Honda HRV Damper Replacement

Obscene quote.

[johnstark]

Just a heads up, we bought a 2016 hrv, it was pre owned but a great vehicle....I noticed and pointed out to the salesman that there was a knocking noise coming from the rear, we bought the car anyway with the agreement that they would fix this issue, we took it back after a couple weeks and the service guy told us there was a recall on the rear struts, so they replaced them, all the noise went away, then returned after only a couple months, turns out, when they replaced the struts that were defective, they put the same (new) defective struts back on it, so after replacing them a couple times, they finally got the good upgraded struts on it, we have been ok a couple years now, however, now the fronts have gone bad now 😩

I know exactly what you’re saying you’re in Illinois. My wife’s friend went to the Honda dealer. He wanted to sticker for $1400 to install shot in the rear that’s ridiculous. I can’t believe it. Thank you for the information.

Thanks, easily done. I could not get the 'boot assembly' off of my shocks, I had to remove the rubber boot to get to the metal stopper assembly inside and tap it with a hammer to get it to come off. Even though I live in California there was a bit of corrosion holding it firm. After that mine was exactly as yours. Thanks - Saved me $600.00

over the years I've stepped up quite a few times to help family members who were about to get soaked
not much skin off my back and meant a lot to them

How do you remove the damper mounting comp from the shock absorber rod....it comes out by pulling it upwards???

[timromano]

Does the top nut have to be tightened to a specified torque?

[carsonnguyen]

How did you get the dust covers off the old ones? I’m having a rough time :(

[esmoov]

Tires plus tried charging me $600 for shock absorber replacement. Thanks for the guide. Shall be doing mines for 75% cheaper

[greenzonetv]

Can you help me where to get this manual?

[belfastboy]

I don't think there is much to be gained pumping the shocks the wrong way up. The idea is to get the fluid to the bottom where it is required to act against the plunger inside using gravity to allow the fluid(or gas) to fall. The reason we do this is because they have been stored and transported in a horizontal position. The shock will become notably stiffer following a couple of pumps if performed on the orientation as intended for use.

How did you get the top metal part off the original shock????

[panthers]

How did you get the dust cover off the old strut? Simply pull it or what? Currently stuck getting those parts off.

I have a honda vezel hybrid car rear tires both out of camber. Is their possiblity to correct it.

Awesome video.. Wouldn't happen to have a video of doing the front as well would ya?? And yeah the dealership is a rip off.. They wanted $1300 for a drive shaft and almost the same amount for labor.. Found a shaft on ebay that only had 4, 000 miles on it and a family friends garage only charged $75 to install it..

[Hardenth]

[mr_hototo]

[johnnylee]

Hope someone can help. How do you remove the damper mounting comp that's on the old damper?
