Sound like this?

@@Donnythelatemodeltech ya kinda like that!! Also I gonna do rear struts but I gonna change springs to hotchkis lower ones my friend gave me. Do I just decompress the old springs by themselves so I can use the compressors on the new ones what do I hold on to while decompressing? Thnks great vids! 👍🏻

It's just clips on. All you need is a plastic pry tool to pop em loose. It's just a lot of them which makes it annoying. Just like you have to take the trunk liner off just to change license plate bulbs, it's annoying

Yes you can!

Don't remember. But, yeah , not jacking up the alignment is good.

No, the GS450H has adjustable control struts that you control with the sport button. If you don’t care about this feature and you never use that sport button, then you can use the GS300 struts KYB 551108 for the rears. Just leave the control that go on top of the strut unplugged because there’s no place to plug them into on theses struts. You’ll won’t get any warning messages on your instrument panel and your sports button will still come on when you press it. It just won’t do anything.

I was thinking the same also when he took them out compressing the springs I think would have made the crowbar unnecessary. About to do this type of job so I will know soon 👍

@@debojr78 Oof, good luck. Did mine a few months ago - definitely will never do again lol. Got the hang of it after the 1st but it's still a PIA. You'll likely need a crowbar unless you unbolt the arm at the joint, but then you'll struggle lining up the bolts by yourself (had to get a second pair of hands to line it up while I hammered it in). Having a jack will help to line up the bolt holes, however.

@@sirjared21 🤣 I've said that several times not doing that again and bought another car and found myself doing it again thanks for the heads up I always plan for hiccups tho why I clear the entire day just in case I'm in there where ever when the moon is now your added light. Just bought a low projack and said to myself I'm going to need atleast two more trans. Jack and another floor jack but thanks bro 🤙many other projects ahead of me.

@@debojr78 No problemo. Btw, another tip: you'll need to keep the spring compressor on while you seat it so you can adjust it to line up with the top bolt openings (unless you can get lucky and twist it the right way outside the car). Only thing is, if you have a large compressor it will get stuck in there so you won't be able to compress/release. So try to find one that's not so bulky (I rented a bulky one at Oreilly's... so avoid that one lol).

Nope

Yes

Hu?

And he put his face right in front of the strut with the loaded springs.

Tool truck 🚚

@@Donnythelatemodeltech which tool truck Matco doesn’t sell that for Milwaukee nor does snap on

It did correct the vibration i had on the highway.

Keeps everything straighter when u don’t touch it, if something been crashed or bent it makes it hard to get it back. I think it’s easier doing it the way he did it.

It would throw aliment off to

@@qfitz7265 All you have to do is just mark the adjustment bolts, the same thing a shop would do.

@@qfitz7265whenever you do these type of job youre supposed to get an alignment done anyway.

friend and i have a trick where he stands and jumps on the top control arm and i try to get the strut in

Lol.

This one strut, bought to make this one video, coilovers a few days later.

Thanks for sharing

@@Donnythelatemodeltech And you pry'ed against halfshaft to lower the spring link down, was the boot damaged at all?

@@nickpark9587 no

good job
