What's the name of the spring holder?

[@omasis19]

Very good

[@bkp-pq1fl]

Is cleaning part of the repair? From customer's perspective? Do you charge extra for that? Thanks!

[@autodocuk]

We cannot give you proper answer as we do not offer repair service.

[@howlingcommandose]

Nice video, though if you have a racheting box wrench you will not need to remove the windshield wiper assembly and cowl. It reaches right in but the nuts are removed from inside, outside and then front.

Are you sure the 19mm Bolts are set @ 85nm? ATG, Toyota & I say its 240nm (177ft lbs) for Two 19mm

[@brianw6645]

Great question. One I would like to ask as well.

[@SenLin3]

I think it's a mistake, most publications have 113ft for 2005

[@popoya5549]

Does changing give big different ? My prius is not smooth enough

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, we do not have such information, we recommend that you consult with your mechanic.

Why use a breaker bar THEN impact wrench? I can see MAYBE for the bolts holding the strut to the knuckle if your impact is marginal, but for the wheels?

[@wty1313]

@@autodocuk OK - I was asking in case there was a specific reason for doing it that way, as it''s unusual to implement a breaker bar AND an impact wrench unless there is an issue.

[@noidoi4593]

Strange to see a US version with non US wheels... the conventional way to torque the MC pherson struts is ''wheels on the floor situation'' putting pressure from down with a jack for exemple. Need a front axle geometry adjustement.

[@autodocuk]

Yes, you are right, your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.

[@alexey9900]

Good 👍👍👍

[@PedroCarvalho-xd4fo]

i changed the struts without taking the windshield...save at least 45 minutes.

Do you have a link?

[@Menoxz]

85 Nm for lower strut bolt? more like 240 Nm, hopefully most people ignored that torque spec, considered the amount of torque required to unfasten it and sheer size of the bolt and nut itself

[@autodocuk]

Yes, you are right the correct torque is 153 Nm, this will be useful for us. Thank you for your consideration.

[@yofoshizzle66]

Ugh I put that rubber spacer in the wrong spot. Oh well it will probably be fine.
