TO ANYONE THAT IS DOING THIS IN THE FUTURE. You don't NEED to take the axle nut off or remove the wipers. I simply pulled up on the plastic cover and was able to get to the nuts for the strut mount. It will save you time to skip those steps! Also, get new sway bar links. The old ones have Nylon lock nuts on them. The easiest way to get them off it to heat them up with a butane of propane torch to melt the Nylon allowing you to get it off easier. Probably wont be able to get them tight after melting em! Good luck to any DIYers who are doing this on their garage floor!

This is how you do tutorials on YouTube. Good job sir!

Great job no idle chit chat for 10 minutes right to it, done

[Jyantis]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for adding the torque specs!

[mgherter]

Great video, thanks. One thing I'd say though is that I don't think it's 100% necessary to remove the axle nut and pop the shaft back. There should be enough play and clearance to get the old strut out and the new one in. In the rust belt that axle spline will be seized like a mother and will probably torpedo what is otherwise a pretty simple job.

Once again a very well paced, informative video. Thanks!

Great Video, clean editing, straight to the point A+ (except for the axle nut?)

[devinmolyn]

So what parts will an alignment shop adjust after doing this? I know you should get an alignment but I don't understand why. What will they adjust that we messed with?

[alecpedrotty]

I’m excited to do this on my van! Thank you for the informational video :)

[cdronnn]

I've watched so many of these videos and I see everyone in the videos using a torque wrench on everything. They very rarely use torque wrenches in shops except for when it comes to head gaskets.

[DonD]

Why are you removing the Axle Nut? What is the purpose? Every other tutorial I have seen this step is skipped. Thanks for the torque settings! All other tutorials did not have those ether

[fxgold]

Awesome and thorough tutorial. Thank you

[lpapi]

Where can i get those fancy "locking Pliers"

[hhfi]

I like the detail, my only question is where did you find the strange vice grip/

[donaldhollums]

You’re the same Feller I’ve watched do films on the 1AAuto channel.

Hey i have 2015 chrysler town and country, my old strut has two refular holes on the button excatly to fit two bolts, and now that i look for new strut the bottom hole on all the struts is a bit wider and i cant find the same exact strut as my old with two regular holes without the bottom hole being adjusted! Maybe you have a link for exactly those struts that i need? If anything then i would need to find the bolts with washers that can be adjusted
