High praise to everyone involved in this production. I used to make instructional videos for a living and can attest that this is excellent in every way.

[@seantherien1916]

So I didn't take anything off that wasn't directly bolted to strut lol. So much extra work for no reason. No need to loosen the axle nut. No need to touch a windshield wiper/motor.

[@almostwhite27]

Wow, this is well explained-- I don't even have a xB, but this is filmed nicely!

[@HenryPorter332]

This is a great video. While not exactly the same, it was a close enough process to help me through replacing my Scion XD's struts.

[@typhoon320i]

I wouldn't think you need to remove the axle nut. Is there not enough flexibility to separate the strut, and the knuckle otherwise?

[@jefforris8119]

Great video. Thanks for pointing out the valve stem

[@kb7uxe]

Excellent video , Thank you Sir.

[@anunpopularstance]

Why did you remove the axle nut? It was not required to remove the struts.

[@mohabens5469]

Great video. What size socket did you use for the axle nut?

[@jeremiahdelossantos3035]

My alignment shop said that I need camber bolts. Replaced with factory springs that bought from you. It's stock, why do I need camber bolts?

[@paulrevere9071]

you don't need to do all of the gyrations with the cowl and the wiper assemblies. 12mm is all you need. I did it. And, what about the way the 30mm nut is "staked" on. you'll destroy the threads on the drive shaft and the nut. I know, because I did it.

[@eddieyan5529]

MUST HAVE THE WHOLE FRONT IN LIFTED BEFORE YOU BEGIN!!!! Having one side lifted will not work because sway bar will not allow the knuckle to fully drop

[@Alex-ti3uf]

You can cheat not removing the cover.

[@typhoon320i]

Drilled and slotted rotors with, Rusty ass steelies, and calipers? LOL!

[@KickingtheDonksNuts]

that's not the point of this video. It is covered in another video
