I replaced a pair of struts according to your procedure. It went smoothly. Thanks for the great video.

Pretty straight forward. However, I would have replaced the strut mount and insulator while you had everything apart. Those are wear items as well and only cost a few extra dollars.

You scared me. The right side of the compressor tool was way tension then the left so uneven 😂. You brave lol. Thankfully i have a Branick spring compressor 😅. Good video by the way.

thanks for the comment J.

Didnt put the pins 8n for the spring compressor. Dangerous?

[@elh4x4doinstuff49]

the kit comes with a go/ no go gauge, the springs were a little big to use the pins, more like unsafe.

Great video man! What part number are those? Been wanting to get those myself for my 2018 Silverado

[@elh4x4doinstuff49]

thanks for the comment Ethan Bia. got them from rock auto. they are gm genuine. i had to look at the assembly tag in the glove box to order the right struts.

[@jessequintero1122]

What kind of torque wrench is that beeps?

[@elh4x4doinstuff49]

thanks for the comment Jesse Quintero, snap on torque wrench

[@jessequintero1122]

Did you have to get it re-aligned and balanced?

[@elh4x4doinstuff49]

got the alignment checked, was still good.

[@jessequintero1122]

Thoughts?

[@elh4x4doinstuff49]
