I should of unbolted simple 10mm bolt to add slack and I didn't. I figured hey, it's only a $40 replacement part so no a big deal until I tried removing abs magnet from rear hub. What a monumental huge headache I created..

Great video! I'm going to do this job for the first time on my '81 VW pickup. I've never even seen it done anywhere. I think you saved me a lot of grief here, since I didn't even know a lot of what you mentioned ... like that you can buy strut cylinders like I did, but you can also buy the whole assembly with a spring. Or what a spring compressor is for, and how you use it, and how not to wreck up the rest of your car. And that's why I watch lots of videos before starting something new. I think that's definitely the best part of the internet, is all the how-to videos.

@johnwick-ii6il 2 роки тому

On some models, especially with torn CV boots. If you allow the rotor assembly to fall, or tip , away from the car at the top...some people do this to get more working space, it will pull the CV joint / drive axle out of the trans. coupler. This can be a bit of work to re-install. On some models the CV joint will come apart inside of the boot, which creates even more work to be sure that none of the components are out of place before re-installing it into the coupler. Best bet it to support the entire rotor axle assembly so it cannot fall down. If it is in the way of strut removal...try turning the steering left or right to gain clearance. If it absolutely must be lowered, then dont go any farther than is needed, and never let it drop unsuspended.

@scooterp7009 2 роки тому

I’ve seen this comment many times. Why don’t we insist that the shops install and torque the lug nuts properly in accordance with the manufacturer’s specs? I no longer will bring my car to any shop that gives me a hard time or refuses to do so. Think about it, we pay them way more per hour than what the majority of us make, why can’t we expect and even demand professional service?

@N4CR5 2 роки тому

One of the most common complaints from females too. Makes it real hard to get it off on the side of the road for them. If they are torqued properly, they usually can get it loose with body weight on the lever if they are lighter weight.

@DanielSan-ch7dr 2 роки тому

@@scooterp7009 in Australia this is how all tyres and wheels are to be installed. Nuts are rattled on lightly with a calibrated impact driver that slip after right tension is achieved but they are expensive so not always used, and toqued to spec and double checked by A 2nd person to make sure your wheels don't fall off.

@CaptainRudy4021 2 роки тому

I once attempted to do all four struts on my mom's 2003 ford explorer with struts I bought from 1AAuto. The new struts were fantastic, but getting the old ones off was a pain in the ace. The front passenger strut came out and the new one went in no problem, but that's as far as i got before i called it quits. The bottom through bolt on the front driver's side strut was rust welded to the inner bushing sleeve and the top nuts on the rear struts were so rusted they didn't even look like nuts anymore. So I gave up and had her take it to a shop. With the special tools they had, they were able to replace the rears with little difficulty, but the front driver's side strut required two hours of heating with a torch before it finally came loose.

@jasonbengel 2 роки тому

This was great info! Thanks. I have used complete strut assemblies from Monroe that had the top nut torqued down too much, resulting in that crunching/knocking sound during turns.

7:05 Yes. Because unless it's damaged or broken, the original factory spring is going to be superior to most aftermarket replacements.

@AutoFixYT 2 роки тому

That will work for low and medium mileage cars. But when you start dealing with higher mileage (250k miles or more on factory springs) they start to sag pretty bad so a set of high quality (emphasis on high quality because there are a bunch of crappy ones out there) will be much better than worn originals. But I do agree that in low mileage cases the factory spring is better than a bad aftermarket one.
