Excellent instructions AND camera work! It's VERY rare to get both of those on KZbin!!

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CarlosRodriguez-we7mk]

Great video. Remember to return all fasteners and torque specs as needed. Thank you for your video

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Good tip!

[@h.m6237]

I've never done this but you made it look easy. Maybe I can save several hundred doing it myself. Also, you looking at the tire, you may have needed an alignment even before this job

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Awesome. If we can do it so can you. Just watch as many times to familiarize yourself with the job. Definitely needed an alignment before but told the customer to have everything done before and then get new tires and an alignment.

[@innovative5428]

dude you video yes what I need thank you 😀👍

[@MobileCarMechanic]

No problem 👍

[@johnnyramos6344]

Great video by the way. I dare to it myself...thanks.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Go for it! It's doable. Appreciate the support.

[@namrogful]

You don't need an alignment after replacing those struts. And use a jackstand

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thanks for the comment. Definitely recommend using a jack stand. This car needed an alignment as the tire was worn unevenly on the driver side.

[@brianwest1501]

Good job.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you!

[@law0472]

Great video

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you. Glad it helped.

[@DizTraveler]

just the video i need to watch, as my camry 2013 F/Passenger needs to be replaced, great work, i did notice the audio went out after loud noises, common for mics to do that on certain phones. other than that, great! i wonder if u did the rear struts replacements?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Unfortunately sometimes the mic gets weird or covered. But hopefully the video still helps. I haven’t done the rear struts as the owner hasn’t wanted to do them yet. Good luck and Cheers!

[@DizTraveler]

@@MobileCarMechanic well being an audio/visual tech, if you plan to do more videos, invest in a wireless lavileir mic that clips onto your shirt, well if the owner does need them replaced, even if they don't, i am sure people will want to see it done. Thanks for the prompt reply! However based on my research, my Camry 2013 SE i have found my vehicle won't be able to use the products you used. I guess Toyota altered the specs for the SE version. But based on what i saw at the wheel its basically the same. I did order me 2 new sway bars, as the rubber grommets on the driver side looked crackled...

[@2002erli]

Good Video- thank you! ! !

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Cheers!

[@user-yn3qp9zg7h]

Thanks!

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Glad the video was helpful! Thank you for your donation! Cheers!

[@TherdBuddhist]

Have you forgotten to tie the ABS line to the wheel because a new one doesn't have clip- lock?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

I took care of it off camera as the strut didn’t have a bracket to allow the sensor to clip on to. A zip tie will work just fine. Cheers!

[@Cristian-pw1iv]

that spring be looking skinny compared to the oem one, should use kyb or sachs next time they usually hold up better

[@MobileCarMechanic]

So far so good

[@michaelcuthbertson1931]

Nice video only you didn’t re-anchor the ABS sensor. Had you’d tried you would have found that the hole could not be used as it is too far out toward the lower strut bolts and the steering knuckle interferes

[@MobileCarMechanic]

I appreciate the info. I didn’t realize the clip was attached to strut till now. Good to know that it would have caused issues had it been routed via the clip. Thanks and Cheers!

[@michaelcuthbertson1931]

@@MobileCarMechanic That's where the problem comes in. Unless you know of a universal clip or devise a tyrap solution the hole needs to be relocated the diameter for the original strut hole and redrilled. You'll need a drill press for that and also make sure you don't drill into the strut tube. I've submitted this info to Monroe on 10/12/22 but have not heard back yet. The easiest solution for them would be to include a new clip that fits the new hole but does not go too deep as to hit the steering knuckle.

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Nice job

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you!

[@justinsharp6505]

With toyotas only use oem or kyb struts and oem toyota strut mount and bearing ..you'll bee doing the same job in less than 10000 miles..

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you for the info! Cheers!

[@felixfelix2274]

Buen video 👍

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you!

[@appsfight]

Excellent video, do you have one for control arm?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Not yet. Not sure when I will get to do so.

[@johnnyramos6344]

Do you have a video replacing the rear quick struts on the same 2014 Toyota Camry?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

I don't have a video for rear struts. Definitely something I can do in the future.

[@elvirajumelles226]

Porque sigue sonando sise cambió todo

[@EricD-og1mt]

What’s your opinion on the ride Quality of those quick pre loaded struts...??

[@MobileCarMechanic]

So far so good. Not sure how many miles on it now. But the owner is a ride share driver and he’s had no complaints so far. When I took it for a test drive it seemed like OEM quality.

[@brassmule]

Jack stands, my brother in Christ. If you value your life and your customer's vehicles, use jackstands.

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you for the concern and we will implement more safety measures in future videos. Cheers!

[@MexicanNYAmerican]

Are those harbor freight wheel chocks? And if so are they good?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

They work well. I’ve had them for a couple of years now. They are from harbor freight. I think they were like 7 bucks. Cheap and solid. I’d recommend it

[@StevenRhymer-yx2ow]

What about the torque on each bolts

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Top Bolts : 85 N-m 63 In.lbf Lower Bolts: 290 N-m 214.in.lbf

[@girmayg1]

Quick Q? Could you give me the model number of Mobreo quick strut you used?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Parts: Monroe Shocks & Struts 182940: amzn.to/3AZ3on5 (Right) Monroe Shocks & Struts 182941: amzn.to/3is79v6 (Left)

[@ImionsaeXwb77]

for the price of that Monroe you could of got KYB...

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thank you for the info. i know KYB is good but did Monroe decline in quality?

[@ImionsaeXwb77]

@@MobileCarMechanic Don't think Monroe is on the same level as KYB...

[@sovietrepublic38]

No torque wrenches?😨

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@TheParchisi]

It's the German torque technique. Crank it down till she's "guten-tight."

[@zillsburyy1]

how many miles do they last?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

I don’t have a figure of miles. Most online say to replace every 60k.

[@shyne5637]

They last maybe 500 to 1000 miles tops not for a long term repair if u plan on keeping the car for awhile don’t do monroe

[@MrMakaveli2786]

What ratchet is that ?

[@MobileCarMechanic]

It’s discontinued but right now you can get this for cheaper than what I bought mine for and they are offering a free battery www.harborfreight.com/12v-cordless-38-in-ratchet-tool-only-57280.html

[@shyne5637]

Monroe struts are trash I put them brand new on my Hyundai and my Lexus 2 to 3 months later I had to warrenty them out and the new ones did the same the strut bearings when turning make noise brand new they are trash I went with a kyb never heard the noise or problem again

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Thanks for the info. So far the customer hasn’t had any issues or complaints. This car belongs to an Uber driver so they rack up miles quick. Cheers!

[@shyne5637]

Come on use them muscles guy lol

[@MobileCarMechanic]

Lol had noodle arms from other cars that were worked on that day. Gonna have to hit the gym haha. Cheers!
