- Honda Front Strut Replacement 2007 Accord (2003-2007 Similar).
In this video I show how to replace the front struts on a Honda Accord. I used complete strut assemblies on this job so I did not have to compress the springs. The exact vehicle in this video is a 2007 Honda Accord EX Sedan. 2003-2007 Honda Accords should be similar. Enjoy!

I can't express enough how valuable these videos are to people like me that want to do their own work. TH-cam in some ways is like free college classes. Anything you want to learn within reason is here for the taking. Just like with college, some professors are better than others at explaining things and teaching. You are easily at the top of your field. Good stuff brother. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Yes followed this video closely and did mine. I had a slight misalignment with the mark at the bottom of the shock (ront) and it was not sitting inside the fork correct. Thankfully it was only slight and after release the told fork bolt and pushing up the hub it all fell in place. Thanks BIG Dog50001 !
Agreed! Well said
Easily one of the BEST tutorial/educational descriptive videos I've seen. You nail all the key points to a great Trainer. I appreciate it, brother!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Reallly well-organized and edited. I appreciate especially how you not only show what to do, but also talk about your techniques (like loading before tightening the bolts), and other things that might occur. Your planning, thought process, and execution is very clear. Thank you!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
A true professional with excellent attention to detail.
You are an absolute pro. I watched another video and there is no comparison, he took way more stuff off that made the job 3 times as long and more difficult. I think I can do it now, thanks a million.
Excellent video!You explained every step and why in detail. Thanks
The amount of detail you put into every job is amazing.
I try! Thanks for the comment!
Absolutely excellent video! Very clear and shows how to do the job without a lift. Great.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
I installed KYB rear shocks on our '02 Odyssey. Not OEM, but so far so good. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you for the input and the comment!
Great video with fantastic descriptions and explanations but also concise. Gives me confidence to sort my own Accord out! Thanks.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Nice work man! Both on the mechanical side and your production side.
Great job Big Dog!! Straight and to the point with spot on specs..
Thank you for sharing this video. I had no idea that there was a left and right strut. Plus the lower bolt needs to be replaced too.
👍
I like that you include similar models in the title. I have yet to work on a Honda for two reasons. One, they're not many around where I live and two, (no surprise to you) they just don't break that often. Well, to be honest, I don't really advertise that I work on cars so no one knows about me. I pace myself. (ha ha) Interesting name, "compliance bushing". I come from an aviation maintenance back ground so I'm a big believer in torquing fasteners. Great video.
Thanks for the comment Wyatt!
Congrats on the 20K mark! You deserve it. Ok now back to the video!
Thanks Mike!
Great video. I really like the way you explain what you are doing AND the why. I have an 05 that need new suspension.
Thanks 👍!
Wow that car is clean ! When you say see the rust , I'm like what rust . In Canada that whole undercarriage would be rust. Great video
Man thanks for that tip on jacking up the control arm to get the Schock assembly out .
👍
Another great and thorough video as always thanks again Big Dog 👍
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Thank You I am going to replace my front struts on my 2007 accord with the exact same struts following your instructions!
👍
WOW! By far the best tutorial ive seen in a very long time. Subscribed and Ty!
Thanks and welcome!
Awesome video and master tech tips! learned a lot!
Thanks Bigdog!! Very tutorial video...👍🏼🇺🇸
very nice, thank you for listing all the tools you use.
👍
I'm going to be doing this job very soon thank you for your guidance
Great video, thanks Big Dog
👍
Excellent video... Helpful indeed.. Especially with loading the strut.. lowering the car to load the spring would have created an issue with the design of these KYB struts.
Thanks 👍!
Very nice and clean work,!!!!
Thanks 👍!
Top notch as always
Thanks Jonathan!
Great work on the details.
Thanks!
Great video, excellent detail. Thank you

As Always Great video with excellent instructions and tips. Too bad KYB does NOT provide complete "Strut-Plus" for the rear end of the car.
👍
fucking A this is beautiful. Every other video I have watched were recommending me to go bash out the knuckle or include 14 other steps to get the strut out. You come in here with 200iq movement of just using the jack to slight raise the arm to gain more clearance. IDK how this video doesn't have more views
Love the info ..do I have to get the car front end alignment after replacing struts ?
Yes sir you answered my question about the alignment ! Great video and definitely subscribing!!
Pro tip from Eric the car guy: if the wishbone bolt is seized, which as this vid mentions is common, you can leave the seized bolt, disconnect upper ball joint and sway bar link and tie rod end and release the strut that way.
Just be careful of the brake like and speed sensor.
Thanks for the advice. I would say mine is seized. After PB Blaster, mini sledge, impact wrench, two cheater bars, a broken socket, torch heat and the bolt has not budged at all.
Great work - and great video - i'm just curious about alignments - when its just a single wishbone - i understand that its a must, but with this double wishbone - does it change any of the geometry? what is even adjustable on these accords? is it just the steering endlinks? thanks for your help
Gracias amigo por tu video.
Helps a lot.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Dave, first off Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope its a safe and healthy one. Excellent video with a lot of very useful info. Santa was good this year he dropped off quite a few ATG training books thanks to Sandra at the Automotive Training Group. Excellent person and group to do business with. Hope you and your family had an enjoyable Christmas. Coffee time to enjoy my brew from my friend Mike the Disgruntled Mechanic. Mike if you are here the cup makes the difference Lol. Artie ❤️️
Thanks Artie! Happy New Year to you too, enjoy the coffee!
Great video 👍👍 and details. Thanks
Thanks lot sir for this video very professional tip make lot sense!!!!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks, Big Dog!
No problem 👍!
Good strut install some good pointers
Thanks!
Thank you. New subscriber here.
Thanks for the comment and welcome!
Very well done.
Thanks!
Very nice video. Ax question for you:
Would OEM v6 accord struts fit on a v4 accord? Is there going to a difference in the ride ( aside from being different part #s). Someone is selling a pair brand new & i can't get a definite answer anywhere for this.
Realy helpfull,Thanks!!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
what was the reason you replaced? clunking noise when you hit bumps
Does that lower fork bolt go in the same direction on both drivers and passengers side?
Excellent, thanks!
great work thanx for the tips
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the video god job i got it do mines but mine is a 2005 is it the same process???
Pretty good video
Im about to do this on my honda, what else would you recommend i change so the suspension feels like a brand new car?
Does the v6 use exactly same struts as 4cyl?
Idk you will respond to my comment but where can i buy the front bumper and new headlights? I got a 2007 accord it has a sunroof idk it's an lx or Ex.
I took my shock off my 07 Honda Accord to replace cv axle after reinstall I’m getting a pop/Clunk noise sounds like its coming from strut how do I know if everything is oriented right?
I have 91K on my OE struts and I think they are due for a replacement. Do you think the KYB Excel-G is comparable to OE struts? If it is I would rather save some money and apply it to fuel :)
I think Honda OEM struts are better but they are usually very expensive and can sometimes be difficult to find for certain models. For the price, KYB make very good struts in my opinion and I use them a lot on Hondas.
How important is it to replace the fork bolt and locknut? They are expensive and I would have to wait longer to have them shipped in...
Not very, but you should check after 1k miles
Can a civic strut be used on an 2003 Honda accord
Good video .I like👌🤨👌
Thanks!
How those KYB's struts are working out for your Honda so far are they good?
I have not had any issues with KYB struts or shocks.
Do you know the Fork hole dimension
i am currently working on my 05 accord. Watched one video an think i had it figured out. spayed the pinch bolt with pb. Went to crank on it with a wrench instead of using an impact tool. snapped the head off the bolt off. having trouble trying to extract it. Any suggestions on how?
Drilling, cutting and a torch are probably in your future unfortunately.
very good video, however, I have always taken the nut off rather than try to spin the bolt, to me is just less contact area and less to have to overcome plus, I am sure those bolts are fluted for a reason, seems to me spinning them is going to reduce some of that...I am Not being critical of your methods, I am just offering options....
I bought some struts and they're not in line like the factory..What do I have to do is off about a quarter of a inch
So if the aftermarket struts doesn't have that Ring to support the strut over the fork means that the suspension is supported only over the bolt ?
Looks like a bad design
A just dropped 3 struts and my o6 accord, that right front is not coming out tonight its rusted in there good, soaking some wd40 overnight ill takcle it tomorrow🤓
Good idea!
What’s the purpose of replacing the lower bolt and pinch bolt?
Giving them more money !
What impacts are you using?
I typically use Milwaukee impact wrenches and Sunex impact sockets.
@@BigDog50001 pretty pricey.. 💵
Yes
👍
Wow that car wasn’t from the rust belt!
Nope!
Soo, strut tower bolts tighter than lower fork to strut bolt eh
Do you live in Cali?
Not for many years.
I have them same punches
They work well and were not very expensive.
Big Dog, I tightened my new struts and new lower control arms bolts without a load a few months back. Should I go back and loosen and retighten the bolts this time with a load? I also noticed my car is higher on one side. Could this also be a problem? Thanks.
I would re-torque them properly if it was my car (fairly easy to do). Ride height (probably not associated with the work that you did) is commonly off from one side to the other on many vehicles.
Big Dog50001 Automotive Will do. Thanks for your help. Btw, just surpassed 200k on my 07 Accord. You’re videos have helped with the longevity. I look forward to your future postings. 👍
I'm going to need a new Jack
If you paint mark the old part, and the old part doesnt go back in, 😂
Where's all the rust?
