In this video I show you how I replace the front struts on a 2006 Honda Civic. The procedure is the same on each side but the part numbers are different. 2006-2011 Civics should be similar. The exact vehicle in this video is a 2006 Honda Civic EX sedan.

Sadly, after doing this job, got an alignment, and it slightly pulled to the right. 3 alignments later, same results. Did some searches, it's a prevalent issue, lots of reports, no solid answers.

@thecordlesscarpenter7956 4 года назад

Thanks for the video brother, clean and simple! For those that don't know, auto parts store usually have spring compressors to rent that work also... just did it. Easy peasy, super quick maintenance.

@thecordlesscarpenter7956 4 года назад

Also, for installing the piston nut on top (you know, the one you MUST replace (before releasing spring tension) without grabbing onto the piston itself and ruining your new strut, use a 1/2" drive deep well socket (my new one was a 19mm I believe), and since you can't stick a regular ratchet on there, just grab onto the outside of the deep well socket with a pair of vise grips and stick your Allen driver through the socket's drive hole. If the center of the piston on the new strut (or old one for that matter) does not receive an allen wrench but instead takes a regular socket (like my new ones), just stick a 1/4" drive socket on it (in my case it was a 9mm) right on the end and then put your big nut socket on OVER the small 9mm socket and stick a 1/4" extension through the nut socket's drive hole to engage the 9mm socket. Its a great work around and even ratchets! (assuming you use a 1/4" drive ratchet). Hope that helps the next guy.

@thatpointinlife 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video. My '06 Civic sedan likely needs new front struts. The right front makes a clunking noise going over any bumps, even small ones. This doesn't look terribly difficult or time consuming, especially when using a complete replacement strut. Both the dealership and a local independent have now quoted me at over $1,400 for replacing both front struts and alignment. The Honda dealership will be using OEM, which of course costs more than AMP, but the independent shop is only $60 less for KYB's, but they're saying I'd need new mounting brackets, bellows(?), and bearings. I can't even imagine what bearing there is to replace! What's a fair price I should be expecting to pay for replacing both front strut assemblies, as I don't have the tools or confidence to do this myself. Thank you

@BigDog50001 5 лет назад

When you buy complete strut assemblies they come with all of that stuff, bellows, upper mounts, bearings, springs etc. On this Civic, you can buy complete assemblies from either Honda (online $350 each) or KYB (online $125 each), but the bolts/nuts that should be replaced would need to be purchased separately. As far as installation costs, it varies by region and shops generally charge the fee based on their hourly rate ($75-$150 per hour is the norm) x how long the job should take. If a shop replaces the entire strut assembly the shop should charge less labor per side than if they have to replace the strut with a spring compressor like I showed in this video. An alignment would be another labor charge (typically an hour). If you live in the rust belt, an additional charge for dealing with older rusty fasteners would be appropriate. $1,400 seems about the norm for a dealership but seems a bit overpriced for an independent shop especially if they are using aftermarket parts, at least in my opinion.

@thatpointinlife 5 лет назад

@@BigDog50001 Thank you so much. I was just watching your video on checking for a broken engine mount- lol. The car seems to drive just fine. There's little to no dive or body roll when braking or turning. When I push up and down hard on the front end, there's no noticeable slop or softness in the suspension. The alignment is a tiny bit off, though. I can't find anywhere that says that a clunking noise is associated with worn or bad struts, but ball joints, yes. Looking over the dealer inspection report, it seems as though a tech just test drove it and heard the clunking noise, and decided I needed all new struts just based on that. I know they rotated the tires as part of a basic service, but no mention of actually checking for looseness or damage anywhere while they had it up and the wheels off. They just wanted to charge me $1,400 to replace the struts w/o actually positively identifying the source of the passenger side clunking noise.

@timsager6153 3 года назад

You can do the strut replacement yourself. Alignment is another thing. You are getting f----d.

I just replaced both my struts on my 06 Honda Civic LX Sedan. I did half of these steps and my process was faster but I had to come watch this to double check I installed mine correctly. If you know what your doing it shouldn’t take more than 10-15 minutes per strut. Edit: I took off both windshield wipers and the black cover he’s working under. For whoever is reading this don’t take off the bolts from the top like he is. If you know what your doing you can take off that whole black panel up on top and work with a ratchet and extension way easier and faster.

@BigDog50001 4 года назад

If I did not show it in the video, then they were not replaced. If I remember correctly, they were not bad on this car at that time and it saved the owner money by not replacing them. If money is no object, then sure I would have replaced them too.

@theurzamachine 4 месяца назад

Why is it necessary that the suspension be put under load before the lower strut bolts are torqued? What happens if it is done without any load?

@waynetanner1749 Год назад

Excellent video as always. KYB (Kayaba) is a Japanese company bought by Yamaha which owns 33.4% stake in KYB. But KYB Americas with manufacturing facilities in the USA and Mexico are where most of the struts come from for the North America market. Japan focuses on quality and refinement and it is considered shameful culturally to make crappy products and so Japan thrives i making quality parts. Not the case for China which focuses on profits and could care less about making quality parts.
