Replace your front shock/strut assembly fast and easy. Just showing you guys how I did mines. Get your own info on bolts/nuts torque specs. I don't know them. Video was edited to remove camera falling and viewing placements.

Thank you kindly. I did them on an 1974 Mitsubishi Lancer and it was an easy job. My wife Honda CRV 2000 needs them done and they look much the same. GREAT JOB keep up the effort.

Thanks for making this video. I have a 97 and the engine still starts and runs like brand new. The ride has started getting worse and I've been thinking of getting a newer used car but I still love my crv and not having a car payment.

John Dozier my daughter that’s 20yrs old loves her 01 CRV and really attached to it. She’s told me plenty of times that she feels much safer not having all the distractions from these new electronics and gadgets in newer cars. I’m sure she’ll be keeping her CRV for a very long time.

Dude! Thank you so much! I really appreciate this video. Did it ride a bit better after replacement??

@streemline13 5 жыл бұрын

tommyboy790 you’re welcome. yes it definitely rode better. The old shocks was clunking when I hit a small bump and replacing them got rid of that.

Streamline Great video, Thank you. Did it change your alignment? I was wondering if we will need to get an alignment after installing new Struts?

@streemline13 4 жыл бұрын

MrCowboyjeff Yes it made the ride much stiffer. I would recommend getting an alignment. Thank you for watching.

MrCowboyjeff I am a mechanic, I get questions like these all the time. When replacing any steering components or suspension excluding shocks, you need an alignment. If not, your tires will be destroyed quicker over time and your gas mileage will drop significantly because of toe.

yes I like the fact its low and can fit under my civic hatch but it sucks when I need to use it on my honda crv. It doesn't jack the car up high enough to clear the wheels off the ground without needing blocks. Definitely only good for regular height cars and not on suv height types.

what brand strut assembly u buy?..thanks for vid.

@streemline13 5 жыл бұрын

Ripple Freak I bought the complete front and rear struts with springs on eBay by shock masters. Beware of just buying the cheap struts. I bought a pair and had to replace it coz it had a knock when it hit bumps
