Hey Scotty,
I’ve got a 2016 Volvo XC90 that needs new rear brake pads. Guess what - it has an electronic parking brake that only a Volvo dealer has the ability to disable to perform the job and the dealer wants $350 for a brake pad job. Car manufacturers are getting unreal!
I bought kyb struts all 4 corners of my Chevy cavalier I love them and they are cheap on rock auto
@@phillipmartin5929 uh
Scotty do you like Detroit axle parts??
Happy Thanksgiving first off. Talking about getting older, for me it is age and turkey gut like the pic. Rofl have a safe and good one.
I went to a different mechanic once because I needed new brakes badly. The mechanic told me that my struts and shocks were extremely warn and are about to fail, long story short I looked at him, grabbed the receipt showed him that I paid for new shocks less than 2 months ago. I asked him to hand me my keys and that I'd be going somewhere else for service, he never said a word. I hate scam artists!!
Try being a woman....they “try” scamming us on all sides. Good thing I know something about cars and I’m not just another pretty face.
@@Callie0715 Unfortunately true, only happens to women and elderly people.
@@janesmith2753 And I belong to both categories, unfortunately. Don’t really look my age but I turned 69 in July.
And it pisses me off
I hate bastards that scam! Karma baby!
I appreciate you sharing this information. My dad was a car expert and was my go to guy before he died. It's great to see you looking out for the consumer.
He is the best. Even my Wife watches him. Hey 5 Million subscriber s. !
Some kids don't ask questions or learn from their dads and regret it when they are gone.
Seeing Scotty walking to the back wall of the garage is crazy.
Hope you live a long and comfortable life, Scotty..
And continue helping us, as long as you're able. You're one of a kind!!
SCOTTY ROCKS 😎😎
And God bless you
Blessings, Scotty and to all the fans. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
My sentiment to you and all Scotty fans
Happy thanksgiving!!
You as well John!
John Miller - same to you, Brother!
Always a bonus to have a grandson on standby
Scottys new neighbors: hey why’s that guy always talking to himself in his driveway? 😂
"Who's he waving to?"
I always tell people to buy the strut kit, with a new coil spring already installed on the new strut if possible. If your strits are shot there's a good chance the coil springs have gotten tired too. Even better, you don't have to mess around with compressing springs. The old ones come off and the new ones go right back on. Saves you a ton of work if you're DIYing it and your car will ride like new!
Yep. I've been installing those for years on my own vehicle and never had any problems. There's always those who want to support the overpriced auto repair industry.
@@jasonwilliams8321 what brand do you recommend that sells the complete strut assembly?
Most quick struts are trash. No one can seem to get the OEM spring rates right. Buying a quality bare strut like in the video is a better way. I buy KYB strut and OEM top mount/bearing. Despite being 15 mind more work it's worth it.
I guess you get what you pay for, I forget the exact manufacturer but when I did all 4 struts/springs on my 97 Outback Sport the kit cost well over $400, it wasn't one of those cheap Fleabay kits. The springs were noticably stiffer but I liked the firmer ride. Did them when I bought the car put 40k on it, suspension was still nice and tight when I sold it.
I'd be proud to have Scotty as my grandpa.
The only mechanic I know who tells people to try and do things themselves... go Scotty!
The ratcheting wrenches are great, but one thing we do different is when I'm breaking nuts, I NEVER use the ratcheting side of the wrench. I always use the solid side to get it loose and then use the ratchet end so I don't damage the ratchet end and prompt premature replacement of that wrench. Love your work, keep it coming !
For a bottomed out Dodge Grand Caravan, the only brand available to me across 11 different distributors was Monroe, so that is what I put into a customers car and now I feel bad... I wish I had seen this video 2 months ago... I watch Scotty, and I apply what I learn from him when I am purchasing parts for customer's cars, and when working with customers and making recommendations. Scotty Kilmer is my Moses of car repair ethics. This channel is like my 10 Commandments of honest car repair. Granted, I am just the manager, and my technicians are very good guys with the same kind of ethics. I really enjoy my job and making customers happy every day. I really appreciate the information available on this amazing channel. THANK YOU SCOTTY!!!
God Bless Scotty!!! Never give up, never surrender!!!

1:21 I'm dead :D
Scotty's humor is so underrated !
Cool to see your grandson out there helping and learning. Great video and very helpful since I’ll be doing my struts, links and control arms on my 07 Honda Pilot. I also settled on kyb struts as well
So refreshing to see an honest mechanic and very knowledgeable & experienced.
I replace my shocks or struts every 100k-150k miles. It makes a big difference in handling and braking. Just replacing the rear shocks greatly reduces nose dive when braking.
It's not even that, An alignment would help with that and a Brake flush just retightening up your suspension some. Rather than replacing it all the time. Will save you money and still have the handling you desire.
From Uganda 🇺🇬 Kilmer is really talented 🙏🏽
hello and thanks!
@Clint Eastwood no they drive hedge hogs.
@Clint Eastwood?????? 😳
@Clint Eastwood what the?
Good Guy Scotty, I love this guy's kind heart, teaching the world about cars and how to get scammed by car dealerships.
I was cracking up when I saw the picture of the dog when you revved the air wrench 😂
Thanks Scotty, I was asking about mine 2 weeks ago and was going to have my mechanic check them. I'm actually in the process of purchasing a 2.5 ton lifting Jack, as soon as I get it that's the first thing it'll be used for.
Great teaching on struts, I appreciate your knowledge. Thank you Scotty
7:25 Scotty has a lot of confidence in those spring compressors. :X Thank you for the info. All your videos have been extremely helpful.
Scotty Kilmer- a classy man for our times. I have learned a lot from you my Brother, and am glad that you are in the Great state of Tennessee!
I love Scotty videos because they’re quick yet packed with information at the same time.
That's because he never takes a breath. 😉
Just changed my front struts on my 1998 4runner.....the shocks weren't leaking but the lower bushing was shredded....if there's a will there's a way!!!👍💪💪
Scotty - love your videos. I have the same spring compressors as you (bought them about 30 years ago). At times I have had trouble tightening them up on the vehicle and found a solution - place a 3" piece of 3/4" or 1/2" pipe between the 2 washers and the sliding end of the compressor and the 2 washers/bolt head end. The effect prevent the threads from running into the top of the strut tower. I've found my spring compressors to be much more useful with this option available. I can use them on the vehicle much more often with things like ball joint replacements. Best of luck!
Scotty, your enthusiasm is refreshing for guys our age. Getting ready to replace the front struts on a 2013 camry. Keep smiling!
I agree with the monroe statement. Ive used sensatracs back in the day and they wore out way too fast.
Thanks for the vid Scotty. I didn’t notice this about my vehicle. So helpful.
always nice to hear from Scotty before doing any project. I am an amatuer and really appreciate your expertise Scotty.
Huge respect to you Scotty. World is a better place with ppl like u in it. 🤝
Best mechanic i know and he doesnt like getting dirty. Lord works in mtaterious ways and has a sense of humor
Its like chefs - their chef's jackets are meant to take abuse. But a chef with a clean jacket shows mastery ;)
I did the strut replacement using the old spring and cap job once. I'll never bother with that hassle again, when I can get quality quick-struts that pop right in. Just don't get the cheap ones and you'll be fine. KYB makes the best after-market. Scotty posted a vid recently about using quality quick-struts.
I just replaced the rear struts on my 98 camry. It was needed as the car was rocking like crazy and would bottom out on my driveway entrance. Did it myself even though I am a amatuer when it comes to cars. UA-cam is an amazing place for step by step overviews.
Great advice. I’ve got to wait a few years before my grandson will be big enough to help but good to see you got yours smiling with you.
Scotty's videos are all good, but this was particularly useful. Very practical information. That job is probably in my future for my new to me 4Runner.
Scotty, you were right on the money about the Monroe’s, shot in less than a year. I should have watched this episode first.
THANKS YOU!!! Ar expensive and was just about to purchase it.. if Scotty said it he is right.. want worth the money.
The clearest speaking and instruction among all channels!
Scotty you're a wealth of practical concise no messing around knowledge 👍
Thank you, saved me $300 I didn't have to spend. I looked at the struts on my 2005 MDX, with 192K on them and they are still going strong.
One of Scotty's most helpful and informative videos.
Honda/Acura uses Showa shocks/struts, which is why they last so long. Also agree that KYB's are great and long-lasting, although if you want them to last forever / the life of the vehicle I would recommend Bilstein HD's.
One more thing I would've mentioned is to BE CAREFUL with that spring compressor and know what you're doing with it, before doing it.
Great video.
made in China spring compressor = widow maker.
Ehh IMHO Bilstien is over priced and their quality has substantially dropped off recently.
Perfect timing , was looking for this specific type of video . Thanks Scotty!
Thanks for looking out for us and saving us money!
wish you good health scotty and more videos to come, you're a legend 😄 believe that!!!
Thanks Scotty. 2007 CH Lancer (down under). The shocks were "gone". The dealer wanted $2440 to replace, $1780 for four shocks $400 for labor, $160 for top mounts and $100 for both seals, they probably would have added extra for the environmental disposal fee as well. Costed me $830 for KBS.
What seals were they trying to sell you? Shock replacement doesn't require any seals to be replaced.
@@treverdrew6993 maybe it was a typo? maybe he meant seats?
I will never get tired saying that you are awesome Scotty.
Scotty speaks the truth! My 2013 Prius has 90k miles and Pepboys guy was telling me i needed shocks on all 4 and it was leaking on the breaks . I went to check them and now added another 10k miles. Please becareful out there folks. Wish i lived near Scotty k! God Bless him for helping us common folk!
Such a clear, easy to understand video even for a beginner DIYer like myself. My 26 year old Volvo is bouncing around like crazy with its original struts and shocks. I bought the car new but only have 145,000 miles on it. I guess time and my city's bad streets have taken a toll.
Struts are supposed to be changed every 50k or so miles
@@ayejay4028every 50k??? Never heard that before. Original struts on all 4 of our vehicles, and they have 201k, 163k, 152k, & 115k miles on them respectively. My trusted repair shop is telling me that the newest one - with the fewest miles of course - now needs a passenger side front one replaced. Watched this video to see if it's something I want to attempt on my own.
Well done Scotty, thank you for the awesome videos!
New fan from Norway here, mister Kilmer.
Thanx for giving people good advice for their cars.
Especialy the part about not go to cheep on parts, but for an everydayrunner, you dont need expencive shochs. Öhlin can supply, but you dont need that kind of quality.
And how you ilustrate with those small pictures of bumpy in the front... 😍👍😂
I drove a Chevrolet Bel Air '57 back in 2008. I guess the original shochs was present. I first noticed on Swedish highway, in around 90 kmh. A smal bump in the road, and the front of the car took forever to settle.
But hey, we did burnouts. ❤ So i hope the car got new back tires and new front shochs, when the owner came home.
Cars needs to live!
The timing on this video was perfect... the left front strut on my 2002 Ford Explorer was leaking and starting to collapse so I ended up having my mechanic change out both front struts with coincidentally... KYB gas filled this past September. While my struts didn't last 386,000 miles like Scotty's, they did last me 278,000 miles and if Scotty is recommending KYB's then I'm feeling darn good about my choice.
struts don't last 386000 miles wether they leak or not they will wear and degrade...KYB nice quality brand but even their standard shock will be harder riding than any factory shock not a quality issue but something you have to be aware of
Thank you for telling the truth Scotty. Love your videos.
Love his videos. I wish all mechanics were as honest as you.
I learn so much from Scotty, thank you!
Thanks Scotty. I wish this video had of been out there last year. I have a 2004 Toyota Sequoia with 283,000 miles that the original shocks (rear) and struts (front) had seized up on. There was barely any dampening from them. Now I did put Monroe OESpectrum on the back last summer and it did offer a much smoother ride, but I also soon after installed cheap Monroe quick struts on the front and the ride is as "stiff" as ever. It rides like a dump truck. I cannot wait to get these swapped out with something else. I want smooth as ride possible. I have have heard that Bilstein offers a smooth ride on these, but not sure. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Keep up the videos. Love watching them.
I like my back ends big yet firm.
Gotta love Scotty.....they don’t make mechanics like they used too....!!!
👍👍👍👍
Thank you Scotty, your channel is a life saver!
I’m learning so much from Scotty. And I love the pop out pics and comments. 😅
ok who's gonna place bets on how long scotty's garage stay' this clean before it turns into the houston garage
It's twice as big, so twice as long and twice the mess.
I give it by next spring lol
My guess 53 years
By summertime will be a mess, maybe till next fall...
Houston garage is a Scotty museum now i bet.
I have Monroe gas magnums on my conversion van and my f150, absolutely love the ride. It made the 1996 Econoline ride like a yacht on the ocean.
KYB gas struts are also great ,I installed a pair on one of my cars back in 1992 & they are still good as new!!!!! Even with a trunkload of heavy tools & 10 traffic cones as well as a full size 2&1/2 gallon water fire extinguisher inside! Definitely recommend KYB shocks & struts
If you want to save you back , when either lifting a heavy tire on or off a vehicle , then use a 3 ft bar under the center of the tire , for leverage , and lift .
I learned this years ago while changing tires on 18 wheelers .
Happy Thanksgiving Scotty, we are thankful for you!
Never had shocks go bad but glad to see this video just in case.
Thanks for showing us how to road test for bad shocks. I knew about the bounce thingie.
Perfect time for thanksgiving now that you’re in Tennessee! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving Scotty!
Is everybody moving to Tennessee? The bus grease monkey moved there too...
Just passed a Chrysler dealership and saw 5 tow trucks pulling in broken down Chrysler’s😂
They're most likely new cars about to go on the lot. Most dealerships don't have the space for unrepaired cars, so it's appointment based.
All Chryslers are not bad. Can not say anything after Chrysler but Not all Chryslers are bad!

hey scotty, I love every episode you put out there, I always look forward to them, I sometimes wander why you're not on regular TV commercials lol
I installed KYB's on my old 4 cylinder Odyssey a while back. The old van handled like a new SUV after the upgrade. When tightening or loosening the spring compressor, put the strut assembly flat on the floor and keep it clear of any obstacles. Nice vid.
What u think about Gabriel Struts?
@@HoweyJR_ junk
@@rafaelmeneses5066 Monroe's?
@@HoweyJR_ KYB are good. Bilstien are also good. The others will work but expect half the life. An oem Lexus or Toyota part can last 100k normal driving or 40-50k in a city environment. You get what you pay for here.
@@rafaelmeneses5066 can you find out for me what struts came with a 2005 Camry?
I love KYBs! Used them on our old 2003 Honda Odyssey, and it rides better then new. Not expensive either.
I worked at kyb last year. Quality control is top of the line here in the USA. Great products come out of the kyb and sister plants
Thanks scotty i had few things to do on my car and your videos came like a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving !
*The Monroe shocks on my XJ Cherokee are 10 years old... still rides great, each to their own* 😊
He said in first of video you get what you pay for. A 30 dollar Monroe gas matic ain't the same as a 100 dollar Monroe Magnum truck shock. KYBs are valved to stiff for me.
@@benthere404 Haven't heard of gas-matics before, perhaps they are marketed under a different name here in Oz, that said I have only ever run Monroes since my first vehicle but preferred the GT Gas product.
Happy to support a locally made product (South Australian factory) 👍
@@benthere404 KYBs are quality, but definitely stiffer.
Have a great Thanksgiving Scotty from Ontario, Canada.
Morning Scotty. Thanks a million times, you are truly a sweet man.
Wonderful video it is really nice to see the family coming in to help.
What happened to your face?
Thanks for being an honest mechanic Scotty. Blessings!
I love your handle, DBC.
Scotty is awesome man. My dad is a mechanic similar to Scotty. I’ve learned more from Scotty in past couple months than I’ve learned from my dad over 25 years. Dads a great mechanic but is very lousy or just lazy about sharing knowledge. I always got the feel from him he just never wanted to take the time.
A lot of mechanics have a chip on their shoulder 😂
Sorry to hear that. In most cases it's the reverse.
Hi Scotty, Great Video as always. Thanks for making all these Videos, I have really learned a Lot from you. 👍👍
Thank you, man, for the advisory of the shocks. Most informative for the common dummy like me. Easy information to digest.
Man you're right about Monroe's. Last pair I bought for my Caddy DHS were more like fixed steel than shocks. Felt like I had no suspension at all. I couldn't get my money back on them. Big run around. I threw them out and bought new soft suspension OEM parts. Nice ride again. They've lost me for life.
same here i had monroe 's installed at all 4 corners of my '92 buick century that i had years ago and the car road as stiff as a brick after that. I kept them on for the remainder of my ownership of that car. The car road horrible from then on.
Same here on a Jeep, had to change for better Shocks after 1,500 Miles. I couldn’t stand the way the Jeep felt with Monroe Shocks!!!!!
I had the shocks replaced on my lexus and the mechanic installed cheap aftermarket EZ struts and car rode like a brick afterwards. Come to find out the OEM is the way to go
As always, good advice from Scotty! Do not buy the cheaply made struts online. I had one fail within 2weeks and customer service was non existent! KYB are decent quality. Fox makes a good product as well if you are into off road.
EXCELLENT!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!
Thanks for the tip. Now I can check by myself.
scotty is getting a ton of mileage out of that old 4runner, huh. lmao
I have one a titan it has over 125 thousand miles but needs schocks

Thanks for all you do!
Careful Scotty! Don't undo the shocks with your legs open like that, while the spring is pointed to the "golden jewelry". 07:28
and while we're at the "don't" section, at least my high-end shocks came with explicit instructions NOT to use an impact wrench to screw the shock nut on, as that can damage the shock. Hand-tool only.
@Unkwon Malaysian Guy yes, it should be. It probably doesn't matter too much, but if you want to be sure you don't damage the shocks before they've had a chance to actually go a single mile, do it the safe way.
@Unkwon Malaysian Guy actually, to clarify, you should _never_ vice-grip the smooth bit of the piston rod. The threaded bit usually has an edge cut out so that you can get a tool around it to stop it from spinning. Gripping onto the actual rod can put dents in it, and that can rip the seals. Using a tool that causes the shaft to rotate can also cause the seals to shear - they're supposed to handle vertical movement, not excessive horizontal rotation. So.. try not to damage your seals when you install a shock :)
@Unkwon Malaysian Guy exactly!
@@peterjohnson9438 Good point, only assemble hardened metal threads with impact wrench ie wheel nuts.
Hand socket set is for safe assembly.
You’re the best Scotty and good to see your grandson lend a hand. Cheers
Always learn something new with Scotty
I do agree, KYB seems to make a superior product when it comes to struts and shocks. However, with that mileage, I would still recommend replacement of the rear shocks (give the customer the option, without trying to scare them into it, of course). Especially if you're installing those Mono tube Gas Adjusts. You may end up with uneven dampening between the front and rear of the vehicle (Both because of the 300,000 plus miles on the rear shocks, as well as, there's a good chance the oem shocks are a twin tube design, for comfort). Mono tube struts/shocks are usually stiffer than twin tube design. Another reason is, sometimes people are willing to spend a little more for a superior product, if given the option. Not everyone is trying to find the "cheap" route. You'll replace the fronts now and maybe in 6 months the shocks fail. The shop may have offered a better labor rate if the customer had done front and rears at the same time. Now he's got to come back at a later date, and pay the full labor. Just my opinion.
My mechanic, well not anymore wanted $1800 for front.... Using China replacements!
1st & last time with that guy since I paid $5680 for 09 ody serpentine belt, timing belt, water pump, front n rear cam seals (no tensioners, idler or pullies ) I wanted new thermostat but they ignored me. New $600 oil pan because dealership stripped the drain bolt last oil change. Valve gaskets replaced & charged additional labor for spark plugs to be replaced with provided plugs which I just found in the glove box so what's in there now?
Holy Cow !
Never bothered to asked if valves had been adjusted! A necessity with these Honda engines. Replaced brakes and rotors (noot necessary) and the new ones are rusting like crazy. I guess cheap crap parts used.
Oh there's more but I'm too stressed thinking about it again oh wait the battery yes the battery my two-year-old interstate just needed a charge I killed it leaving interior lights on. The vehicle was told you them for that reason and I suspected coolant the oil is the Unexplained large amount sludge all over the place which incidentally they never did explain apart phone off not too long prior to that got caught up in the belt and I tried to explain this but they don't listen soo 3
