I completed this job yesterday. I left the spindle attached to the UCA. I removed the two 22MM bolts on the bottom of the spindle and removed the bolts for the sway bar. That was it. No need to remove the ABS wire and steering rod. Removed the strut and installed taller one. I was able to push the LCA out of the way to fit the taller struts. After installing the four strut nuts, I jacked up the LCA, installed the lower strut bolt, and then the two 22MM bolts to the spindle, and finally the sway bar. I found this the easiest way for me to do this job given I was installing taller struts.

Also, this is a 2wd Tundra, the 4wd has the CV axle ,which Could pull out with UCA/ Spindle disconnected. Go ahead and make this Look Easy

A tie rod seperator tool is called a Pickle fork, which is what we used to use in the old days. This looks much easier, good video :)

@Jennifer-007 3 года назад

You and your neighbor make a great team, he's very fortunate to have such a handy neighbor. :o) My only comment would be that while you're talking about removing the four nuts at the top of the tower a reminder to NOT touch the one in the middle that contains the load on the spring. LOL

I sold my 2007 4.7v8 already, idk why im watching this.

@carolinawestern3875 7 месяцев назад

I was curious if it could be removed without pressing the spring. Because, even with the upper arm swung up. My Mcpherson style presser couldnt be used. (Hooks too big) I didn't unhook the end links, so the 1st one was a pain!

@paxster76 3 года назад

hello, have a question, my tundra is 2wd 2007, can I install 4wd struts assemply?? thanks for video....

@tjanderson6274 13 дней назад

Just double checking before i pay for the parts, my tundra is driving superrr rough and i can literally feel every bump and both struts have a leaking fluid. That means it’s time to change out the front struts correct?

@douglaskennedy9486 3 года назад

I just completed this job last night, was simple and this video was helpful! Onn question, after tying everything back up my brakes are a bit more mushier than before any thoughts? Taking it in today for alignment and to get this checked out.

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 3 года назад

I'm glad the video was able to help you out, and that's kind of strange did you disconnect any brake lines? If so you might have added air into the system so you have to probably Bleed It Out but sometimes that can go away on its own if you let it sit for a while since air travels up it will eventually leave the system

@douglaskennedy9486 3 года назад

ERICSDIYGARAGE Thanks for the reply! Yah guessing air got in somehow or was in there already and moving the lines around caused the issue to become more pronounced. Thank you!

@abosworth 2 года назад

Nicely done on the video. Can you report on ride quality? This looks like a solid replacement. I know sometimes the springs on assemblies are not as good as stock but in this case, the spring appears to be just as good.

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 2 года назад

The owner said it was better than stock so I don't think you'll notice much of difference. For the price I would go for it

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE good deal, thanks man. I have a 2014 in 4wd so it's not quite the same part number but I was looking at the Gabriel strut/shock assembly on rock auto. I have spring compressors so I can swap springs if I want too but it's just so nice to just be able to swap the whole assembly

@ahkiok 8 месяцев назад

Just replaced struts on my 2015 Tundra and after watching several videos I did not use this one and neither should you. Do not remove the castellated nut on the upper A arm and don't remove the tie rod end. Find a video that shows removal of the 2 lower knuckle bolts and you will save yourself a lot of time and headache. If you are working off jack stands like I was the only trick was to use the hydraulic jack to lift the lower A arm into place.

Why didn't you just use a spring compressor before removal so you didn't need to take apart all that shit to get it out?
