Jeep Patriot Rear Strut Assembly Replacement & Bushing Preload

In this video I show how I removed the rear left strut assembly, how I compressed the coil spring to replaced the shock absorber and how I installed the assembly. The procedure also includes the preloading of the bushings and the setting of the torque.

I'm in Ohio so having someone with the same vehicle as mine dealing with a similar amount of rust and going through maintaining the vehicle step by step is insanely helpful. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the comment. You can also watch my last video about an other hub replacement I did using a hub removal tool.
