You made it super simple man, thanks!

[@barneymurphy8623]

A very thorough video ! 👌

[@demelom2596]

Great video I’m ready to get the job done.

What were the torque specs on the lower strut mounting bolts?

[@professorFG]

I removed all the the nuts, three on top, one on stabilizer link and two on strut and entire strut assemble won't come down. I was thinking of hammering it down, but haven't done it, worried I'm missing something here. Any suggestions?

[@RebuildMedia]

Once you remove the nut from axle place it back on and then hammer it out

[@gldixon86]

When done should you get a front end alignment or no?

[@TRQ]

+@gldixon86 Yes, an alignment should be done after installation.

[@mr.t3520]

When he threads the nut back on the bolt and uses a socket to hammer...NEVER DO THIS. You can damage your threads and compromise the bolt and your socket. Use a penetrant solution and turn the bolt in the hole lightly before prying under the head, again, with grip but loosely.

[@tally191]

Why did remove the axle nut?

[@BigAlWillis]

do you have to? thinking about doing this job soon.

Whatever you do, do not touch the nut in the middle of a triangle with a spring and strut assembly while it's still married to the housing and frame. 😂🃏 🦇
