@@jeffmorrissette2643 Overall it's not a bad job. I would recommend spraying a penetrant on the sway bar threads as soon as possible. That's the hardest thing to remove. Maybe have a pair of links on hand in case you need them. You can always return them if you don't need them 👍
Very good video. I found it very helpful to know I can tackle this job as a DIY'r . Broke a spring on the driver side and the bearing at the top is about shot too. I've installed ready struts before but not on this model. It's always good to review the job before starting by watching a video like this in my opinion.
Thanks for the video, can this job be done with a breaker bar or do I really need the impact wrench? I've done brakes on my car with a breaker bar but are these bolts harder to get of than the ones in a brake job?
Great videos on both the front and rear. Keep it up!
@@johnbullers8647 Thanks! Glad this video was helpful 🙂
Holy crap, you made that look butter smooth! Great video and looking forward to tackling that for my sister this weekend! Keep up the great videos!

Nice video. Might I add its always good practice to leave nuts on the end of bolts before tapping them out so as not to damage the bolt threads.
Tapered end bolts not much of an issue. But flat end bolts absolutely.
Great video, planning to do this after dinner! TY

@@Bennett5363 Thanks for laying that out for us 👍
Why the 90 degrees after you adjusted to torque???????
Did you say it needs realignment after replace the struts?
@@deepblue7457 It should be taken in to double check alignment 👍

@@scottie2d145 An impact makes it easier but I think a breaker bar will be just fine. I do recommend a torque wrench for tightening 👍
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive Thanks for the reply. I do have a couple torque wrenches.
With or WO leveling?
@shatasharice4094 I'm sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean. These are standard struts, not air ride struts.
I know you said those are standard and I probably have standard also but do you think I can put self leveling instead? Great tutorial btw.
I’m stuck at removing the lower 21mm bolt, any suggestions?
@@Clash_Kxng What's happening with it?
Thank you very good information i live in Ensenada baja California México i want to know what brand of shocks you recommend?
I have a link in the description for Monroe struts. Other good brands are KYB and Gabriel. Either of the three brands will be good 👍
Can I get the model of that ryobi impact? Looks like a good tool
@@scamlikely1926 It's a robust tool that keeps on giving! I have a link in the description 👍
Great, how to do video. Keep it up.

The tire shop was going to charge me about $1000 for this. It is nice to own wrenches.
@@chuckhall5347 Being able to fix your own vehicle is a good feeling 🙂
