What are the instructions for AWD? Video says 2WD

Two questions:
1. Are there any additional steps if I'm replacing the strut assembly on a 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE? (I'm wondering if the hybrid nature offers any additional complexity).
2. Does Toyota sell a strut assembly (including coil spring)? My impression is they sell the struts and springs separately.

@@clifflee8991 Thanks! I've heard good things about KYB struts. A couple of questions:
1. I've heard strut assemblies are generally lower quality than vehicle manufacturer struts and springs. I think this is, in part, due to the springs being lower quality on the assemblies. What's your experience.
2. Are there any additional disconnections - other than what's in the video - I would need to make on our hybrid model RAV4? Or is it exactly the same process?

@@ErikHaanVincent Autozone said KYB is the OEM, and other brands may be lower quality

Incomplete. The strut was never removed and no torque specs are provided for the nut on top of the strut

It comes pre assembled. You shouldn’t have to mess with that
