I have a 2015 Fit. The rear shocks are loose at the top mount area. Especially on the right rear side is very loose. Also, the plastic shroud that covers the shock's shiny chrome shaft is broken and crumbled apart. I know I need to change the rear shocks. Therefore, I need the exploded view diagram of the shock assembly and ALL of its associated parts, bushings, etc. So I can do the job right and order everything I need before I do the job. The maintenance manual procedures to remove and install the rear shocks will help as well so I can remove, replace, and torque everything back as it should. Thanks.

It looks pretty straight forward, so assume the metal pocket that holds the upper part of the shock has rusted out? You will need to fab a new piece and weld it in. Here are the shock stats as requested, Check out the images (below). Please upload an image or a short video in your response, so I can see what's going on.

Thanks. I will do that as soon as I can get all of the side panels removed. Its my friends car. It is pretty straight forward and I don't think the metal is rusted, so I bought two new shocks and some aftermarket mounting bushings on amazon because the OEM Honda stuff is expensive, so we'll see. I did get KYB shocks though. I will take pictures or a video as soon as I can to help out.

Its all fixed. Thanks for the help. The mount was mainly causing the slop. The metal was not rusted. Pretty simple fix. I did use mounts from Amazon since the owner did not want to spend big money on Genuine Honda parts. I did use KYB shocks. Here is a video and some pics.
