Suspension noise can be awful! Noise while turning, noise going over bumps, noise while breaking, even noise while driving can all point to suspension issues. In this video we look at a quick suspension noise check, and then replace a complete set of rear struts on a 2001 Toyota. Thanks to ‪@advanceautoparts‬ for being an amazing partner #advancefleet

Remember there is no need to chase Advance Discount codes. You can use "Humble" any time you like and save $$$! Also stack up those speed perks to you can get up to $20 off, rather than $5 at a time. For those of you worried, We are still a primary VW place. But some times you gotta get something fixed. Im happy we were able to get this Toyota fixed. I am concerned that this Toyota broke. I thought those never broke! ;)

@300DBenz 3 года назад

It didn’t technically “break”, a wear-item .... wore out. I’d show you a truly broken Toyota, but the scrap guy hauled it away this morning. 🤷🏼‍♂️

In my experience a totally blown strut is actually one of the most common reasons for suspension knocking right after sway bar links and ball joints. Yanking the tire top, if it moves in and out and knocks like you showed, usually a blown strut. Awesome diagnosis and tutorial!

Couldn’t claim of the local council as the mechanic said it was rusty so wouldn’t write a note saying it was pot hole damage, but only after he did the repair and charged me.

@davidleitch3199 3 года назад

Charles as an experienced VW mechanic did you encounter hesitancy in the dealership when a customer wanted a front diff and transaxle fluids changed. I have a 2011 Touareg VR6 and insisted that they change those “lifetime” fluids. They did not even know how much labor to charge because they rarely do it! The vehicle has 123,000 miles at some point those fluids will fail. I found the experience odd but they did do the work and I think it made a difference.

Thank you for your cool video on struts removal and replacement as I'm having all kinds of issues with my 2010 Dodge Journey SE due to left driver side going over median that's not visible at night which cost me a lot of money on having to pay for labor costs of my struts I had done in 4/2021. And made me lose much money from work being I quit due to everything going wrong mother's day weekend of May 12th, 2023 and I've also had to replace CV axles .. I still need all 4 (3&1) engine mounts, brakes, drums, rotors, on all 4 tires, abs and traction control light came on 3 months ago, and just the other day my airbag light came on. I also need steering gear and or shaft as my alignment is off as they say they can't get it straight .. I've also had rack n pinion replaced, left n right lower control arms replaced.

Nice one, last year I replaced the sway bar end links (drop links in the uk) on my mk5 based vag product, (Skoda) 2 months later the most irritating knock over bumps etc I checked for play in everything loaded and unloaded, in desperation I removed drop links went on test drive - fixed, replaced with TRW and been fine for another 30k, those ones that I took off at 2 months were moog and had in a vice with mole grips a tiny bit of play. Anyway it seems moog in Europe are not the same quality as moog in US, annoying as I like there stuff.

@kingslayer0001 8 месяцев назад

to guys who live in asia. when he says "strut" that means shock absorber. and the source of the noise was a failed / leaking shock absorber. it means that side of the car no longer helps in absorbing impact from bumps and also has a wiggling play in the shaft.

@olenaerhardt7725 2 года назад

2003 Chevy Cavalier alignment shows that Camber Bolts are needed for the front, and EZ-Shims for the rear (to adjust Toe and Camber). I would rather replaced the parts, but don't know for sure which ones. As far as I understood on the front what causes the need for Cam Bolts is bushing, which is worn. So I assume if I replace that bushing I won't need that replacement of original steer-to-knickle bolts for cam Bolts. Bu for the rear I don't know what to replace at all. Thank you for the great film.

@miketeeveedub5779 3 года назад

I'd say that dude definitely got 20 years worth of life outta that strut! I suspect it was knocking for years before it was fixed, considering how badly worn the shaft bushings were. I can imagine how crappy his drivability must've been affected by that. I make a point to check my brakes, struts, shocks, and stabilizer bar-ends on every tire rotation. Maybe this dude should do the same from now on, at least from a safety perspective. He looked kinda young, so that's a good lesson to learn from. Always appreciate a HumbleMechanic video - even if it's not a VW. Cheers!

@matte8441 3 года назад

I’m a VW/Euro owner but I work as a Toyota dealership mechanic so this is an interesting video for me. Specializing in both, I think the VWs have better suspensions, Toyota suspensions can’t seem to stay in one place and my Euro customers (except Mercedes) don’t have that issue. The rear shock is just starting to leak on my all-original 182,000 mile Golf. But for mechanicals, Toyota’s are better as for the most part the components are not in odd places and it’s simpler, a Toyota powertrain can easily reach 500,000 miles with basic maintenance.
