    My lower shock bolts were so rusted to the frame and to the inner sleeve of the shock that the mechanic had to cut it all out along with the welded on flange nut.
    Tip: When you change your tires, loosen the lower shock bolt, apply a bit of lubricant and retighten to spec. You'll reduce the likelihood of it being stuck when you have to replace it the next time.

    Thanks. Have subscribed from West Yorkshire. I have a 2006 Honda Jazz 1339 cc iDSi engine 118k miles. Owned it 12 months. Had front struts and top mounts done recently. Changed manual gearbox oil also. Gearshift is quite notch long throw on these. Will look for your pcv valve video as think that would be good to have a go myself. Ive done a lot sorting water ingress problems . Enjoying learning.

    Older model Acura/Honda’s used and some newer model Higher end ones still. use Double Wishbone Independent suspension. For some reason those struts last for over 150,000 miles or at least 20 years. And haven’t leaked. My 04 Accord has 91,700 miles. And is 21 years old and not leaking yet.

    If you live in the northern part of the US with freezing cold and/or snow in winter months you may well have some complications and it will not be a 2 level of difficulty! The upper nut was frozen on mine (rear shock) and i had to cut it off, Used a small angle grinder and cut thru it no problem. the same kind of issue is also true on the lower mount! Had to cut the bolt with a reciprocating saw aka Sawzall. it came off .by cutting ,but not so easy a job, as most of these videos show, So, point is if you live in a cold weather area be prepared with extra tools and extra time to deal with this job.

    The lower bolt shouldn't be tightened until the car is at ride height. Otherwise that lower bushing is being twisted.

      I believe big dog on youtube did put the weight of the car on the shock before torturing it down because yes I believe it will twist and prematurely wear out your lower bushing..

    • @dannysdiygarage
      @dannysdiygarage  2 месяца назад +1

      That’s a great question! My initial shock absorbers were blown out, so it really made a big difference. I’m currently looking into front struts, and once I find the best option, I’ll make a video to share with you. Stay tuned!

    • @dannysdiygarage
      @dannysdiygarage  4 месяца назад

      Wish I could help, but without checking the car it’s hard to make a accurate diagnosis, starter motor? Ignition switch? Do you have an aftermarket alarm (weather it’s working or not) these cause starting problems as you’re describing, just things to check, a full diagnostic check is required

      @@DkpProductions absolutely agree! The upper nut was seized to the stud on one of my rear shocks. there are a few ways to get it off. I bought an angle grinder to cut off the top nut and stud to get it to come out. you might also try a reciprocating saw/Sawzall or up to the max an Acetylene/ oxy torch. but i dont recommend a torch due to potential fire hazard. I'd rate mine as a level 6 in difficulty. Danny has it easy in California. Getting the lower bolt started can also be a chore, best to watch several videos before tackling this job. unless you live where it never freezes/ snow or ice in winter. Generally Danny has super videos on here, but be carefull to adjust for your own part of the world and own car.

    Dear Dannys DIY Garage
    I hope you are well. Your recent videos look great but aren't reaching your target audience. No matter how good your video is, without proper SEO, keyword research, and correct titles, descriptions, and tags, you won't stand out from your competitors. This results in losing views, which is a big challenge for your channel. Fixing these issues will help you gain more viewers and subscribers, leading to higher rankings on RUclips, all organically.
    If you'd like, we can discuss your channel further and provide a report highlighting the issues with your channel. I believe this will be helpful for you.
    Thank you!
