[@RangeRov49]

Thanks for the guide! I can tell you had a hard time taking the sway bar link off because the strut and link are new in your demonstration, then the next step is the old strut 🤣. Always buy new links when you replace your struts, folks!

[@recall2880]

So does this mean if you replace the sprint and strut as one unit you won’t have to compress the spring?

[@sylviaisgod6947]

3:25 13:32 So, is that nut 18 mm or 19mm? Thanks.

[@genesishill4495]

What are the torque values

[@tate3220]

Can anyone confirm this part is safe? Trying to decide to go this rout or OEM

[@flyonawall6521]

Wheel alignment required after this?

[@TRQ]

+@flyonawall6521 Yes, an alignment will be needed.

[@josephzuniga2994]

It’s a good quality TRQ shocks?

[@525joshua1]

How bad does replacing struts mess up your alignment.

[@kwayzaar03]

Anyone know the size of the push pins that secure the hood cowl? I broke mine taking the cowl off 🫤
