It was nice of Hyundai to place the rear spring separate from the shock. Usually its inside and more difficult. This car is pretty easy to work on and much appreciated by the DIY crowd.
Got both left and right done within a short time, no issues whatsoever thanks to this video.
Thank you.
Thanks for the vid. I was able to replace them and used the same struts you recommended. The shaking finally stopped and it feels stable. Great job guys
Do not use RED thread locker. If you ever need to disassemble those parts again, you will need torch to heat the part to at least 500 degrees F to get them apart again. Those bolts should not need any thread locker if they are torqued correctly, but if you still want to use some, use the BLUE thread locker.
I agree, the only thing I put red on is the steering joint retaining bolt because they usually call for it.
These dudes are an absolute Godsend. Doing repair and maintenance on the obscure (compared to your civics and corollas ) Korean brand that is just now becoming much more common and somewhat competitive with bigger brands
You guys have saved me so much money! The shop time here (small mechanic shop) is 110.00 an hr. With a hoist you can replace rear shocks in 15 minutes. On the ground it takes a little longer. Still worth saving the 110.00. Like paying yourself.
Thanks. Saved me tons of money not going to have a mechanic do it. I have a 2007 elantra with 190k on it. Made a difference.
excellent video. Thanks for pointing out the safety issue of supporting the spring before removing the shock.
Can you make a video on replacing the front struts on Hyundai Elantra? Thanks to your videos I have DIY'ed so many repairs and maintenance on my 2012 Elantra. Love your channel!!!
I have a 2014 Elantra. I did it myself. What a difference! I enjoy driving my car again! Thank you for posting this video. Keep it up !
It full fixed or the problem is again here but not so much?
mas estable ? comodo ?
Any issues removing the top bolt?
Great how-to video. I'm an idiot with cars, and after watching your video, I felt like even I could do this.
the end of your star tire wrench fits all these too and is good leverage for top one
Thank you very much for sharing. You saved me 300$. 👍👍👍
Great video! Thanks for showing how easy the task is. Do you have a video on replacing the front struts for the same car? Thanks very much and Toodles!
Good video just bought a 2003 Elantra GT really stiff ride probably OEM shocks in the back, great little car though.
Man thank you for the video I have 2014 kia forte but it is same shock installation.
Thank you dude, I did it on my Veloster, its the same stuff
Hey guys thank so much for the video they help me alot
Hello from Canada, do you recommend using shock absorber bellows when installing these? Curious if exposure to ice and salt would warrant this?
Nice vids bro. I have question I put lowering spring today. And then I realized I put the bump stop upside down on the front driver side. Would this be a problem?
I own that same Hyundai Elantra, but a 2013 model. Do you have the video on replacing the front struts??
I already replaced my rear shocks by myself like in that video!
do you know what size is the square nut on the other side where the upper bolt of the strut goes in ? mine needs a replacement. it’s stripped
Great video. Helped me replace the rears in my 13 Elantra Limited at 70k miles. Not only did I have the wandering/bouncy/out of control rear in turns like you mention, but the OEM crappy shocks actually cupped my tires severely after only 15K miles from the poor damping. basket ball effect. I hope these shocks (and new tires tomorrow) solve the problem, because I'm not replacing tires every 15k miles. Why would they offer suck crappy shocks from the factory? I used the torque specs for the shock bolts and did not use loctite...kinda useless with all that WD40 over the bolts, and you shouldnt need loctite if you torque them to 87 ft./lb.
Thank you so much for making this video, I will be ordering the same shocks you did for my 2013 Elantra
💕God Bless
Hi Romanita I just purchased this car and want to do the same thing. How did it go for you (if you dont mind me asking)? I hope you have been safe and hopeful during these times. God Bless!
@@prodigaldaughters7884 heyyyy :)
Yes i order them and installed the same exacts shocks.... my car drives so much better, you should use these also.... they are way cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else
@@TEXASBABYDOLL13 Perfect 💙 Thank you soooooooo much!!
Thanks for your videos.
Another great video. Thanks
Thanks for the vid
Please make more i love your channel
I do not have a hoist. Can I replace the shocks on my 2010 elantra along with the upper mounts? when I can only raise the car about 12 " off the ground. Other wise I would have to pay someone the labour. The problem is that I may not be able to remove the bolts holding the upper mounts. That is the problem. Any answers? Thanks
Good job, nice and easy 👍
Nesecito reparar la transmisión manual del elantra... 2014
i like your videos! keep it going!
I have a 2017 Elantra SE and when I hit the KYB Shock link in the description it says "This part will not fit your 2017 Hyundai Elantra"
Thanks!!
I did mine yesterday. It does make a big difference. They are $100 each.
Thanks you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
do you have 2 channels with the same videos? World mechanics and auto repair guys?
When you buy this from Amazon, does it come with the pair or is it sold individually?
Can u do a video to show me how to clean the MAF sensor please
Excellent class body; kind regards from Panamá.
Hello friend, could you tell me how are those amorous, soft or hard?
What is part number of that KYB shock so that i would get the right shock online
Hola de Panamá... Megustaria tener el manual de reparación del Hyundai Elantra 2014..Gracias.... Quien me lo puede vender
Thanks for sharing your videos my friend..I have a question: What would be the proper torque for Sprak Plugs on a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring?..Thanks again.
The repair manual says 15-21 ft/lbs. I just did mine recently and split the difference at 18 ft/lbs. Do NOT use anti-seize either.
Sorry, I missed that you have a touring. Mine is a GLS stick...disregard.
I change it but it didn’t help We have to change the axle bushing this is with the Dealership recommend and they did update for the bushing
When you're going to work on a hyunday veloster ? I noticed all you work on is Alantras...
Have someone changed rear bushing. On torsion?
How do these handle vs the oem? Wanting to change main out but still undecided on which ones to order! Thank in advance for a reply sweetie..
I just did it and it took 30-40 minutes tops. Very simple. As far as driving, the car is much more steady and stable on turns. I have been testing it by accelerating rapidly around the u-turns under overpasses near my house. It handles noticeably better. For the price of two shocks and 30-40 minutes, it is well worth it.
is more stable ? in curve?
When you pull out the shocks you keep referring to them as struts. Are you accidentally using them interchangeably? I'm trying to figure out if this is a video about changing struts or shocks.
connect the top first when reinstalling. Makes life a lot easier =P
NOTE: Please, DONOT Use to LOSE Tire NUTS with a TORQUE WRENCH. USE, spray lubricant let it set for few minutes. Then lose nuts with a BREAKER BAR.
This is a GOOD VIDEO keep it up.
Sincerely, Mr. Jaime V.
Red loctite seems a lil excessive on the bolts. Blue maybe.
What do you prefer for rear shock absorbers- Monroe or KYB
I'm gonna replace mine soon. Just got the 2013 elantra month ago and the rear is really not stable. It's not safe at all
Looked easy except could not remove top bolt. the rubber bushing would not let the bolt turn and spent almost three hours trying to get it out. Ended up having to take to shop to have it done. Took them two mechanics, melting the bushing off the bolt and vice grips to get it out. Also had to rethread the bolt.
That was my problem too , put wD -40 I waited a few mins and came out nicely
Thanks for share it!!
Please tell me the shock model for fronts. Thanks
Front has struts.
Absolutely remarkable content ❤️🔥💯💯
I was able to take the shocks out but i cant seem able to put it back on any help ?
😹
Al parecer los amortiguadores traseros son hidráulicas. Los delanteros son a gas. Alguien a cambiado traseros a gas?
They wanna charge me $300 for that!! Might as well do it myself! Thanks for the video, very helpful!
That's not a bad price if you are not used to working on your car. It is an easy job if you have the tools.
Yeah and they pay some kid 15$ a hour to do it too so sick of shop rates and how they use a computer with loaded hours for charges but not actual time biggest rip off in the world it really doesn’t take that much equipment nor knowledge to do most auto repairs I maintain my elantra and my duramax classic with CZcams and for the most part a socket set….I really don’t understand the rates these shops charge people sometimes it’s a 150-200$ job but of course they wanted 3 and that’s likely American more like 400 Canadian here haha
Are the kyb better than monroe shocks?
Yes kyb are better but more stiff. Monroe are the bottom of the barrel but almost every part store has them. If you are looking to save money go with gabriel not monroe.
How in the heck did you get it up there???
The shocks were replaced, not the strut.
First you don't use a torque wrench in the reverse direction unless it is calibrated for it. The second thing is you don't use a torque wrench for loosing nuts / bolts!!!
Just and FYI never use a torque wrench to loosen anything can mess the calibration up
I think he's trolling. He used the TQ wrench to loosen the lug nuts, then used the breaker bar to tighten the shock fastener and never TQ'd it.. haha Doesnt makes sense.
What calibration? So dumb 🤦♂️
does this fix the problem?
I changed my hyundai elantra 2013 limited editon with KYB shock but the same thing it goes right and left specially in curved
You'll have to take it to an alignment shop and get the rear toe adjusted with shims
@Jonathan A I know it is, Mr. CZcams engineer. There are shims that you put behind the rear hubs that can change the toe. If you look up rear alignment for 2012 Elantra on Google, there are forums explaining how people have made their own shims or took it to alignment places that have shim kits. If you put enough shims and make the toe bear zero, the rear won't move. However the alignment graph will show red.
@Jonathan A Wasn't being rude. Was just trying to inform.
@Jonathan A I could have called you worse, but I didn't. I apologize for hurting your feelings. Not cause I mean in it, just cause you're still upset about it.
You sit like a real slav 😁
That long bolt keeps spinning and won’t thread out
I bet it's on the passenger side??
@@timg5411 Yes, did you ever see a fix for this?
@@matthewroseen7453 I broke that weld piece off the back side and air hammer the bolt out then used a 26mm wrench to hold the square nut to tighten the bolt back up
For those that wanna do it exactly this is the torque spec. Rear shock bolt to body = 101.3~115.7
Rear shock nut to rear carrier = 72.3~86.8
Thanks for posting these, however without the units of measurements these numbers are dangerous.
Rear shock bolt to body is 98.1 ~ 117.7N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8lb-ft)
Rear shock nut to rear carrier is 98.1 ~ 117.7N.m (10.0 ~ 12.0kgf.m, 72.3 ~ 86.8lb-ft)
Here is a link for your own reference...www.hemanual.org/replacement-1719.html
101-115? SHIT, THAT IS TOO MUCH.
Buy the Factory Shocks
KYB sucks
The ones for my Car were Sachs
Big difference also in getting ones made for your car than ones that fit your car
Sway bar bushings are big deal on these cheap cars as well
I don't know about you but those springs make me nervous lol
Do not buy KYB unless you have to or at least not from Amazon !
I put two KYB in my car
And they blew out in 5 months
And shot fluid everywhere
I just put in monroes last week
i just ordered two KYB's for my wife's car... :(
I bought Monroes for my car. One blew out 3 months later.
THEY GAVE TORQUE FOR THE TIRE LUG NUTS BUT FORGOT COMPLETELY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: TORQUES FOR THE BOLTS. WOW. THUMB DOWN.
I don't like this video because at the end he doesn't show us how to lower the vehicle what a sham ...
Thanks!
