What brand are the struts and for what car originaling?

Sorry for the delay. Thank you very much for watching my video. I really appreciate it. Good luck with your project. The car is a 2012 Dodge Avenger SXT 2.4. The struts are from Autozone. Fronts (Right & Left): Duralast Loaded Strut Assembly LS34-84931L = $147.99 Duralast Loaded Strut Assembly LS34-84931R = $147.99 Rear strut (2x): Duralast Loaded Strut Assembly LS33-81042B = $132.99 ea.

Thanks for the video brother.... Def helps. What are the torque settings for the nuts or did you mean the specifications come from the strut manufacturer and not from Dodge?

[@jardinautoworks]

@@jimshadynz1707 The torque specs were from the Hayes automotive repair manual for that car. So I suspect that the torque specs are similar to the specs found in the Dodge service manual.

great video! Thank you! I'll be doing this project on my 2014 this weekend, I have solid confidence to do it now. One question, is a front end alignment needed after replacing the struts?

[@jardinautoworks]

Thank you very much for watching my video. I really appreciate it. I would recommend getting an alignment after the job - it's good practice - just to make sure you go down the road straight and not cause undue wear on the tires, but just to replace the struts, it's not necessary. There are no alignment adjustments on the strut itself. Let me know how you did...if you had any issues or if you found anything I should have done differently. I'm interested.
