Well done gentlemen!❤ Your level of detail & camera view is spot on for the viewer. I've been a mechanic since the 80s & knowledge used to come from hard to read manuals😅 I appreciate you & have subscribed🤗
This isn't exactly what I needed (help fitting coilovers on a Ford) but this has proven extremely helpful just because the way you explained it so clearly. I'll be perusing all your other videos for more helpful stuff!
Changed my 02 Santa fe rear shocks, one side was seized onto the lower stud and had helluva time with it. Ended up ordering new stud from dealership, paid 35$,waited 2 days for delivery. But otherwise piece of cake
Thanks, best video I've seen so far when dealing with shocks. My mom has an 02' Kia Sedona that has some noise coming from the shocks and looking underneath her rear shock/strut looks similar (minus the upper portion coming through the vehicle). I'm going to try this technique, should work well.
Unfortunately the Accent is going to be different, rather than rear shocks, the accent has rear struts. The difference is that the coil spring is integrated into the rear strut assembly. It is possible to do at home, but can be a dangerous job because of the tension of the coil spring. I'd recommend taking out the whole strut assembly, and then bring that assembly to a shop to have them replace the strut itself. Search our videos for "struts" and you can see how to remove a strut assembly
Great video! Saved me time, according to the shop manual you should take the wheels off and support the assembly with a jack stand. However, I just got the newest KYB rear shock kit, and the bushings are just extremely confusing. There is one ginormeous rubber ring, which I have no idea where it goes, and none of the others seem to make any sense. I got the shock #344314, mounting kit #SM5296, and bellow kit #SB108. If you could make some sense, that would be great. The KYB instructions are ....
hey there, I have a 2009 Santa fe 3.3l gls Awd, and i am looking for the kyb monomax and its counter parts all around, coil overs for the front, but every ride except for my Hyundai? any idea where I could find these other than just the excel g which oem which will have to be better than what is in there now, I would like the extra performance etc.
+Eric Arndt It depends on how old the shock is and if it actually has any dampening left in it. Most of the time if the shock is just as worn out as the bushing so 99% of the time just replace the both shocks as it can be somewhat unsafe only replacing 1 side.
That can be a tricky one. Often what you can do is strike the metal "sleeve" that is stuck on the post repeatedly with a hammer while trying to twist is using a good pair of pliers. If that won't cause it to become free, the next step is to heat the sleeve with a torch. Good Luck!
Have watched many vids for same model and none say that the spring is compressed by the shock. They just jack it up remove tires and pull off shock and replace it. Nothing said about spring. 🤔 Maybe because they had Jack stands on the axles.
The prices will fluctuate, check out our website for the latest prices. As far as the brand, Monroe is hard to beat, they have been making shocks and struts for a long time and I trust them completely.
Sooo a 2001 Santa Fe... Does it have rear shocks or rear struts. Im confused. My Santa Fe sounds like a frickin old mattress being jumped on. And thats at the slightest of bumps. So which do i need? Please help and thanks bunches.
The rear of a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe has shocks and they are common to make noise when they wear out or if ths bushing rots. Here is a link to the shocks we used at Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C59LKI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000C59LKI&linkCode=as2&tag=aupaditoyo-20&linkId=Z2LJZ3L6KNOJBFBR
I just spent seven hours trying to do this,Great video but my old strut is seized to the post on the bottom, you just slid it right of. any suggestions on how to get it off the post? I got all of it off except for the metal part that wraps around the post.

lol wished i lived where the video was made did this same job on a 02 santa fe HAD TO REMOVE THE LOWER STUD from lower control arm which was seized onto the shock bushing so out came the grinder off came the shock eye cut off the rubber with an olfa razor knife took the stud to the anvil tapped on the sleeve added penetrating oil tapped on sleeve again then took to the vise put a pipe wrench to the sleeve and worked it loose {yes i could have ground the sleeve off just didnt want sparks all over the place } APPLIED SOME ANTI SEIZE TO STUD where lower shock slides onto stud ans tightened it all up yes life in canada EVERYTHING 5 TIMES HARDER got to love salt and -40 f
Thanks for the great video. I have a question (it's probably stupid): Is there any reason, safety or otherwise, I can't do one side at a time for the rear shocks? Thanks again for the vid.
On this vehicle no, if the vehicle is on the ground, the rear wheels sitting against the ground is all that is needed to hold the coil springs in place.
Well done gentlemen!❤

Usually a 14mm on the top nut & 19mm for the bottom.
Great DIY video.
Thanks, was just thinking what size I'll need for the top.
Informative, and nicely done. We ordered the same shocks from Amazon...and it has worked out perfectly. Thanks you!
awesome, great job, thanks for watching and commenting!!
Kindly help me with the link you used on ordering your shocks

Haha, so that's what that little door is. I just bought an old Santa Fe and I figure that's were the mice went when I shut the engine off.😆

why did you even lift the vehicle in the first place? It seems that you could basically do everything with it stationary on the ground.
LexBomb6464 Master sure you could do it on the ground but it’s much easier on the back and knees standing up
Okay thanks for the advice. After doing some shopping around, Monroe seems to be the best for the money.

Really helpful...would have liked to know what size wrenchs and sockets you used.
17mm and 19mm

Thanks, man. Again, great vid. You've saved people thousands with your vids.
Wow.. you save yourself over $600.00👍😊
I have an 02 santa fe and there is rattling in the back left..do I have to replace the whole shock or can I simply replace the bushing ?

Thanks going to try!

Thank you soo much i love you💪💪 great video.
Hi nice one. Great video. May i know if you have same video for replacing suspension bushings? Hyundai Santa Fe.
Awesome, thanks.
I would like to know how to replace the front shocks now on the same vehicle. Thanks in advance.
I don't remember exactly, but I want to say it was in the 100k mile range.
You can do one side at a time without any issues.
Have watched many vids for same model and none say that the spring is compressed by the shock. They just jack it up remove tires and pull off shock and replace it. Nothing said about spring. 🤔 Maybe because they had Jack stands on the axles.
that puzzled me as well

Did you use traditional oil shocks or gas? Im trying to replace my rear shocks went out on my 2001 Hyundai santa fe and im not sure

Hi can you please tell me what are the size of the tools you used, please. thank in advance
Is the process basically the same for a 2010 Santa Fe? And is the process basically the same for the front struts and shocks?
I just spent seven hours trying to do this,Great video but my old strut is seized to the post on the bottom, you just slid it right of. any suggestions on how to get it off the post? I got all of it off except for the metal part that wraps around the post.

Thanks again for the vid.
20 Hundai are rear end different high and lo
Thanks! Doing this tomorrow!
Do you have to support anything if the vehicle is on the ground once you take the shock off.
On this vehicle no, if the vehicle is on the ground, the rear wheels sitting against the ground is all that is needed to hold the coil springs in place.
awesome, thank you.
Chris Allen
Great.......
Wish it was this easy for me. The stupid nut on the outer side kept spinning on me.
Would you perform any of the same steps for if you were installing a rear sway bar on a 2016 Veloster Turbo ?
Totally forgot to put the top bushing on fml
