A complete strut assembly was definitely the way to go on this one. Nice job!

@themechanic6117 6 лет назад

There was about a $10 difference between the strut alone vs the complete assembly 😂

@rusco321 6 лет назад

@dschneider48 Месяц назад

@williamjoseph98 9 месяцев назад

Also make sure to put the load back on the strut, before proceeding to torque the mounting nuts down to spec. This will prevent premature wear. Great vid man!

@barryaiello3127 2 года назад

Just did this job yesterday, IMPORTANT tip, the 3 studs ARE NOT equally spaced, 2 only measure "4 center to center while it's "4.5 inches the other way, BE SURE you have it oriented correctly or else they won't line up, you'll get the one in and secure it only to find out you need to drop it down and start over. The instructions from Monroe do not mention this nor does any strut video on you-tube for the Malibu.

@themechanic6117 2 года назад

It's not mentioned anywhere because the 3 studs not being evenly spaced is so that it can only go on one way .

@barryaiello3127 2 года назад

@@themechanic6117 oh, it would have been nice for Monroe to put an arrow pointing into the engine, I get the feeling I'm not the only one who's made this mistake, at any rate they are installed now.

Most aftermarket GM sway bar links you have to build them from a kit which includes grommets and washers.

Do you have to have the front end realigned after putting on new struts? And a great video!!!

@themechanic6117 6 месяцев назад

I recommend getting the alignment checked at a shop. Thank you for watching

@Khadjs1804 3 года назад

Does it need the wheels to be realinged after replacing the struts?

@themechanic6117 3 года назад

Most times no . But if the steering wheel is no longer straight then take it for a wheel alignment

@robertdeanda1961 6 месяцев назад

Hey man would it be necessary to also get a wheel alignment after installation?

How long do it takes to remove and replace back shocks on this Malibu

@themechanic6117 5 лет назад

Could take a few hours depending on experience and what tools you have

@jasonjones3 5 лет назад

30-40 minutes a side with the proper tools.

@daltonroy-willet1932 2 года назад

Its a splined bolt so you dont have to hold it with a wrench just saying and the stablizer like just use vicegrips if it stock

I would not put a jack stand on a sloped surface, there’s a chance of sliding.

@themechanic6117 6 лет назад

It's not a servere slope. I wasn't worried about it . Especially when I let this end sit lower than the ride height of the car . Yes,safety first though. 👍
