Hey bro.........Thanks for the great clip. Love your your work

[@nestorautorepair]

Hey thanks Joseph for your feedback

One trick I found that works great for getting the knuckle separated from the strut is to put a small bottle jack between the knuckle and the bottom of the strut ear. It’s alot easier then whacking it.

As you said, its a difficult job. You didnt show putting the top mount bolts back in from the engine bay ?? I had alot of trouble lining the holes up !! Getting enough slack to rotate the top mount into correct postion. I had to put spring compressors on to help me !!

[@mdscole]

Great video! Thanks for putting it together! Is that really a used strut that you spent all that effort replacing?

[@nestorautorepair]

Yes that's what the owner got lol

[@nestorautorepair]

Thanks for your feedback

[@shanvhere78]

Next time use a chisel where the pinch bolt is to separate the clamp and the strut will slide out easy

[@nestorautorepair]

Sure thanks

[@durangojake-536]

I’m having alot of trouble with this strut replacement

[@durangojake-536]

When I jack the wheel assemble up the new strut is pushing it out ward to the point in not any where near the lower control arm

[@nestorautorepair]

Yes that's what I say in the video is not easy but you can do it just fallow what I say

[@lukew2194]

[@TyRC12]

Thank you for the reply. None says it or has it listed in description. Appreciate the response. Keep up the great work

[@1337penguinman]

That lower ball joint is a pain in the butt.

[@nestorautorepair]

Yes it is

☝️Because this car has a lot of space, you do not need to open everything at all. First: open the wheel, second: open the steering wheel. Third: Open the stabilizer from above. Fourth: Loosen the screw connecting the spring to the navel. Fifth: Pull the wheel down with a lever. If necessary, heat it a little with a hair dryer and apply it on WD40. Now: just open the hood from above, open the plastic cover between the front window and the hood halfway, you do not need to open the windshield wiper, if you have Ford Kuga 2008-2013. 😉It opens easily.

[@mollywapyo]

🤨Do not put the jack under the rotor u will damage the wheel bearing😬

[@mikeruiz1360]

You took shock off and video ended then you started with installing shock??? What happened with the coil and other part around shock, how does that come off and go back on?? Thumbs down.
