Got into it, thought I found a shortcut, then ended up doing it this way. Following the directions one side took me 1/2 hr, doing it "my way" I spent 2 hours lol

thank you thank you thank you. I found this instructional video VERY helpful, don't think there are any short-cuts that make it any easier or quicker, at least for me. ditto the missing drive shaft to hub connection and torque, but found it in the comments herein. the dealer in henderson nevada wanted $900 to do ONE! without any guarantee! said I didn't need to do them both, UGH! I bought a pair for $300 with a lifetime guarantee, and did one myself. the other started leaking within a year, so i just did that one. very much thanks for the torques. I found the job to be rather easy, taking my time about 4 hours each side with help only in getting the new strut up in the fender in place. I just saved $1500, have a lifetime guarantee, and thought it was fun. and, I very much like my 2017 trailhawk

You don't necessarily HAVE to take off the axle or caliper, I just did both on a 2014 and I was able to get it removed without removing those items and without putting excess stress on said parts.

@@jesseshort8 Hi, yes. I calculated around 500kg “force” on the spring so used 3x650kg tie down ratchet straps to keep the spring compressed after compressing it with a trolley jack with the suspension. After that I removed the stupid plastic upper retainer and the brake/abs lines. After removed the single pinch bolt and I had enough space to slide the whole strut out without removing anything else. It is much quicker, safer and cheaper not to mention you don’t need to realign the wheels after literally disassembling the whole suspension.

If at the bottom of the strut the little fin that helps to keep the strut straight snaps off should the whole thing be replaced?

Torque specs are wrong. The ball joint nut is 18 ft/lbs plus 175 degrees. Strut to knuckle bolt is 81 ft/lbs. Stabilizer bar link is 41 ft/lbs. Tie rod nut and caliper bracket bolts they got right though.

It takes some doing, hand someone help you. I used a long bar with a strap around the control to give more leverage and then had a buddy position the ball joint.

I can co firm that you do actually need to do all the steps listed in this video to replace the struts, there are no shortcuts. I advise just having a shop replace them because you may destroy your ujoints and tie rod ends in the process of doing this video which the shop would have been responsible for during there quote if they destroy the parts during removal

Wrong, with your steps there is no way to lift the strut high enough to get out of the knuckle. You have to get the knuckle lower

@@seanbanez it's called a pry bar through the control arm to get the knuckle low enough and you simply tap the old strut up with a 3 1/2 pound hammer it slides out of the knuckle with plant of room to go back up into the strut tower,high enough to remove the strut from the knuckle and then slip the strut out.if I'm saying it,its because I've done it with the same exact model .

@@gregrim5982 i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is inaccurate, the strut’s spring prevents this from happening, basically you have to pry the system all apart, and it’s awful- i tried to pry this system every which way- and no go.
