Thank you again for another helpful video. Always appreciate the straightforward material with nonsense removed. Anyone can get this done. Those two bolts are tight on most cars. Recommend impact to remove if you have.

Check the times of 1:30 and 1:58 you'll see the notches on the bushing and he installed the mount upside down some one else caught it also really just easy fix though. He's still pretty competent mechanic though he's human and can make mistakes

Lmao you're right.

Thank you for this video guys!

I need to replace my strut bolt that goes through the Knuckle... do I need to have the washers? Or can I go without?

[@casandraperez2453]

I don’t imagine that the 2013 Malibu rear shocks is any different than this right? Do you have any videos on 2013-2015 by any chance?

[@TRQ]

+Casandra Perez The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

Excellent. Just replaced the rear shock on my 2013 Malibu LTZ Turbo. Was a slightly different setup than this but similar enough to be very helpful. Thanks man!

I love this guy.....

Where can I get the 21 mm socket

[@picklerickc1375]

So.. You put the shock caps back onto the new shocks upside down.

[@quinncrutcher]

Do you need to go through the trunk for any removal of the back shocks ?

[@caliborn86]

No thankfully it has studs that are stationary up there and all you worry about is loosing those underneath nuts so simple bro hope that's helps. 👍🏼

[@picklerickc1375]

Thanks

[@ridgewaylawoffice3926]

you installed the upper mount upside down

[@1959ghostrider]

He sure did. And you might as well replace that mount sense you’re there

[@alanbrooks3670]

@@1959ghostrider since it's upside down we'll call it your prerogative at least some one caught it also

[@dannyzamudio1252]

Do you need an aligment after replacing it?

[@TRQ]

+danny zamudio Yes, an alignment would need to be done after installing.

[@MAWA-Vik19]

@@TRQ Why?

[@matthewa.3488]

@@TRQ I would like to know the reason an alignment would be needed after install, just wanting to know reason.

[@daveolson4856]

Remove the top bolts first.

WHAT IN THE HECK IS A "VERICLE"?!?!?

[@carenthusiast4262]

“Torque specs” how about a few cachugas

[@zachheadley9399]

Don't torque to 18lbs unless you have proper torque wrench you'll snap a bolt like I did 😠

Thanks!
