Bro this is so damn easy thanks for this video gonna save me a grand in labor 👏 FYI for anyone doing this: WATCH YOUR BRAKE LINE be careful dont rip it
I''m having trouble getting the bottom bolt out. I tried using the pry bar as shown at (5:49). Bolt is rusted and used WD40. Do you have any ideas or trick to free it from the strut assembly?
There are a couple ways to do that. Put a jack under the strut assembly. Be careful but you probably don't need much movement. You could also loosen the upper assembly at the top of the wheel well by loosening the nut and tapping on it to have the pieces separate. You can tighten it back up once it's all together including having the wheel on and the weight of the car. Good luck!

@@alanspilde8194Hi probably you got it out already, but if still having trouble, while you are prying at same time you could hammer it.
@carvision4197 This worked 💪 Thank you!
How are the struts holding up? Thinking of getting the same ones
Thanks for the video...my AWD lexus strut bolts threads are rusty from top side is it possible to change them? Or I need to change the full set?
I’m pretty sure you can change them. At least try
@@carvision4197 Thank u for ur prompt reply
Mine were super rusty and i was able to replace them just fine.
do you guys know if its the the same thing for the 2014 3is
and do you know where i can find the strut bracket bolt?
I y might not be the exact same, but I’m sure you figure out
This is for the AWD model correct? Just want to make sure
Yes
@@carvision4197 thank you for the video, lowered my car today
@@ill.2ur your welcome

It's runs a lot better
@@carvision4197 thank you, i am installing my set next Saturday.
@@OMAR6575 your welcome. im glad I could help.
I cannot get the bottom bolt to line up again. Been at it for over an hour. Is there anything you can do besides using pry bar?

I have a AWD 2010 lexus is250 is the shocks/struts the same all AWD lexus
I’m pretty sure they are the same
Would the process be any different for the rwd
It should be the same procedure.
where did you get the struts? for the Awd?I have a lexus 250 2007 4x4
I got them online I believe it was on 1A auto parts
@@carvision4197 thank you, will check then? Did they end up being good quality?
@@JohnMaurofx so far so good
Amazing thank you!
Hola quisiera saber que tan buenos son esos amortiguadores trq???? Ya mi lexus is250 necesita unos
La verdad si me salieron muy buenos el carro ya lleva buen rato con ellos hasta horita to bien
Muchas gracias comprare unos porq los demas amortiguadores que e visto y no son emsamblados estan carisimos gracis enserio
Why take off the strut mount... Just take off the nut at the bottom and push down on the wheel assembly then you don't have to move outter tie rod
Have you actually done this? It does seem like that would be easier but is there room to get the assembly out?
I have those same rims on my IS 250
I think they look great

I had those same rims they are trash all of them broke
Sorry to hear that. It hasn’t happened to me
Maybe you drive terribly. Because mine didn’t break and I’ve had them for a long time
