I'm doing this exact same job on my 2004 Hyundai that I just got and your video gave me the confidence to do this this is the simplest shock setup I've ever seen and I was also very happy that the part was only $135 I think I'm going to keep this car a long time it's easy to work on its cheap parts are readily available
500 at astronomical most hard to get part rusted don't normally work on these for it to even be $500 for the whole job including the part it would have to be the worst circumstances you ever see aligne to charge $500 for this job
This was the 1st time I seen your video and was very informative keep up the good work just don't get too bogged down in every little detail some things are just obvious but other than that I will definitely be watching your video game when I need double check my work until then have a good one
Nicely done and very clear! Almost identical to on my '02 XG350L which I did last weekend. I'm sure you did it, but I would emphasize that you should hand tighten the mounting bolts a good way before wrenching. They're easy to cross thread. One question. How do you dispose of the old struts?
The video is helping me a lot I thought was gonna be a lot more difficult but thanks for mechanics like young helping us do it ourselves is outstanding great video
Hi Mr. Kitoko. Great video on this repair. Will you please provide the part number for the bolts that secure the rear upper control arm to the shock/strut assembly? Thank you.
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Okay. I was able to find a set at LKQ. I have soaked the shock bolt with PB Blaster (2:00) and let it sit 30+ minutes, but it will not loosen even as I hold the nut to the right of it. Will it hurt anything if I just screw the bolt and the nut out? I should be able to separate them once I get them off the car.
THANK YOU for the video! I'd done the "quick struts"/"complete struts" on the front of our 04 Hyundai Sonata base, but opted to go with replacing the struts, bellows, mounting hardware "old school", WITHOUT the complete assembly....(which, I NOW regret, as now, 2yrs later - too late to return the parts - I CAN'T seem to find the coil springs for the rear at a reasonable price....costs as much as had I just gotten the entire assembly...🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️). ANYWAY, (my question is) with the help of a spring compressor tool, is it much more difficult to replace the struts & hardware, once the assembly is removed from the vehicle? Appreciate your time & assistance! Thanks! #SUBSCRIBED
tightening the bolts for silent blocks must be done when the wheel hub is in a position as if the car was standing assembled on a flat surface; to do this, jack up the brake disc. If this is not done, the silent blocks will quickly fail. I didn't see it in this video, unfortunately.
Hey my bro good job love your works i keep doing what you doing best, was kindly asking asking for your email am starting to work on car want to be consulting if you dont mind...stay blessed and keep doing what you doing a lot are benefiting

Hi Mr. Kitoko. Great video on this repair. Will you please provide the part number for the bolts that secure the rear upper control arm to the shock/strut assembly? Thank you.
@Mustang8846 My Pleasure! I no longer have the part numbers, I gott these parts online!

That rear suspension setup is interesting. I’ve never seen that before.
Ivan Peterzell Yeah!!

Richard Mejia no, not at all, it's pretty easy once you get the strut out and the right tool on hand!!

@zxspectrum3352 Thanks!
Agreed, and I would have torqued the wheel nuts as well.
Nice video!
Kaibinrubber Kaibintech Thank you!!
What are the names of the top bolts holding the upper control arm to the bracket ? Also the name of the bottom bolt holding the strut to the knuckle
@ericshaw9116 Upper control arm bolts and Strut bolts!

SPRDAVE Good!
Great job!
MrCeora Thank you!!
Brand name of the replacement strut
@bobhasslinger2510 I don't remember it!
Can you tell me how much would that cost to do
Sandra Bouyer email me at Deo@calleva.org, so I can give you a quote for this job!!
How about the front struts?
Roger Ungos it's pretty much the same process!!
I cant wait to do this without a lift and airgun 😂 easier than the fronts
@travisbruno5964 Lol!!
I can't get the top controller arm out
@batman3279 that's odd, are the bolts frozen!!
