Going to ( when it isn't 100 + degrees here), replace rear shocks/ struts, rear sway bar links, rear disc brakes and rotors, both sides in less than a day, I hope, Lol! May not want to talk to me for awhile after I finish, I'm 70 and will be dog dead tired, but get-er-done!
Be careful take your time and check your torque (I know i didn’t torque anything in this video but that was a long time ago and I’ve learned a few things since). Good luck!
@@youautoknowjoe Have 2 goog torque wrenches, if the bolt or nut has a torque spec from my repair manual, it gets torqued to that spec, if it doesn't have a value, depending on what it is tighten until you think it enough.
@@wildog0987 it can be, back in the day we didn't know about Jack's and stuff, now I'll use my floor jack to raise the knuckle up to line up with the strut, use a tiny amount of white lithium grease, and protect the bushing in the strut to seat in better and last longer
@@andyjones149 Yes, finished front end today with 2 new mevotech greaseable sway bar links, not too hard to install, except torquing them with the car on the ground , but got it done , had appt with local tire shop who does all of my front end alignments, had front end aligned. Drives great now!!!
You need to torque the bottom bolt to 70 and top to 40.
@@garseetr My Haynes repair manual says 41 for top nuts, 77 for bottom bolt going through shock. Close enough, either way.

Rear shocks was tough doing by yourself getting bottom bolt in to new strut
Explain how

Was your shocks struts making a rattling noise
If they are rattling check the bolts and make sure they are tight
