There is an arrow on top of the strut. Does it matter which way that arrow is pointing when you install it into the car?
@@RadiantFellowship looking for the same answer!
+Daniel Marques Thanks for watching! The struts will only go in one way, so you typically can't install them on the incorrect side, wrong orientation etc. The arrow points outboard in most cases!
@@TRQ perfect thx for the answer!

That was by far the best tutorial I think I have ever seen!
Brilliant video mate!
Same ✔️
Thank you for making this video - This is the best video so far regarding changing struts, it’s clear and concise. I’m going to attempt to change my own struts. I’m tired of all the games, over-inflated prices, and lies mechanics play because I’m a woman. I will keep you posted.

Kudos. Best tutorial I have seen in a long time. Concise -you explained everything including things that can go wrong and included the torque specs. Wish all tutorials were this great!
I seriously cannot believe how good this tutorial is!

Thank you guys just bought my replacement struts from you, the video competes the package. You have a repeat customer.
I have to say this guy explained evrything here step by step in a way anyone would understand. Just want to say thank you and keep it up.

It's simple :I would like you as my official mechanic.for our 2012 KIA Sorento. Excellent tutorial and I like the way you took care of all detail. Well done.
i just bought a set of struts n shocks for my sorento it looks pretty easy i think ill save myself 300 bucks n put them on myself now
In Belgium, we pay 1600 euro for changing all the struts, all included. If I do it my self , i pay 160 euro. It is just crazy how much the garage is screwing us. a strut costing 40 dollars is billed 200 or more.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, they are very useful
Great tutorial,well explained,my hat’s off to you Sr.
The best tutorial ever!! 🙌🏽👏🏽
Excellent! Thank you so much. Could not improve what you did. BRAVO!!!
+Garo Dakessian Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Well done! I think the only thing l might ad is that on the top of the shock mount is embossed an arrow indicating the outward side of the vehicle that help orientate the hole positioning of the top mounts.
Excellent video! All details with sizes.
This is perfect! Thanks!
Great video, you make it look easy.
Quick question: There's a low pitch rattle coming from the front suspension on my 2012 sorento, do you have a video that points out where it may be coming from? Thanks in advance.
Fantastic one of the best ever. Thanks so much!
are there any other Accessories needed besides the strut assembly when buying the parts, left and right?
Hi want to ask u. Its same absober mount with sedona or grand carnival 2017?
Do you have to get an alignment once struts are installed?
Wow nice, exactly what I needed thanks
+Christopher Rodesch Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Thank you
Well shot video
Any review on these brand struts? Any complaints?
Great job. Thank you!
Do they sell quick struts for 2012 Kia Sorento?
Great job! Is it the same procedure for a 2015 kia sedona?
+Gamaliel Valiente This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Great video. Thanks
Is there any reason why a set of complete strut assembly's for a 2015 would not fit a 2016 sorento? All I can find for my 2016 is parts and pieces. Not full assembly's.
Grat job easy 👌
Good job
What size on torque wrench?
ChrisFix has been quiet ever since you dropped this tutorial
Thanks mate
+Us Xx Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
It is a great video but you skipped showing one very crucial step right after you bolt down the three bolts ob top, lining up the two bottom holes, is not a simple skip over and pass the two bots through. I am having a ditch of a time lining them up and realized that I need a pry bar to lower the spindle enough to get the bolt(s) through and that is with help. I will know tomorrow when I do get them in, with help. But you should show that little bit which is omitted. The only other thing That may be keeping me from doing what the guy in the video is doing and that is the wrong strut but double checked and I believe they are correct. Let me know what you think. I wish I could talk to someone at TRQ or 1A Auto. BTW, I am replacing the calipers, disc, the tie rod, and they are off and a new cv axel installed. The axel was ten times easier then this strut.
Sorry but mine does not line up like the video. Spindle holes are a good two+ inches higher than the holes on the strut.
Dang you replaced that in 10 mins … impressive … now why the heck do these mechanic shop take 3hrs smh
ya know what sucks about trq hell i cant even get these struts for my 2014 kia sorento from these guys dont have them in stock
My 2008 kids sportage bounces everywhere!!! So annoying!
+2jw Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
That's the ugliest tie rod I've seen. Thanks for the vid.
+Ian DePalmer Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
