Thanks for watching. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Superb job!!!
Thanks for saying the ft lbs of the 2 lower bolts on the strut.. just had to put them bolts in on my gf's 2016 and used your numbers.. took me HOURS then I spotted it in your video!
good job. brief and to the point.
Easy enough. Thanks for the help!
good video
What’s torque of top 3 bolts ?
I watch your videos all the time and it's help full with on saving $ and I get to learn new things. Thank you for that. With being said, is there anyway y'all can do a video on replacing transmission on a 2010 imapla, it would help slot.thanks
Will the wuick struts eith police package fit on a regular LS model 2020 Impala? I see no difference.
Why in my impala the bolts wouldn’t match with the new shocks?
great video, good job you guys.
+Hugo Escobar Thanks for watching. We're glad you liked it. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Nice great help love your videos
Quick question because i actually seen it on a video of “what not to when changing struts.” When you have the car off the ground like that and tighten the top nuts on the strut don’t you want to make sure it’s on the ground first then tighten the top?
Thanks
I can't seem to get the spindle bolts to align up even with the old strut
so true so hard
Great video. So if when replacing the struts I don't need a spring compressor tool or can I simply just take the strut off like shown in the video? I have a 2012 Impala
+Kenyon Hicks Thank you for checking us out. In most newer vehicles you do not require a spring compressor as it's an all in one assembly. You should be able to remove the strut just as shown in this video. 1aauto.com
Do you have to get an alignment afterwards?
+Chris Blake Pratt Yes, An alignment is recommended.
Me and a couple friends were able to replace the front struts on my 2003 Chevy Impala using this exact same procedure. Wasn't very hard at all.
TubbyHero Congratulations on the successful repair. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
If only replacing the shock tube and not the whole strut body/spring assembly, is there anything in particular I need other than a spring compressor and air tools?
You should be able to use basic hand tools for this repair. Thanks for watching 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I have the 17in wheels. On your website it says excludes the 17in and 18in. Do you have the ones for that wheel setup or does it matter?
Same for fwd cars?
Did you guys replace the double bolt with a single bolt strut? I got the same type of strut with the white space but the one you took off had no white space. So can you replace a double bolt with a single bolt?
I see that this video is part of a larger video on also replacing the rotors, calipers, brake pads. The rotor, caliper, and brake pads were brand new when you went to put the new wheel on.
Will these fit a police package
I'm having so much trouble getting the bolts out ......... working on it now.
Jackaveliii did you get it to work??
What are the torque specs for the 2004 impala front struts. The bottom 2 bolts and the small top 3 nuts? I cant find a straight answer anywhere, ty.

Do you have to use new nuts and bolts ? thanks

@@1AAuto Thank you
Are your struts online great positive feedback ? Are they trusted parts ? I have a Chevy MC 02" . I need both for the rear.
Top nuts are 15mm on some models
And the pinch bolt nuts might also be 22mm....as it is on my 08' Impala.
Is the procedure the same for the rear struts?

Can I do this with a jack stand? And in my garage? Or I need a lift?
+Armando Maldonado Thank you for checking us out. This is definitely doable in your garage with a jack and jack stands. 1aauto.com
Is this pretty much the same with a 04 impala ss?
+anthony san martin At this moment, the closest how-to video we have to your request is for this vehicle, which is very similar to the one you have. The steps may not be 100% the same, but should contain an adequate amount of information necessary for accomplishing this task
do the struts sold on 1A auto work on 2015 Limited Impala LT? I have the 17 inch rims but it says on site it’s excluded
Thanks for checking us out! We do not currently offer the front struts for the 2015 Chevy Impala. You may want to check out www.partfinder.com. Hope this helps you out! +Joe Luis

Pic up Chevrolet s1
this car could not of had many miles on those struts. what was the symptoms?
mine have 180 k on them... not sure if i need new ones or not but IDK what ones to buy. some say the NEW ones are cheap and better off with the old ones..
+daytonpyro Thanks for checking us out! The struts in this video may not have been defective, we make our videos to be informative and assist with installations. We do a fair amount of work on vehicles that have defective parts, however since this video is 7 years old, we are not sure about this particular vehicle. 1aauto.com
Cant get mine lined back up with the two bolt holes
+Aletta Pinkett Once you have the upper portion installed you should be able to spin the entire assembly. This should allow you to line up the lower bolt holes! www.1aauto.com/1A/shocks_struts/Chevy/Impala/1ASFK00027?TH-cam&CTA+Comment&IhtGlJbaGYU
Is this same or similar to Chevy cruzes
I'm trying to replace my struts this exact way and they seem like their too long. they are rubbing hard against the boot and I can not get the holes to line up. please help if you can.
1A Auto Parts thank you for the reply. I figured out that both sides of the vehicle had to be jacked due to the sway bars putting down force on either side that's not. I would recommend adding that, what I would consider a really important part of the repair in your video. would have saved me a couple of hours just on 1 side. lol
Why would you replace the entire assembly instead of just the shock tube? That makes the parts for all 4 be $266 vs 144. Do you think the springs wear out and need replaced?
+Jason Fisher Depending on the vehicle's condition, the springs might need to be replaced. Sometimes it saves a lot more time to replace the entire assembly at once than to compress the springs (which can be very dangerous for first timers not used to this repair) and we sell the assemblies as pairs for additional savings: www.1aauto.com/1A/shocks_struts/Chevy/Impala/1ASFK00027?TH-cam&CTA+Comment&IhtGlJbaGYU
It must have came with new bolts lol 👀😳
Those are 15 mm on the 3 nuts that are on top.
bottom strut does not line up - 2 holes ride high, very hard to get downward to line up, takes 2 people
how do you lower the back suspension on 07 impala pls help
+succ Thank you for watching. Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future repairs. www.1AAuto.com 866-403-3393
Are there any similarities with a 2016 ltz?
Do you need a wheel alignment after?
oforkansi Yes. You should get an alignment any time you work on your steering or suspension. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
