Do you ship orders to Papua New Guinea?

[@cleandiaper]

Do NOT use vice grips. There is a metric Allen wrench you can place in the middle of the nut to prevent it from moving. Using grips could strip the threads.

[@DooWops4U2]

This is by far the best video for this repair I have watched . I feel more comfortable doing this on my own Thanks for your help and demo.

[@filosoper]

Thank you! I ordered the TRQ strut assemblies for both the front and rear and they are OEM quality. They work great! And this video helped a lot too!

[@Sanjin-lr7ol]

Y'all always have the best videos. Watch them for countless vehicles I've worked on

[@silverdragontaylir8252]

Perfect video(good craftsmanship

[@daveallen2455]

Impact gun pulled the sway bar nut off without any problem. Nice video.

[@rickfitzgerald4426]

Do both side struts before reinstalling the seat parts. Great informative video;

[@johnharris7115]

Fantastic video, direct & to the point, and very informative. Going to tackle this in the next few weeks, Thank you for posting , job well done !

[@ronaldwalker6114]

I use 20v DeWalt half inch drive impact , being a mechanic for 48 years once batt. operated tools came out that's all I used and still do . No need to have a compressor at my house !

[@TyWhalin]

The most recent estimate I got on the Internet for doing the rear struts on a 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS was $613.15. Good video too.

[@louisj2285]

great video. i watched then went out and did my car today. A few things: Allen wrench instead of pliers on sway bar bolt, definitely use a center punch or the like to get big knuckle bolts out once nut is off, when replacing use an 3" extension in the hole to line up strut if you cant knuckle bolt back in, the furthest back bolt on top of the strut has very limited space: make sure you have a tool that'll fit

[@brother_jaha]

Awesome video all the way to showing how to put the wheel back on! Nice nice nice you rarely see this type of video

[@ronniedaniels4587]

Good tutorial!

[@SergioLopez-so6ph]

Do I have to do the alignment after I change all struts

[@jaed2630]

Why not just stick a screwdriver through the bottom strut hole and then un bolt the top. Would it still fall?

[@aryoerger]

Very well done! I appreciate your help!

[@ronaldholland2913]

Great video! And, thank you for the torque values.

[@bernandoturner4840]

Lord Bless the Folk that have the Know how to Work on Cars….

[@NoName-tm2yq]

Outstanding video! I can do this job now!

[@angieoh7108]

Now do the passenger side strut and show how difficult it is to change!

[@orlandorivera9011]

Very nice tutorial, its help me a lot, thanks.

[@gregturman9935]

Great video on rear struts. Perfect !

[@janmohmedkotadia2448]

You are the best👌

[@aaronjohnstontube]

Thx for the vid! Do you recommend replacing anything else when doing this?

[@nevraXmike]

These parts are listed in the description as 2002 Toyota, but in the hyperlink above, its goes to 2004. Will these still fit properly?

[@anthonymoore8480]

Excellent, tutorial!!!

[@kennetheady1347]

Thanks that's going to be easy to do.

[@markgreiser464]

So, apparently there was a Lock, to the Backseat in the Trunk. Someone gave me this Car , so I know very little about it. I am now destroying my LR Seat. Other than that, thank you for the Video.

[@adamrocks529]

Really good video. Thanks!

[@Sexyduffman420]

I have the same exact 2 locking piers you tried in the beginning 🤣

[@JamesTaylor-ce4mr]

Thanks!

[@JiltedValkyrie]

Hmm, this wasn't so bad... I think I can do this and save $1000 of quoted labour. I may take it in for an alignment, though.

[@mengx94]

Just don't use Chrome sockets with an impact 😉

[@JamesTaylor-ce4mr]

Thank you

[@josephriddle2772]

Yeah, but keep in mind that this repair job on this car is not completely rusted out, nore or the old struts

[@arymonem]

Excellent!

[@righteous1229]

Thanks helpful video

[@paulvincentperena1838]

is that the stock height of toyota camry?

[@pachecofilho1671]

Uma peça dessa 2006 cabe no 2005 ?

[@jacoe33333]

188 ft or 88 ft/p?

[@MaverickAus]

Thank you, my 2005 Camry has disk brakes on the rear, does that make any difference to what is shown in the video?

[@mayoroflickrun8388]

no, same basic install

[@JoseGarcia-ov1gc]

At 8:13 it should be 133 ft-lbs not 188 ft-lbs

[@jaed2630]

Tighter the better. Besides. How many tunes will you change the struts? U less they're total trash

[@kylerogers3607]

No offense man, but it looks like a couple of the lug nuts were beyond the torque wrench setting just from the impact. I get that you're saving time by running them down - but at least do a good job for the camera.

[@trewten5579]

would you need an alignment after replacing the struts?

[@judahlion2067]

Yes

[@jenniferscott5339]

How long does it take

[@TRQ]

+Jennifer Scott We do not have an estimated timeframe on the repair.

[@xerorenegado15]

Yeeah.. this is pretty difficult I'm just going to go to a mechanic
