Axle nut removal not recommended or necessary. Lift the entire rear so the sway bar pulls both spindles down. Use a ratchet strap to pull/position each spindle downward and out of the way

[@NonnobisDomine113]

In both the front and rear strut replacement videos, it looks like you're using a new sway bar. The link in the description goes to just the strut, not a new sway bar as well. Is a new sway bar needed? If so, which one did you use for both front and rear?

[@troy9er]

Looked pretty easy!

[@asintonic]

Hi thank you can i do this with a 2 ton floor jack for a 2003 highlander? Thanks

[@marcusdarnell3348]

Can you use a screwdriver if you don't a have punch to knock in the axle nut? Nice video

[@yoyobored847]

Oreilleys has some separators but if your thing is rusted in there. Have fun

[@marcustartsah2100]

Will the process be the same for a 2011 Highlander?

[@TheWillysmith87]

Alignment necessary after?

[@TRQ]

+asdsie ksefbo We do recommend getting an alignment after installing any suspension parts.

[@Moabel]

What tools were used?

[@noahguymon6588]

Is the part number for third row seat the same as without third row seat?

[@TRQ]

+@noahguymon6588 The part linked in the video is specifically for models without third row seating.

[@rickeydidio]

Can these be done like the front without loosening the axle nut?

[@mikekmalick]

Good question! My friend wants me to replace his on rear. I just did his fronts.

[@yoyobored847]

Their damn struts would not line I had to force them in. The studs on top. Poor quality. Don't buy cheap. Buy oem and save doing it yourself. Lifetime warranty is not even worth it. It's going to cost you more headaches and money if these fail a year or two and then have to replace them!

[@Suddenmindfulness]

Chile I thought I was about to do this myself…😅😂

[@PimptatoPCs]

Is the process any different for a Hybrid?

[@mvc2177]

I have the same question. Have you got an answer?
