Good job explaining the procedure. Will be replacing the 2 rear struts soon. over 90,000 miles on my 2018 and its time.

Good instructions. Thank you. I just finished all four struts on my 2011 OB. I should have used the pry bar method on the rears. Instead, I disconnected all four bolts from the lower swing arm, the knuckle, the strut, the sway bar link, and the swing arm attachment bolt up near the center of the car. I had a bitch of a time getting all the bolts lined up and and back in. Hopefully I’ll never have to do it again, but if I do, I’ll surely use the pry bar method.

It's hard as hell to hear you talking with the annoying blasting music!

[@BeDiligentinHim]

Great video!! The music was a little much but it’s all good.

Pretty straight forward, I'll be replacing hole assembly..bolt off bolt on, Another question?! No torque specs?

[@efixes8010]

Lol I don’t Torque it down I just use my electric gun but I believe the top bolts are 22.4 ft-lb and the bottom is 46 ft-lb

What necessitated the strut replacement on such a new vehicle? Had it been driven on rough roads?

[@budokaiboy]

You need to turn the music up even more

Thanks for the video, it really helped me out.

[@Siteboy80]

Amazing method! Thanks man

[@pjludda4323]

Warning to anyone thinking about using this method and if you're trying to do this by yourself, don't. This method needs two people to do this right, one to push down on the crowbar and the other to remove, slide in, the struts. You might get the old one off, but without another person putting all his weight down on the crowbar you won't have enough travel to slot the new one in. If you're by yourself. Look at the arm the strut is attached to, go back to front, remove all the bolts, then off/on. The only issue would be the reassembly, which would be to line them up, then get the bolt back on the last one, should line up the other two and save yourself the aggravation.

[@robsibley885]

Just put the top in first then you only have to flex the suspension a little to slide the bottom into place. Super easy for one person. Just did it this morning on my 2017 outback.

[@lifeisgood070]

If I lift the rear should I get anything to make alignment easier?

[@efixes8010]

If you are just doing the rear struts, you do not need to do an alignment

[@robertabreyer]

cant hear the audio. sounds like a discotheque

[@russelblackwell6041]

why do videos with noisy music in the background

[@efixes8010]

Because I don’t work alone
