Thank you this video and your knowledge made changing the Strut in my daughters truck so much easier!!!

Great video. Straight to the point. No "b.s.ing" around. Thanks man!

Will be showing this video to hubby. He will be replacing these on my SUV, 05'. This is my "mussel car", can't see me paying 50k ever for a car. Brother-in-law just did, looks pretty, but it's still an old car that is a money pit. I'm further ahead in the game to keep my car in good shape. I can enjoy what I have right now and wait for it to become a classic. Just my opinion. Love the vid, thanks!

Very well done, sets my mind at ease.

Thanks Mark! Awesome video - got it done in a few hours. Saved a ton of money

Great mechanical ability. Nice.

Just subscribed. My equinox is needing new struts. Me and my friend are gonna do it ourselves. Every crack in the road u feel. 180,000 miles

Outstanding instruction

Thank you for the detailed information.

Thankfully you are teaching me

When I bought my quick strut, both mounting brackets were turned 180 degrees the wrong direction. Correct side as well

Clear, no nonsense.

Thsnks for the video

it was helpful but I gotta get all the tools for the job

I know this video is quite old, but is that a crack near the yellow line that appears to be where the A arm mounts to the chassis?

On most struts, you can't just pop the assembly back on the car. Before removing the assembly from the car, note the orientation of the top mount. There is an arrow, or large a painted dot to show which way the mount is oriented to the body. If not, paint an arrow on the old mount to indicate which way is forward. Or, take a picture. The mount is usually offset, so that you can adjust camber by rotating the mount before attaching to the car body. You will want to orient the mount to be rotated to the same orientation as the original. If you did not note the position of the strut mount before you removed it, you are screwed.

Great video I'll be doing that job soon. Thanks👍

Very well , good video , thanks

Awesome. Thanks. Should be the same for my wife’s captiva

Good video,thanks bro.

Thank you, you helped me.

What sounds do bad struts make

Is that impact wrench a 1/4" or half?

That was a cordless impact driver?

What impact driver is that?

"You can look up the torque specs if that's something that you're interested in, but I'm just going to torque the ever loving Hell out of it!!!" 😆 Very helpful video though, thanks!👍

appreciate the video

Can a faulty struts cause loud clicking noises when stopping and going over bumps.

I tried some name brand quick struts on my Chevy van. They are made to fit many vehicles, so they will be variances. Mine dropped the body height over an inch and it caused some high speed vibration. I ended up just buying the struts, new bearing plate, and used the factory springs. Height restored and vibration gone. These aftermarket, foriegn made parts are sometimes not what they appear. Buyer beware. I saved money by reusing the springs, but took it in the shorts by having to do the job twice.

Hi do u have any idea if I can lower my terrain with any kit?

I was quoted 1250 for two struts and shocks

Thank you I subbed

This video help me a lot thank you

Did you have positive wheel camber? I just replaced my brothers and now there is a lot of positive wheel camber. Any suggestions?

He said "Crapsman" LOL

What model Craftsman impact did you buy

Those bolts on top of the strut should of been torqued to 18 ft lb, I'm thinking you way over tightened them.

Great job buddy!

Buen vídeo excelente saludos🔔🔔🔔🔔🤝👍🇺🇸
