First video I've seen that uses a strap to hold the wheel so it doesn't fall. Great idea!

[@houladog]

on pre assembled struts with coils already installed, how wld you mix the oil inside the shock? or is it needed?

[@kaffetrakter4174]

You were lucky with that sway bar link. I always buy new ones, along with struts, i just cut them right off, dont bother trying to undo them. Difficult to get them off without destroying them as a diyer with limited tools

Geez what a great video. Thank you so much.

Hmmm….didn’t realize you could do it without undoing the knuckle. I swapped a junkyard strut tower onto my Vibe, yeah a gamble I know but was a good learning experience. It ended up not really being any better so I just put my old one back on and returned them. Anyhow, I went through all the work of taking off the knuckle…or at least letting it hanng there on the ball joint (axle out of course so I don’t think there was any chance of pulling the cv apart. I’d previously replaced the knuckles with loaded knuckle assemblies).

Super great vid. Thank you! Is that Jersey, Boston or NY accent?

[@wilfredoortiz3150]

Well presentation

[@fw1421]

You’re replacing everything but the spring. Why not get an assembly? They are almost the same price as the single shock.

[@jenz695]

Do you need to do an alignment after?

[@TRQ]

+Jenz Yes, an alignment would need to be done after the installation.

Macho man I love that

[@JohnJohnson-ed8tr]

Better than the average man

[@jimbailie8493]

She did not show torquing the upper shock bolt/ nut or she forgot to do it.

[@masonichisenga3032]

I dropped the CV joint out. How do I correct that?

[@TRQ]

+Masoni Chisenga This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

I cannot believe you used an impact wrench to assemble the new one. 😮😵‍💫👎🏼

[@melissawey2104]

Why did you put on a piece that old and worn out and then put it back on the car😣

[@lixsrod8175]

Maybe just to show people they can if they have to. Quit being petty wey

[@jenz695]

Do you need to do an alignment after?

[@TRQ]

+Jenz Yes, an alignment would need to be done afterwards.
