Thanks for making this video. I have the same job to tackle tomorrow for my 2007.Rendezvous. Thought it would be like this but until you see it for sure, its a little bit edgy….

Bryce Newell says:

You should do the rear coil

How to change the strut without changing the coil spring?

Robert Craane says:

the video is good but the passenger side top is what i seem to be stuck on i can only see one nut on fuse box it looks to be attached to the washer reservoir of course i'm working on a 2005 aztek which seems to be the same

Edward Borgen says:

Thanks for the video from one Yinzer to another. I have to do this job in a parking lot since the broken spring in almost hitting the tire. The info here will be a big help.

Michael Osweiler says:

To confirm, you do not need to compress the coil of the strut before removing it from the car? I am assuming this would be the same for a 2003 Aztek?

A 15mm ratchet wrench long style works wonders on this job.. Never removed wiper assembly.

Gwinn Chief says:

Thanks for the video, learn quickly how to do it and picked up a couple good tips.

Cassandra says:

I'm assuming that is a rust cap on the tower mount…do you know where it was acquired?

Thanks for the video. On your suggestion I got the ratcheting wrenches and it made a shirt work of the 6 top nuts, did the whole job in one hour. Nice!!!

Monica Rivera says:

Does this work on a 2007 rendezvous as well?

Robert Bills says:

I just did this job and I don't see how you could do the passenger side without moving the wiper motor or why you wouldn't move it just to avoid major frustration

Yea that job Sucked Azz ! LoL ~ Thanks for the great vid! ~ What a stupid freaking car design! They could have at least put in access panels! ~ Wrench for top bolts were 15mm and like he said you can do it with the wiper motor in place, don't even think about ratchets not gonna happen! I used a 7/8 on my bottom strut bolts and a breaker bar. patience patience patience LoL

Steven Haught says:

Do you have video on removing the coil spring and putting it on the new strut?

Adam J says:

Do you know what the torque on the upper and lower bots was for the struts?
