Thanks for the video. The process is shockingly easily (pun intended).

I attempted to install new rear shocks on my daughter's 2015 Honda Fit just this morning and I could not remove the two lower bolts. I used penetrating oil, a breaker bar, a mallet, and an impact wrench. They would not budge and I was afraid I was going to snap them in two. (02/18/23)

Make sure you tighten the bolts and nuts down once the suspension is under load

Fuck the torq wrench. Im gun run it down with my Milwakee stubby on power setting number 2 and let off the gas when shes tight. It will be very close to 20 ft lbs. Same for the bottom but she will be on power 3 and nice and tight about 50-60 ft lbs. I like to go by feel unless im doing a cylinder head. Then i will break out my torq wrench.

Can you make a video about the Window control panel? And how to fix when a window falls off the motor? (If that makes sense?)

What happens if the bushing was put upside down ?? Will it mess up the shock ?

My 2013 FIT needs 2 new struts up front and 2 new shocks in the rear. Still waiting for money!

Nice vid. Just go with a different brand.

Can’t really torque it… they make attachments for this.
