How to replace the rear strut assembly on a Chevy Malibu 

Sr. you explained everything perfectly, now I feel confident that I myself can do the same procedure on my own malibu 2007. Thanks to people like yourself lots of us can do the mechanical work on our cars without having to spend hundreds of dollars to get our cars fixed. Thank you very much for your video and time.

Your going to have a huge library of helpful videos for generations of DIY'er to come. Your work is appreciated now and for ever!

Great Work Jim! I like how you lined up the bolt holes with a screwdriver. This is an important step. Their is no need to beat the crap out of the bolts when the bolt holes can be lined up with a screwdriver or punch. Their are alot of details that you teach that would allow for someone to become a better mechanic. The problem today is some people do not want to listen and act like they know it all.

Good video, it’s one thing having this information in the Haynes manual but it’s nice having the visuals before going ahead with the work. 👍

Very nice step by step really well explained. Thanks

VERY thorough instructions! I DO BELIEVE that I can save myself some $$ by replacing my own ('02 Malibu) struts!!! Thank you do much for posting this vid and sharing your knowledge 😊🔧❤

Great video, thanks! I have to replace both rear struts and I'm feeling much better about it now, doesn't look too bad.

Thanks for the A.B.C on strut removal

Great video Jim.

Great videos!!

Great video man

Brilliant!

Great video, thank you!

Thanks so much for the vedio...😉

Hi Jim: I just watched your video on replacing the rear strut on a 2003 Chevy Malibu. Very informative. I have a 2003 Malibu which has a clunking noise in the right rear whenever I drive over any small or large bump in the road. I suspect it is the strut mount but I'm not sure. What do you recommend I check?

Nice one Jim.

Awesome thanks very informative

hey jim, back in the ,60s I spent nearly 8 hr tryind to get those 2 bolts off because of rust and rounded head, no power tools. luv your videos and also eric o from south main auto. stay safe.

I can’t seem to find that assembly for rear. Only shock absorbers. Can you give part number on that ?

Hi Jim, As always you do excellent work. Jim I have 2002 Buick LeSabre. It's making a sound everything my son Ride's the back seat. It has air shocks on it. Can I replace the air shocks with strut's like that? If I do. Will this cause a check engine light to come on? Or do you recommend I replace with air shocks? I think my air compressor is still working. I hear something kicking on and off back there every few minutes. Sorry to ask you so many questions. Thanks for everything. A great video.

Is an alignment necessary after replacing the front and rear struts on my 2001 Chevrolet Malibu?

Do you have a video on replacing the Front Struts? Great Video by the way!!

it would be helpful for you to put the year of thd car in the title that way when searching for it, it can save me time

Would be helpful if supplied socket sizes.

Sensational

Would like to see if you can replace the ignition on a 2011 Malibu

What did you mean line the bolt up before you tighten it down?.Thanks In Advance

I like the video on replacing the struts can you make a video on how to replace the front stabilizer bar on the same vehicle 1997 through 03 Malibu👍👍

I know you said older but what year model is the Malibu?

2001 Chevy Malibu is the car

Deare Einstein Jim. Thanks for sharing. But to all. " older " is not a year !!!!

Those quick struts are time savers,take the old strut assembly and put in the new strut assembly.Best to replace them in pairs.

Air tools are slowly going away. Battery impacts are great

It's terrible the amount of rust you guys up north have to deal with. When are cities and counties going to phase out the use of salt on roads?
