Description: After putting a new engine in my 2005 Honda Element, it was time to turn my attention to the suspension. I went all in and replaced the front strut assemblies, rear strut assemblies, outer tie rods, custom rear control arms, and the rear stabilizer bushings. I also replaced all 4 CV boots on the rear axles and put a set of brand new Nokian tires on all 4 wheels.I then had it aligned to help protect the new tires and make sure it tracked down the road straight and true. In my estimation, this is the closest you would get to a brand new Honda Element. This information also applies to the Honda CRV of the same vintage. Because of the depth of coverage in this video, I had to split it into 2 parts.
