Today, with the help of this short video, you will learn how to replace the front strut of a Honda Civic model 8. Start the replacement by opening the front bonnet and removing the cover from the right under-bonnet area. Then, using a 14 mm spanner, remove the strut bolt.

Now, remove the front wheel and lift the vehicle on a ramp. Once the wheel and wheel arch are removed, take out the suspension strut as shown in the video.

Remove the springs from the strut using a hydraulic compressor and fit new ones using the same method. After that, refit the strut by tightening the fasteners that connect the shock absorber to the strut.
