  • In this video I show you how I replace the rear shocks on a Honda Civic. This is one of those times when Honda uses a shock assembly instead of a strut. The exact vehicle in this video is a 2006 Honda Civic EX sedan.

    I just ordered the exact same struts for my roommate's 2007 Civic. I told her that KYB, Koni, and Bilstein were my favs. A few weeks ago I drove her car and nearly got sea-sick... I didn't realise it wasn't a MacPherson strut assembly! This makes it so much easier! Thanks for the great video. I subscribed.

    This is an excellent how-to. Subscribed.
    A side note: If you are getting a clunking noise from the trunk at low speeds that goes away at highway speeds, and you are not experiencing excessive vibration issues, try tightening the top nut and bottom bolt of the shock. A little loose can cause a lot of rattle.

    Excellent video. Very thorough down to specific placement of the jack when loading the rear suspension to light and heavy amounts of force. Well done and I appreciate you sharing your expertise.
    I have replaced basically everything suspension wise along with other things in the last week and a half in my 2006 Civic LX coupe (with 275k miles) including lower control arms, ball joints, sway bar end links, inner+outer tie rods, and brake pads/rotors. On my way to the alignment shop, I heard a pop which ended up being the front left coil spring... So now I have complete strut/coil assemblies for the front and shocks for the back on the way as well as already having end links for the rear as well.
    I hope that my Ohio Honda with 275k allows me to release the bottom bolts on the front strut assemblies and these rear shocks. I don't have an impact, and while I could run and grab something for short term use, I got by installing everything else without one, so I hope my luck holds. A couple of breaker bars and some sweat has done it so far... Along with treating each bolt/nut with PB blaster daily for nearly a week beforehand. That seemed to have been the trick.

      @@BigDog50001 The lower rear shock bolts are the devil. A big Milwaukee Fuel high-torque 1,400ft/lb impact wrench only would spin the rubber inside the outer bushing with the bolt, and that pries open the mounting point. I was going to just start unbolting things back there to use my nice cutoff tool, but was afraid that i would have to end up cutting something else before the parts for the rear (upper control arms, toe adjustment bolts, etc.) started being delivered 3-4 days after this event. Ended up grabbing my neighbor's beefy oxy/acetylene cutting torch. I got a ton of old rags, probably 30 of them, soaked them in water, and wrapped up everything else tightly. I had my buddy keeping things while the torch did the work. I first cut through and across the outside round part of the shocks that retain the bushing and yanked the ancient shocks off. I then took a compact sawzall and removed the rubber component of the bushing to yield the stupid jerk of an inner bushing that was locked into a love affair with the bolt. I had to literally heat those up to about as hot as I could without starting to cut again before i shut off the torch and held a set of large vice grips on the inner bushing piece and had my buddy with a long breaker bar and a 14mm socket crank with all his might... until the first side and then the second were clear of the old hardware, and my garage floor and own self were covered in rust and soot and all the nasty stuff that burned off. Our masks were a testament to how important those were that day...
      New shocks were installed in about 4 minutes a piece. The 4 front lower strut bolts loosened with nothing more than an 18" breaker bar and 19mm/17mm sockets on the nut and bolt in that order. Front strut/coil spring assemblies by Gabriel had a slightly larger diameter bolt on the top ends that terminate in the strut towers, and I had to drill them out by 1/16", but still had both sides done in maybe a half hour. Can't beat the convenience of not having to use a janky spring compressor, and replacing all four corners at once, as well as on the front: lower control arms, ball joints, end links, inner/outer tie rod ends. On the rear: lower and upper control arms, complete drum brake swap with backing plates, and hub bearings.
      Wanted to note that this pretty large list of part swaps was the first time I have ever done this type of repair. Have been doing my front pads/rotors, oil changes, an exhaust twice, and some odds and ends on the intake and throttle body were it. The wheel bearings were done last unfortunately... I was told the noise on the highway was the drum brakes even though it didn't cease with the activation of the brake system... Those rear brakes were original to the car @275k miles, so it needed done anyway. The new ones are coated to reduce rust. Since everything felt way better but i was still having noise, vibration, and a not awesome feeling from that part of the car, decided to just do it. Nothing else could have done this other than the tires, and rotating them to the front was the first thing I tried. They only have 8-9k on them and they're goodyears. Once the rear wheel hubs were done in quite literally 17 minutes with the Milwaukee impact making bolt removal an absolute piece of cake, that was it. I was done. I hate care now... But when I took it in for an alignment, they told me it was within a few percent of perfect and that the repairs looked well done and they asked who in town used Moog parts and Gabriel struts, and the ball joints with the grease fittings.... That was a proud junior mechanic moment!

    I like your videos the best on this subject but no one seems to have a complete "story" on changing shocks like this on Honda Civics. What if the bolt head breaks? What to do? a couple folks have videos on this, but leave some questions still unanswered. The beginning of a video should also show why you change shocks, What happens to the tires, what about oil leaking on the top of the shock? What tools can you get by with if you dont have the latest digitial Torque wrench etc. Recommendation for tools as in a list of basic needs and ideal tools for the job. Also, list parts needed and also list of parts that might be needed for the mechanic who lives in Rust country and the bolt breaks or is stuck. I didnt see any thread loosener used in this video but are we to assume its always dont or needed? Just a few ideas. Im just learning myself but ive seen a lot of these to try to learn all the sides of this job that i can.

    @sanityone649 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Very well done. And, CORRECTLY TORQUED. Take notice that the torque wrench actually tightened the bolts before reaching and signalling the 80 lb setting for the lug nuts.
    I can't tell you how many people over tighten fasteners and then use a torque wrench that never moves the fastener before it clicks. Using this technique, you'll never know what torque was actually applied since the set torque was reached before the fastener moved...meaning that the actually applied torque was above teh torque wrench setting. Duh! I've seen this so many times, especially at tire stores, where installers run down lug bolts with air guns and then run around checking torque with a torque wrench.
    Trust me, invest in your own torque wrench and then retorque your lug nuts.
    Thanks for doing it right.

    My 2007 civics rear shocks were replaced and the car bounces up and down like an old Buick! Is that normal? I thought it was the opposite new shocks will rebound once the old worn-out ones will rebound more than once etc?

    Thanks for the video. My experience was a little bit of an ordeal. When I tried to get the lower bolt out on passenger side, I found the bolt had rusted to the bushing. In the process of trying to torque it off, I had bent the side of the bracket with the built-in nut. Fortunately, I had enough room in there to get a grinder wheel and cut the bolt off (and bushing, woof). I bent it back best I could with a C-clamp. Trying to install the new bolt, I might have cross-threaded it because the bracket was bent slightly. 43 foot lbs... lol? I got it snugged up in there and left it. If I have problems with it in the future, I'll just drill out the built-in nut and run a bolt through with a washer and nut of my own. The drivers side took, maybe 15 minutes total to change.

    • @BigDog50001

  • @nalinification
    @nalinification 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For what it's worth-
    I keep the new shock compressed, get the bottom bolt in and then cut away the retaining strap and guide the top end into the hole. Makes it a lot easier to not cross thread the bottom bolt.

    • @BigDog50001
      @BigDog50001  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I have done that trick too. Doing it that way will not allow "priming" the shock prior to install though. Thanks for the input!

    hi Big dog,
    i am stuck in a bit of weird situation.
    Got new rear shocks for Civic 2011. After replacing the rear shocks the car has stopped jumping like a jumping castle and the ride quality has improved ALOT.....BUT
    The car is actually now leaning on the front driver side . Only slightly but i think its more noticeable from inside aswell as when driving on very plain straight road or parking it at one(hard to find one in islamabad as all are leaning towards inside so the rain water could flow freely)
    When you park the car straight, its leaning from the front driver side and is slightly UP from the rear left side.
    It is leaning more towards the FRONT right of the driver side rather then the REAR of the driver side but is surely down a little from rear driver side and all the way UP from the REAR passenger side & normal from the FRONT LEFT PASSENGER side.
    Could this be because of my Front right shock is blown too as it was hard to diagnose just by looking with rear old shocks? or is it that the new shocks i got are acting weird?
    Measured all the tires from the ground to the exact middle of the arch of wheel.
    26 (inch) front right
    26.6 (inch) front left
    26.9 (inch) rear left
    26.4 (inch) rear right

    • @BigDog50001

      If this happened immediately after my work I would double check my work. Typically you will not change the ride height with shocks.

    Thank you for the video. I did this today and it went perfect. Used your video to step me through. The only thing I did different was not taking out the carpet. I just removed the 3 clips on each side and pulled it our enough to give me access to the top of the shock. I would like to mention that the top of my KYB shock was not as long as the ones you have or the original stock shocks I took off. The part that has the hex bolt and the nut, about 1 1/2 inches shorter on the ones I got but still had plenty of space for the nut. Also, maybe you should mention that thing about making your shocks not squeak at the beginning of the video instead of the end, I missed this step and I am not taking it back apart. I don't hear any squeaking yet but when they start I am blaming you. J/K, thanks for the video.

    Don’t be fooled by the words “Assembled in the USA”. Putting a non US made part into a US made bag/box does NOT improve the quality.

    • @BigDog50001

      Unfortunately prices vary widely depending on the part (OEM or aftermarket) and the cost of labor at the shop where the work is being done.

    Okay. I’m just confirming here that people who are looking for Honda Insight info and all they get hit by Civic and other models but the insight. I just replaced mine yesterday on 2013 Honda Insight ex model. Procedure is same just minor bushings orientation is different. I didn’t record mine due to this is very good video on explaining everything you need to know about rear shocks on Honda. By the way Insight is hybrid and there no difference in that matter with this procedure.
    Thanks for great video.

  • @manyakus8919

    Thank you for the detailed video !
    Last year I changed my front and rear suspension OEM parts.
    I hear a clunk noise from the rear but only when it is cold (I live up north).
    I changed the bottom bolt, upper rubber mount, nut and I still hear the clunk but only at winter.
    I changed the stabilizer links, rear control upper arm and still clunk.
    So I am certain that these rear shocks have a manufacturing defect.
    They have max 5000km and are outside of warranty (12 months).
    Should I replace them with OEM again or just go with KYB?

    • @BigDog50001
      @BigDog50001  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some of those Civics would make clunk sounds in the rear due to the bump stop on the shock moving around (sliding down out of place). You may have better luck with KYB.

    • @bolts5994
      @bolts5994 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had the same issue at my mechanics shop. We put in aftermarket in the rear and it would rattle and clunk. They kept trying different bushings and nothing worked. Finally we just had to go with OEM and that corrected the problem. For some reason the aftermarket rear shocks just don't fit well in the rear. There's just a tiny little play in the bushings.

    • @bolts5994
      @bolts5994 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Had the exact same issue. For some reason aftermarket ones make those noises. After screwing around with them for almost a few weeks My mechanic and I finally decided to go to OEM and it fixed the problem. It's a shame because the OEMs are ridiculously expensive but I guess you just have to do what you have to do.
