Excellent videos. Not only a straightforward way to explain the procedure, but with the tool sizes and torque specs detailed. Always my first stop before I get to it! BTW- going to post this same comment on the front/rear video. Thank you 🙏🏼

Excellent to the point video. Just replaced my rear struts with the new TRQ struts in my 2011 outback. Fairly easy job and fit perfectly.

Great and helpful video. I used a 24” pry bar but was only able to successfully complete the swap because my friend was standing on it. A 36” or longer one would have been better fyi

Thank you so much! Clear steps and right to the point. 😊

No need to preload the strut?
