he actually made a couple mistakes. didnt need to remove tie rod end. He should have put the nut on the tie rod end before using the puller, in case the threads get damaged. Only a jerk tightens the strut to spindle mounting bolts with a breaker bar, knowing that the alignment shop is going to have to loosen both nuts to adjust camber, which, if you dont note the location/angle of camber before hand (if it was even correct), someone else has to fight.

Just as an FYI: Most spring compressors have a large printed warning on them to *not* use impact tools with them. The threaded rods are hardened so the threads won't gall, but that makes them prone to breaking when used with impact tools, which could lead to a really dangerous explosive release of force.

Should mention that on some cars the hub assembly can fall outward once the strut is removed, and the axle will become unseated from the transmission. So it’s a good idea to use bungee cords to hold it in. Also, you will want to get an alignment after doing this job.

great instructional video Scotty. Personally I always tell my customers if you're going aftermarket you might as well get loaded struts. Just think about it by the time the struts wear out the Upper bushing and spring has that much wear on it as well and you don't want to have to pay someone twice to do the same job over again. I also do them in pairs for the same reason. I've done just one before and had the customer come back a couple months later needing the other one. They don't like having to be without a vehicle for the same problem twice in a short period. I wouldn't either
@royrock413 5 років тому

For good measure I'd have the front end aligned after his. Things will never fall exactly where they were originally. I even mark stuff before I start, but still.
@MrMOGHammer Рік тому
it is very unnecessary, the only adjustment you have in the front alignment is the tie-rod. And this part was simply removed and put back in place, without touching the adjustment on it. and the bolts attaching the strut to the swindle assembly are pretty snug fit all the way, there is virtually no play. But yes it is a good idea to mark up a few spots to make sure you put the thing back together exactly as it was.

Great vid, Scotty. My Mazda 5 needs some suspension parts replaced, and your lesson *almost* inspires me to do the work myself.

Thanks Scotty! I was debating between KYB's, Monroe's, and the other ones!

Up here in the rust belt I always replace whole assembly. The springs themselves rust and break after 10 or so years.
