You don't need to remove the wipers or the plastic cowls. Unclip the lower cowl from the strut brace (Xmas tree clips along the bottom and the 4 on the front), turn the clip 1/4 turn close to the middle near the passenger side wiper (to disengage it), undo/remove the plastic "screws" and clips on the outside most corners. The you can lift the cowl up enough (it will unclip along the top). The you can unbolt the strut brace and remove it from the vehicle. Good video

One of the best tutorials I have ever watched. Thanks so much for adding the torque specks to your video. that really helps out.

When replacing the front struts, do I have to replace the rear ones at the same time as well?

Wow. I don't even have a need to do this but I was searching for something else, found this. Couldn't stop watching. Why? Watched a lot of DIY auto repair videos. I've never seen one as well produced and written as this. Sublime.

I had to do this job 3 yrs ago because my brother was told that the shop wanted over $900 to do this. He bought the parts and we did this in my garage at home for less than half of that amount. It was a PITA to go through the access points near the wipers but overall, we got it done ourselves and saved about $500

Gives VERY GOOD info and specs! Not drawn out watching removing removing wheel lug nuts and other crap!! Love straight to the point!!

Thank you for the video! My friend and I were able to do this in 3.5 hours. Unlike most projects, we didn't run into any issues. Great guide, thank you!

The BEST VIDEO I have ever seen on a replacement, WOW!!!!

Thank you for this video I just changed the struts in my friend's 2016 Dodge Journey and she was so satisfied 👍🏼👍🏼 TRQ

I am now clearly informed I don't have a socket large enough to remove the axle but lol. Good video.

Hello, thank you so much , it is a perfect demonstration, with lots of details, helping every one. Well done. Question please, how to buy a complete set for front and rear struts . My shipping address to ,Hamilton Ontario Canada. ? Thank you

I need the strut, cv axle and wheel bearing replaced. So would you advice me to change the strut first, then the cv axle then the wheel bearing?

Can this fit a 2.4l I was checking the website but the title says v6 3.6?

Do you need a wheel alignment after?

Thank so much 🙌🏻

You do good work

Thanks for this powerful video.

What was the torque spec for the 3 upper stut assembly boldts?

Can anyone tell me, the housing that goes around the top of the strut on a 2012 dodge journey, is that fully enclosed around the strut, or is it open in the back that leads to the engine? I can't see there on the backside nearest to the cabin if it's open or not.

Hmm, my 09 journey says spindle nut front is 97 foot pounds and rear is 181. I just replaced the front hub and now I’m second guessing the torque spec.

Good very good

Can you do this without all the shop tools?

I learned something

Do for 2011-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee please

Very informative videos. Keep up the excellent work.

God damn, all that for a strut, literally took the wheel off a mazda 3 and had to undo a whopping 4 bolts to take out the whole thing

Is this a v6

Why do I need to replace both if only one is bad?

181 ft pounds for the axle nut sounds high to me considering on the grand Caravan it's 118 ft pounds some say 97 ft pounds.
