Good video visually for the model year you are working on. The 2014-2015 Kia Sorento LX FWD has the exact same design for the rear shock mounts. This is the only video I've seen that shows the four point bracket that shields the upper shock mount. You don't have to remove the entire wheel well sound proofing panel though. It has a vertical slip in the fabric that provides access to the top 17 mm bolt. There are two plastic philips screw clips that you can remove on either side of the vertical slit that when removed you can pull the fabric apart slightly to remove that bolt. Also the anchor bolt that attaches the top of the shock is a 24 mm deep socket. I use a battery pack impact wrench to do any fastening and unfastening of bolts and nuts or if need be s breaker bar. Those tools really speed up the process.
And as a really important precaution always use jack stands when working in proximity of the underside of a vehicle and never count on a trolley jack because if it rolls there's no stopping it from shifting the vehicle which always has very bad outcomes.
Thank you so much for putting out this video and I hesitating I am doing this right now I stopped right before you go to the big bolt on top of the shock and I had a 15/16’s on there but was doubting it What is the right size so now I’m just having to losing it it’s so freaking tough…lol 😆
One of the previous comments calls it a 24 mm. That might actually be the right size.
Well that was impressive in changing the shock! My left one is leaking and they want 550 bucks to do it. I don't know the price of the shock but I do know the price of labor. You did it in, lets just say, one hour. So I want to understand why it costs so much? Great video and thank you for putting the time into making it. I'm not a golfer, but that unit looks great for golfers. Thank you.
The shock will probably run you about $50 online. Sounds like doing it yourself will save you $500. Use that to buy some tools to do this job and all the following jobs. They charge so much because people will pay it.
Nice job! How did you depress the strut? And where did you find that info. Looking for it myself
I use the auto shop on base because I'm retired Navy. There are plenty of videos that show you how to do it. Search "compress strut". These tools can be borrowed from AutoZone or a store like it. Be very careful because it's very dangerous if you don't do it right.
Did the car symptoms before changing them?
Yes, there was a vibration as if the tires were out of balance.
@@therangeproteeguy7842 did you earn any rattling or cluncking?
No, there were no other symptoms on my car.
Guessing that top bolt is actually 24mm. There's a .007" difference between that and a 15/16. Thanks for the walkthrough, I need to do this on mine here shortly. I too got the insane quote of $550 for the pair from a freaking Midas (it was even more from the dealership). A pair of shocks is $110 from RockAuto. No way that job costs $440 in labor.
I'll bet it took me less than an hour to do them both. Glad to be of assistance.
@@therangeproteeguy7842 Okey dokey! So I got around to doing the shocks on mine a couple weeks ago, and I have some notes for those interested:
The vehicle shown in this video is a 2013 Santa Fe Sport, and the teardown is a little bit different than a 2013-2018 Santa Fe. It's actually easier on the larger Santa Fe. The inner fender liner doesn't need to come out, and the 4 bolts/cover plate over the top of the shock doesn't exist on the larger model. The top bolt is, as I initially guessed, 24mm. It is very easy to get at the brake hardware while you're in there, so if yours are getting worn, might as well do them at the same time. Tax and shipping included, brakes and shocks on both sides cost $250 and an afternoon of my time. Compare that (before tax) to $1100 at Midas or $1400 at the dealership.
For those looking to cut through the confusion of Hyundai's naming scheme for this generation of models, it breaks down as follows:
2013-2018 Santa Fe Sport, 2019 (ONLY) Santa Fe - 2 rows, 5 seats, 4 cylinders
2013-2019 Santa Fe, 2019 (ONLY) Santa Fe XL - 3 rows, 7 seats, 6 cylinders
(Yes, Hyundai actually bothered to rename both models for one whopping year before they discontinued the larger one to replace it with the Palisade.)
There may be some differences in how each model is torn down (especially drivetrain components).
@@geoffreyreuther5260 Thanks for all the info, I appreciate you taking the time to do this.
REALLY UNSAFE RELYING JUST ON THAT HYDRAULIC JACK WITHOUT A JACK STAND OR BLOCKING UP THE CAR. SAFETY FIRST PEOPLE.
There is a jack stand. Thanks for looking out tho.
And yet he is still alive
