Hey how about actually showing removal of the strut mount and bushings you only showed half the stuff needed

[Cmlumley]

Awesome video, thanks for mentioning the wrench sizes.

SLOW DOWN a little, remove, remove, remove, jack, tighten, remove, jack, tighten. The only thing I got was LMR

[timsimons]

Did you reuse the dust boot? I have the same set up. Slow down speedy. lol

I just got an 87 Thunderbird, this is the closest thing I can find on replacing the front shocks

[panzerace]

Do you have a full list of all the suspension parts you replaced? I have a '91 lx that is in need of refurbishment and I want to know everything that would help in the suspension department.

[Tuka-]

dont mean to be rude but torque specs for hardware?

[CitysAndHeroes]

Wondering if these struts would fit a foxbody thunderbird as well.

[deliverydude]

Do these work well on a lowered fox? 2 inches lower than stock to be exact

[Tokendog]

What caster camber plate is that at 2:29?

Question

I have a 86 gt with koni red adjustable. Dose anyone make spacers so I can keep these when I upgrade to 88 gt spindle's and brakes?

[murphy]

Why won't these work on an earlier fox body?

[ralphwaters]

Every time I've replaced the struts on my '87 GT, I've had to tweak the toe-in. As for brands, I hear good things about Koni and I've personally had good results from KYB too. Monroe shocks & struts will keep your tires from cupping, but they are way too soft and bouncy for my taste so I would not recommend them to any car enthusiast...

Hey Late Model Resto, i'm having problems with getting the front shocks in place, i ended up ordering FRONT SPRING INSTALLATION TOOL MMT-8 from Maximum Motorsports, but is there any other way i could get them in with ease?

[matrixbikes]

B.S!!! You do not show the major thing. The spacers!!!

[jorgejimenez]

Will these work for a 1988 2.3L or do I have to change anything for them to fit
