

[@dennisthemenace49]

Torquing the bolts at the point where the shock would be with the tire on and resting on the ground.

[@bennyblancoooof2955]

Can you tell me what that bottom bolt is connected to ? Like that entire bottom piece that it’s connected to ?

[@ramilmanalo7059]

What is the Torque pounds on that?

[@JayCee81]

I came to learn the process but was distracted by the sideburns lol

[@ValdesFamilyRNFL]

I stripped the bottom bolt Of the exact same shock absorber to an 06, Where do I find the replacement bolt after I pop it out of the knuckle housing?

[@axjohn]

Do you guys have any videos using Ridgelines?

[@MikeR55]

Can you make a video for replacing the rear coil springs, thanks.

[@1AAuto]

+Mike R We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@YeahLuHoops11]

Is this video out yet?

[@vibarra]

Any differences with the 2nd generation Pilot?

[@brucegor]

is it directional? surer than s--t ill do it backwards :)

[@1AAuto]

Yes they are directional, you want to make sure you put the new one in the same way the old one came out! 1aauto.com

[@user-gu4qg1ed2h]

good

[@BareFaceBandit]

The part my bottom shock bolts to Is cracked

[@justineaton6281]

Looks like it's part of the rear spindle

[@justineaton6281]

You'll need to replace spindle, I wouldn't weld it bc welds do not hold good on that type of metal
