Dodge should be ashamed to require all this disassembly to reach strut and spring... Never a Dodge again!

[@calimann83]

right, had a 2011 Dodge Charger. you have to completely remove the front bumper and a bunch of paneling just to replace the headlights.

[@SDPP992]

Well than be disappointed in any vehicle that has rear struts, GM is even worse

[@bammerbiff1621]

After watching this video I have two thoughts: 1) I can do this. 2) I don't want to do this.

[@nathangray1003]

Tutorial videos don't get any better then this. Thank you.

[@benjaminabel8596]

I'm just gonna cut a hole in the panel cause it'll be covered up by the seat anyway...

[@mikeeternal777]

This is one of the best repair videos I've seen 👏 Nice job.

[@daveevans2527]

Fantastic video! Did the job myself. Only variation is on 12 year old 2010, sway bar bolt impossible to loosen. Two corroded. Noticed in the video his sway bar linkages were new.... No corrosion. But if you do both sides at the same time, once you have removed the top nuts on both struts, the sway bar, with a little prying, will rotate enough the old struts can be removed, and new set in place.

[@GeorgeDugan-gx2xe]

Thank you for the awesome video! I really like all the details! This was very informative! Keep them coming! Great job!

It'd be great to see a video on the 2013 dodge journey sxt 3.6l without the third row seat.

[@orestdmytryshyn247]

Just did this recently. It actually is not that hard after you start. You can do without removing sway bar link. Just use couple small bottle jacks to maneuver shock and arm where you want it. I say do it yourself because you will clean all things under those panels - it collects horrific amount of dust. Pros chase $ they do not have time to clean all those crevices. This all is very doable in a day of slow work on a weekend. If you have air tools and car lift helps big time. Torque wrench a must here.

[@kingdavid2541]

Good work.. Nice and detailed

[@Kirby1969]

your walk thru videos are awesome, thank you!!!

[@deansavard2728]

Why didn't they put in access panels to remove the nuts

[@abelsarinana727]

Because everything is a damn Journey with this car...

[@chenettarobinson7292]

By the time you take all that apart, you don’t wanna do the job after

[@blackroomghofficial1097]

8 days later….

[@randyabstract4358]

Is the left rear strut the same as the right rear strut?

[@ImadeItTillMidnight]

Rotor is on backwards.

[@montsholong1459]

I like the way the torque wrench is used to ensure those lower suspension bolts are gudntite!

[@jonungles3848]

Awesome instructions,,and all that for 4 nuts....wow

[@Luiss_ce]

Thanks

[@stevejeremy8028]

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE PRODUCT EVER AGAIN !!!!!!! THIS IS BEYOND STUPID !!!!!

[@is-nv1lu]

On your video replacing the front struts on this same vehicle you removed the axle nuts but didn’t on this video for the rear struts. Is there a reason why you would need to remove them for the rear?

[@knucklesmf3280]

This is absolutely disgusting. I'm so glad I got out of automotive and into heavy equipment.

[@stoneysdead2000]

Just got a quote for 755 bucks for this job.Sounds about right for all u gotta do geez....

[@brianvinzant1893]

Someone want to tell me if I could just drill a hole to be able to stick a socket in? Is there a reason I can't just do that

[@raymondwhitley2838]

That sucks so bad I need mine done

[@byronarriola4304]

Good video. What a nightmare of a job, bet the dealer charges an arm and a leg 👀

[@carlosvargas-fv1ti]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lambbenally]

I wanted to vacuum everything before reassembled. 😂

[@phcllc1323]

Take a shot every time you hear aspect.

[@bernierosado106]

Que proyecto me espera mañana!!😬😖😡

[@timgiesin4025]

It looks like 2009 -10 strut that was removed and a 2011 and new strut replaced

[@betsydonato6817]

3:37 - This far into the video,,,you have got to be kidding me. Why not make a compartment access to those mounts, rather than removing and rebuilding the entire interior ? - The Dealer needs to include not only a 3 day survival kit, but a tool box complete classroom in these death traps.

[@delrodriguezx]

Ridiculous i have to take the whole seat out just for this

[@pkloehe]

Dodge should be ashamed

[@stevejeremy8028]

WHO WOULD EVER THINK STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED !!!!!

[@meme2780]

Stop with the Red thread locker, Can't get heat in those spots to take off again, Get blue that is made for it and stop being shitty!

[@vladmalyk3257]

Dodge is horrible😂
