What size is the bottom strut bolt ?
So many jump cuts in this video. I definitely notice you removed the calipers and rotors prior to putting your axel nut back on. Must have been a seperate video.
You Guys have such Great Vids.
What is that spray that looks like paint?
On my 2005 ZX4 ST that's lived 16 year in CA I didn't have to undo the axle nut. I just put a short (~16") 2"x4" on the knuckle and hit the end of it with a sledge. Worked like a charm! Great video.
if he was more than a buck-twenty he could kick down on rotor to pop it off.
Hello.
How to raise the level of a Ford Focus from the front?
Thank you.
Watches video , goes to Ford dealer to get quality parts.
I do see a reason it's made in China and cannot see the internal differences. The outside similarity means nothing.
this is about the 8th 1A auto video I've seen.. and YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!.. smart technicians, very personable and knowledgeable!! THANK YOU for all your videos….
On a 2007 ford focus do i need to gett an alignment after new struts.
my wheel lug nut torque spec calls for 94 ftlbs as per the shop manual and the front torque spec calls for 233 ftlbs I have a 03 focus wagon 2.3L
Is this different from a 2009 focus? How so?
what do you do if the top 3 bolts will not line up properly? yes I bought the proper strut for my car from 1a auto. Do I just put strut in top and bolt down then twist bottom so it lines up or do I need to adjust top plate? (If I put top 3 bolts in so they all go through holes bottom of strut is off to the right or left of being straight about a 1/4 turn)
hi i been looking on your site for parts for my car but does not seem u stock ford falcon parts iam looking for upper and lower ball joints and ball joint press
lol u ment to loosen the top nuts first u did it in wrong order
Installed mine and they work but whenever it hits a bigger speed bump, it makes a loud thud like the strut is bottoming out. Any solution to this?
bought a full assembled strut from oreilleys got home took everything apart, set aside my old one, and couldn't fit the new in. examined the parts and it lacked that slight bevel at the bottom end of the strut. Sadly you skipped the hardest part of the process, getting the knuckle to line up with the new strut and slide in. im the only thumbs down unfortunately because you skipped the only reason i came to this video
