Thank you for the in depth video on the strut replacement. Love the tips and tricks like the socket and extension to make a breaker bar. I too have used the Monroe Quick struts on a Lexus ES 300. For me, the cost was the same as buying the individual parts so having them pre-assembled was a huge benefit in time and effort. My son has a 2010 TL SH-AWD that I will be helping him with. Do you have any videos on the 09-12 Acura TL's?

Should of done my work first. Was in a hurry, messed up the bottom strut bolt it just keeps turning now and broke the passenger side cv joint forcing the strut into the sleeve. Now got more work to do and money to spend and probably lost my new job where I haven't even started working yet. Yay for me!!!!

the wheel height vs. body affects the tie rod position hence the alignment. With tie-rod behind acle you can expect a toe-out situation: the car will be all over the road, hard to drive straight.... expect to need an alignment.

Just ordered some of the monroe struts the rubber boot in the struts was slid down a bit wondered if I should slide it up snug against the top so the inner of the strut is not exposed?. I’m guessing and hoping that the left and right are the same part? I know oem left and right have different part numbers.
