- Daihatsu Mini Truck, Changing the Struts. This is a 1990 Daihatsu Hijet Mini Truck. The suspension in the front was bouncy and would bottom out. We decided to install new front Struts and see if that fixed the issue.If this did not fix the issue ,we were going to get new springs. The struts seemed to fix the issue for us. I also noticed this Daihatsu mini truck had a lift kit on it as well. The only real issue I had in changing the Struts was that my spring compressor did not want to work on such a small spring. I had some stuff on hand so I quickly made a set of spring compressors. I do not suggest everyone make tools like this, as Your Safety could be at risk.The springs on the struts are very dangerous and could cause serious injury or even a life. If making a tool do it at your own risk. After making a tool the Daihatsu Hijet Mini Truck struts was fairly easy to change.

front strut replace
I always like seeing home made tools. great job ok the strut tool
I kinda like them. they go really well. Thanks Rick.
wtbm123 Hello I need the strut for one daihatsu extol 2004 ....please you write me...jimyhn07@gmail.com ...please!! Thanks
That makes sense; maybe I can refine my previous rule of thumb to this: if the torque on a fixing is controlling the pressure on a bearing or seal or affects another tolerance, torque probably matters; otherwise it probably doesn't. I haven't developed that intuition, and I'm not always working on something I can get a service manual for, so your advice on this is very helpful, thanks!
10-4. Thanks for stoppin by Brother.
excellent way to compress the springs man, luv those minitrucks
May not of been the safest but it worked. Thanks for watching
Yea that was a rough tool but worked better than i was hoping for. Thanks
Yea they are a fun toy. Thanks for watching Doug.
It was one of those I need it now things. Thanks for watching
love those little trucks, I kind of fill the cab up of one of them. Good Demo Terry
Thanks Brian . Wish we were closer too.
pretty nifty little spring clamp you made Terry.
Wished you lived near me Terry, your a handy man to have around.
Thanks Scott
Great job 👍👍👍!
Interesting, those micro-trucks are pretty cool
Yes ,Did i forget to show that. thanks for watching.
Not likely to run across one of those anytime soon here in MN, but still a good howto video. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice
Nice and the struts were mini tooo!
Yes , Even the service manual for the truck does not list all the torque specs.
good vid ,there is one of them trucks here in town and its the same color,cute little thing
Thank you
It is fun. Thanks.
I really like that little work truck. Kinda grows on ya, doesn't it ?
Nice vid Terry and good info on tool safety !
After years of doing it you kinda get to know when to pick up a torque wrench. Like the bolts holding the struts on can just be tightened .but like a axle nut needs torqued because it sets pre load on the bearing. A head gasket needs to be torqued because it takes a certain pressure on gasket to make the gasket work right. Just like a battery terminal bolt. If you over tighten it strips the threads out of the lead. so you know only snug.but no reason to torque them.
great post man!
Yes . i have to get on the warranty guy sometimes but he can not get away from me so I just bug him till replaces or fixes the tools.
good job
Thanks
Good job made it look Ez
Yea , I do a few. Thanks.
They are fun little things. Thanks for watching
Nice video, but a walk around the truck would have been great! I have one and I like to compare things.
LOL. Thanks for watching
They are small but really neat. except the steering wheel is on the wrong side. lol
Weird... I never know when I do or don't need to know torque specs, but figured suspension bolts would be a critical failure area where it'd matter. My new theory is that it only matters when the load is across the threads / along the bolt... If load is at right angles across the bolt, just get it tight; if load is in the same direction as thread tension, get the torque specs... Does that sound like a good assumption?
It is small. Thanks for watching.
They are little things. Thanks for watching
Right in the back. lol. Thanks for watching
So you just get those bolts all good and tight? No need to torque them to spec?
Neat truck. Where do you wind it up?
strutting on through
Thank you sir,,,this video will help a lot...is there any changes with the bracket or any like t rod or any connections underneath?
not for what i was doing , which was changing the struts
Hi there, is it possible to replace the cartridge in the strut? Thanks!
Not sure , i have always just changed the whole thing
Hello brother, how did you raise the carriage on the back, I have a daihatsu hijet 4x4
How to lift up both front and rear wheel with f6a multicab?
They prob sell lift kits .
what daihatsu engine swaps are available for this mini van?
I have a 1998 HiJet.It is so rough riding ! W was looking at it.and seen where the Struts dont go in but maybe 1/2 inch,even with me jumping on one side..Im thinking strut shocks are stuck ! that might be why it is so rough riding..any thought to that.? thanks
Got my 2" lift and new tires on, adjusted camber, etc and now the poor thing hops down the road like a Bunny Wabbit. Not like just when I hit a bump, it's consistently hopping starting at around 25 kph. New 300# springs on the way but it doesn't seam it will help as I didn't feel the hop on the lift, only once I put on the tires. Any ideas?
wonder if it is a tire , did you balance them . Did weight fall off . if hard time balancing , in our lifted trucks with big tires we used Equal in them to balance . also make sure no play in steering parts , is there a steering stabilizer
@@wtbm123 OMG! I pulled a noob mistake. *face palm* I'm so embarrassed. Some lug nuts were on bass akwards!
I bet your spring compressor comes with a lifetime warranty.... all my home made tools do.
I enjoyed your video Thanks. I wondered where you bought the replacement struts. I am hoping to find some crossover strut locally. Any Ideas Dihatsu Hijet s210p
I think i got them from G&R Imports. I found no cross over for any part numbers that actually worked. Yours is a different model and it may be worth trying to cross numbers. . If it bottoms out a lot think about heavier springs also .
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR NEW FRONT STRUTS....THANKS
