1. I renewed my front dampers last weekend, had strong clamps , I kept original spring , went in well easy .

2. What brand loaded struts did you use?

3. Time for a bore scope.

4. No. You can not take a break. You must continue to produce videos for our amusement. Mwah ha ha.

5. DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER ‼️

6. The scene when Troy found the nut on the floor made me think of Dumb N Dumber. A nut or a bolt? A nut. Does it look like this? Yeah that’s it! Where was it? Over there.

7. Never knew honda make K14 for crvs

8. I truly don’t understand how this car is an 09 and it looks brand new underneath, I don’t see rust anywhere!!! I know north east winters with road salt are hard on our vehicles but give me a break !!! My 09 is rustier than an old railroad spike !!! You guys get ten times the life out of your vehicles, that’s Bull $h!t

9. A 2009 has only 77thousand miles on it as of the time this video was uploaded ? That’s like only 5500 a year ! , 458 a month, 114 miles a week. I do 120 a day, my 09 has over three hundred grand on it and still ticking.

10. I know these questions get TEDIOUS. I would like to know when you tighten the 2 NUTS on top of the struts-inside the trunk area- there seems to be no torque wrench used. You just "know" how tight the electric impact wrench is torquing the nut by feel/20 years of experience? You seem to do a lot of bolts/nuts by feel. The rear control arm bolts/screws you removed to get more room to the strut out. You did the same thing when you tightened those control arm bolts back in place. You just did it by "feel" again, no torque wrench. I would definitely need a torque wrench to get it right. Thanks for the video!

11. If you loosen control arm bolts the tension would release.and you would have more access. But when you tighten them back after installing the strut you have to jack suspension from the bottom to set it at ride height. That would have made install way easier. But you got it!

12. Hi Ray, how about a camera to look inside the blower motor, just a thought Rick love your work and videos

13. Liked i watch your videos a couple of times. i really enjoy watching them

14. Seems like the control arm bushings were preloaded. Maybe should have loosened the control arm bolts.

15. Music is a nice touch. I like it

16. Borrowed a quote from Chester cheetah. A neutral drop in an automatic wont always break something. That depends on the transmission. Like with a ford trans, you can fix a shift issue is some situations by dropping it into park at 5 mph, if you hear the park pawl stutter, that is ideal. The vibrations can shake the governor valve free.

17. Been meaning to ask ya, what are your thoughts on having crow foot pieces vs not having them. And I don’t have that tool like maybe you’d use. And when ya got the time to respond too

18. funny I just bought a 1989 Pontiac Grand Am and EVERYTHING is labeled like this car. When it was changed, part numbers, even the bank of relays on the firewall are labeled with a label maker. Plus everything is in a 3 ring binder with mileage, cost part numbers and when.

19. Very good videos and entertaining

20. Did u retrieve your socket?

21. Woops you left a scoket on the sway bar !

22. I find it so funny someone printed labels and put them on the car. How about writing the work performed in the maintenance section of the manual.

23. I believe I can fly…… I believe i can touch the sky…………………………………………..

24. Charlie Chaplin would be PROUD !!

25. You know what's sad? I have learned MORE from you and Eric O. than I have from my own father and/or family. i am 52 years old, 53 next month and I thank both you and Eric.

26. Why do you have to keep opening and closing the gate?

27. Very good video keep them coming please

28. 34:38 if you are missing a socket, i think I know where it is. Enjoy your videos. It’s very relaxing and educational to follow along 🙂

29. Every do it yourself person should watch this before deciding to lie on their backs in their driveway and doing this job! An “easy” job can quickly become a b**ch!

30. Ray, u didn't leave the dip stick 1/2 way out? , that's one of the best tips you teach people, we are Idiots sometimes. 😁🙃

31. Heeeey!! 😊 def enjoyed the video.

32. 👍🇺🇲

33. Top hole of dip stick is the full mark dyk

34. Lucky, I was expecting a snake to grab you. Darn pythons 😂

35. BTW. I'm in to restoring old bikes like the 1975 Honda CB 360t I just finished. I saw that you did or do restoration vids. Where? I'd dig watching that channel as well.

36. I watched a video on the success of your channel. I'm so proud for you, the wife unite, and kid units. Success comes to those that earn it. You have.

37. Ray, you do realise that the rear seats slide forwards……….that would've made life easier too

38. I acquired my first snap on tool the other day while replacing a side light bulb, I needed to loosen the front quarter panel and remove the air filter housing in order to gain access to the bulb receptacle and inside the filter housing was a panel fastener pry tool. We had the oil filter adapter replaced recently (6 months ago) and wanted to gauge the viewers thoughts. Should I make an attempt to return the tool to the tech or does this fall under the lost tool/found tool code?

39. Why didn't you use a spring compressor on those rear struts? It would've shortened the strut allowing you more wiggle room and maneuvering space. and you wouldn't have to mess with the sway bar.

40. Hondayota still hasn't fixed the noisy fan issue even to the 20's… Their climate stuff is cheap and sucks…

41. I had that exact same blue anodized Schrader valve took and it failed as well. They are junk.

42. "Pry hammer and let slip the dogs of war!"

43. Oh no!!! Oil cap not installed correctly! What happened Ray?

44. 29:37. Finally a swear word – although german. Prooves that you are actually human😀

45. That moment when im jelly that all the cars u work on are relatively rust free 😂
