Some advice to you: when doing any work on suspension it’s much better to always lift the vehicle evenly on both sides and on jackstands, with the floor jack acting as a security support. Very important so you don’t risk getting your arm broken by a returning sway bar. Never rely on a floor jack alone.
They are away bar end links I have done lots of them and never ever lifted the whole front end. It's a very simple job,
3:06 Thanks for stating the nut/bolt sizes. That's a huge time saver.
Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback.
Thanks Matt for this video!! You saved me so much money!! I changed mine the other day and just from watching your video!
( I am also a woman with no auto experience❤)
That is so nice to hear! That is my aim with these videos that even people with no experience will be able to follow them and complete the job. Thank you for your feedback.
Whaaaaaaaat? That's amazing. I'm not sure if I have the guts to try this!
I love you for making this, this is my repair for tomorrow. Bless you brother thanks
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that. Good luck with your repair.
@@CarswithNash it looks way easier then I thought, was expecting to need to remove the rotors but thankfully not on the Hyundai
Great video Matt, can’t beat a good old strut replacement. 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yes it didn’t go to bad in this vehicle and drives much nicer now.👌
Awesome video! Thanks.😊
Thanks for this. Easy to follow!
Great to hear!(-:
Thanks Matt, I was able to change mine out with the help of your video!
Great to hear, thanks for the feedback.
Nice video. Very good, practical instruction for non-professionals.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you this helped me as you are good at this training now off to repeat what you did at this time. PS you are AWESOME.
Thank you very much, that’s nice to hear!(-:
Great video thanks for your help
Almost forgot to give u a thumbs up. I'm fixing the car today and from your tips, I think I'll be fine.
Thanks for that! And thanks for your feedback, I always enjoy hearing the videos have helped people.
Nice work bro all the facts needed and straight to it. Hate all this fluff nowadays on this platform.
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that.
Great Video!
Thanks!(-:
Very nice video. Thank you.
Great to hear, thanks for commenting.
Good tutorial video please.make more video in this suv. ❤
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I no longer own the vehicle actually.
Great video
Thanks!(-:
finally did strut replacement today along with brake pads & rotors . this video helped big time. my sway bar links didn't have flats on them, what a PITA to get that nut off .
Yeah those end links are always annoying regardless, especially if they are rusted up.
next time I'll just buy new & replace them
Thanks✊
Thanks Matt, what a great video and didn't miss a step. Finally got a video that shows step by step instead of having you guess what to do in-between steps. 🤣
I'm a follower now, have a great day and thanks for the great instructional video.👍
Thanks, I really appreciate hearing that!
Great video! I like that you are clear on what to do and don’t rush. We have to change one on my moms 2010. Depending on cost we may not replace both at the same time. I’m going to look up the company you bough yours from. Going to subscribe, thank you!
Thanks I really appreciate that feedback and the subscription. I do understand trying to save money but I would really recommend against replacing just one strut, there will be a difference between them and it could affect how the vehicle handles an evasive maneuver.
Some advice here: never change only one side, the ride will definitely feel uneven and you could break more components along the way ending up costing more money.
Thanks!
Thank you! I really appreciate the super thanks.
thanks for the video its perfect
Happy to hear.(-:
How do these shock absorbers work for you? I showed them to the mechanic and they didn't last
@@donju3001 They seem equivalent to the originals, I’m happy with them.
Because of you I'm going to do my car. Thanks!!
That's nice to hear. I appreciate the feedback.
This is dejavu or something..
My son ...Matt.... changed his out last week. I asked him to order me a set got 290000 on the 2022 santa and it feeling sift.
Hes going to help with mine.. my matt and you kinda look a bit alike.. I had to do a double take.
Job well done
Sounds like a good son, must be something in the name!
Bought Monroe from Amazon. If I have an issue, well back to Amazon I go. Gotta love it
That’s where I bought these also, they were cheap but seem pretty good quality.
@@CarswithNash my brother-in-law went thru 5 sets of the no name kind from rock auto. I don't get his thinking. Why fix something that many times. Just buy quality parts of you do your own work ya know.
Great video 👌
Thanks!😊
My top strut mount has rusted through and the shock has broken through into the engine bay. So I’m going to have to find a way to compress the spring before I can remove the shock as the spring is now pressed against the vehicle
@michaelbrown17 That's some serious rust! You can buy strut spring compressors really cheap, like $20 on Amazon and you might not be able to get them both in there on the vehicle, but even one should pull it down enough to get it out.
Matt will we need to have the wheel alignment done afterwards? I need to replace the sruts on an 08 Santa Fe
I have a question....whag would the torque specs be on the 3 nuts of the strut on top?also would you happen to know where i could find boots for the inner tie rods?i got some but they were small
Hey Man, I am looking for some kyb front coil overs, and monomax for the rear and I guess the matched quality or match for the monomax..i know the excel g and the reg coilovers are available for my 09 3.3l gls Awd, but I want the gas to adjust for the higher end monomax can you find them anywhere online or, in the world that fit 07-12?
Hi. What were the symptoms? My santa fe has too much body roll and seams a bit to harsh at city. 2009 gls model.
Have you done a video on a power steering pump for 2007 hyundai sante fe 3.3l?
I can't find any good videos on that.
Sorry I have not.
Hey, did you have to purchase L and R struts, or are they interchangeable?
I used KYB quick-struts and the torque specs were a lot less on the strut rod nuts and the mount nuts, FYI
Thank you for the video, the strut i orderd had FR and FL, i was wondering its FR driver side or passenger side?
FR =‘s Front Right, so passenger side and FL is Front Left. That is an unusual way of labeling. Sorry for the late response.
Hi Matt, thanks for the great video consider me subscribed!
I'm wondering if you know how these struts are holding up 5 months later? I found them online and the price seems too good to be true.
They worked well for me, I see no issue with them. Also Auto Shack actually stands behind their products really well, if you have any issues they will make it right.
Great video Matt. Is a wheel alignment necessary after replacing the struts?
I didn’t worry about it and my steering wheel stayed on centre, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea, my tires are due for replacement and I plan on aligning it again before I put new ones.
@@CarswithNash Thanks Matt.
How have these autoshack struts held up?
I sold it about six months after I put them in but they were fine for me during that time. I bought quite a few of their parts for that vehicle and was happy with them all, had one tiny mixup and customer service was amazing.
Did you notice the arrow on the top old mount.. Im not sure where it suppose to be pointing
I did not notice, (or if I did I’ve forgotten since) but the arrow probably points to be outside, the top of the strut tower is not flat, so it needs to match that angle.
You forgot to torque the top nuts with the vehicle wheels on the ground
Better to line them up with the dust marks from the originals which is what I did.
Great vid bro. But 1 thing 80lbs on a aluminum wheel? I thought it was 120 area.
That is what the spec is, I have looked it up from multiple sources. That’s why I’m always sure to double torque, I test drive it and then retorque.
@@CarswithNash wow even my tire pros use 2 impact stick steelies and alumies. 60 and 120. Wierd I live in Canada may e it's a metric thing lol. Pretty work with way brother. My 2012 has 110kms not miles on it and Hyundai said it needs struts which is a complete cash grab cause it drives like new and not 1 clunk clang or ping. Or double bouncing down the highway. I think I got another 50k in them. But that's what I do when I buy a used car I take it to the dealer and then use that as a bargaining tool. Sante fes are at the top of the heap in terms of repair cost over the 2st 10 years. Kia and Hyundai are #1 where Toyota is 5rh and Honda is 8th. Boy have they come along way. Love to see a good tranny service vid from ya. It's something I wanna do in the next few months. I had a 2103 Veracruz and that was a even nicer unit bought it for 6500 Canadian pesos drove for 40k and sold for 13500
@@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884 The actual spec is like 65 to 79 ft lbs, there was a big discussion about this on the Santa Fe group on Facebook and I remember someone actually calculated it based on the stud size and 80 is correct, 120 might actually be damaging the stud… Personally I do clean and oil my threads, I have had some criticism because Lugnuts are supposed to be torqued dry, but since I also live in Canada (Alberta) the rust and corrosion really affects that so if you torque it dry you might not be getting it tight enough imo, it might just be binding up on rust and corrosion. I was about 150,000kms when I changed these struts. Glad you are having good luck with your Hyundai, they do seem to hold up pretty good for the first 10 years, 100,000… but then they start to fall apart at an alarming rate like mine was doing, easily the worst vehicle I have ever owned! I have sold it so sorry there will not be any more Hyundai videos.
@@CarswithNash really tourque dry . We learned in mechanics school to always use anti seize
@@CarswithNash good thing I lost my stock wheels and got the grt1 wheels. The snow white pearl with the black wheels it looks pretty slick
Is this the AWD version? or FWD?
AWD
@@CarswithNash Thank you Great video!
Should be exactly the same procedure, it’s even pretty common on most cars
Great video
Thanks!(-:
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks, I really appreciate it.
