well the wishbone came out pretty easy, i was expecting some hammering to fall out from the strut. Nice to see that you sell whole assemblies. Makes the life so much safer 😀
I ordered the upper control arms & installed them last month. Allighnment showed the strut needs replacing as well. I struggled w that coil on the strut install & would've saved time removing both. Struts made it last week & only puntured a little of the cardboard in shipping. Some added protection inside might be a good investment in the future. A few feet of brown paper would keep the struts from moving around so much.
Keep changing parts. I own this car and need to fix it. Your videos help. Wth the torque specs wth it fantastic ill be ordering in the nxt couple of months
This video was great and essential to the removal and install with my Mazda 6. Honey were are your safety glasses??? Don't need anything disconcerting happening to you or the team!
I got some STRUT ASSEMBLIES. The issue is that when I slidt the strut so the three bolts stick out, that notch does not line up. It looks like the strut plate was put on at the factory incorrectly. i also dont have a spring compressor. Can I move and spin that strut plate so it lines up? I am stuck. The other strut fits fine. Any suggestions????
why is car height so high after you changed those loaded struts?? is that normal? same thing happen to my car! its been 2 months and it still high... tho a little lower.. its really annoying??
I believe that the struts for a Mazda 6i (4 cylinder) and Mazda 6S (6 cylinder) are different. the 6S struts are different, and if installed on a 6i, it raises the body. The 1A Auto website doesn't specify the submodel, and I think that is an error. I noticed that Monroe had different struts for these two submodels.
+Richard Jewell This procedure might be slightly different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1AAuto.com

Ok, that 6 has never seen a Canadian winter!
I like your way you working: like scientists! I never seen people use the torque wrench. Well done!

Same with my 04 . It’s been 9 months and the front looks lifted. I Changed the springs in the back also looks fine.

The new part is an updated design! +VGAPR Garage
Can you put Toyota struts into Mazda?
Easy Sleazy if it fits why not?
It has always been said those complete assembly never last and are cheap and I don’t mean in price.
