2004 - 2008 TL rear shock replacement DIY video
Hi everyone,
One of my rear shock absorbers on my 08 TLS ended up going bad, so I decided to replace both rears and make a brief, but complete, DIY video on YouTube for others to follow. I like to keep my car with all OEM parts, so I saved a ton of money doing it on my own rather than letting the dealer do the work. I got the complete rear shock absorber assembly from OEMAcuraparts.com for about $170 for each side. Part number is 52610-SEP-A19.

I can't get over how clean and how little rust you have!

FYI, I was told in another post that base 04-06 can take base 07-08 assemblies. The base model rear assembly for my 2005 was 340 for each. The 2007 base assembly is 172 for each. The 07-08 base supposedly have the "softest ride".

I've heard that also. Guess I will find out . Ginna wait until fall to do this though, it's way too hot out now.

If and when you do this swap, please report back with driving/installation impressions, if you can. I recently swapped my OEM dampers (which were bad) for Konis. The ride is much better, but still a little harsh. I may swap assemblies in the near future and would like to hear from anyone who tried the 07-08 base assemblies in a 04-06 base.

Yeah, it's also in the 90s here. No working on car.
