Very nice thank you
You did not torque the bottom bolt you impacted it which you can never know if it is correct torque! I had to play it back to make sure she did that.
I died when she said parked her car in Harvard yard
When tightening a bolt/nut assembly I always tighten with the nut, the transfer of torque is different, also when using a torque wrench I always slowly apply force to the wrench until it clicks. momentum while using a torque wrench changes the real value of force applied to the fastener. Overall a great video that shows how the job is done. Thank you.
Great informative video. Thanks
Good but Sloppy! Im surprised 1A submitted this
After changing out my old struts to bilstein 5100’s and changing my upper control arms I can’t get the knuckle and upper control arm to match up. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Hey can I bring my 2013 F-150 in. You guys can do a whole front end suspension swap on it. I won’t charge you anything to use my truck
2009 Ford F150 XL SCREW. Passenger side strut blew and leaked fluid everywhere. I do quite a bit of repairs myself but was thinking of taking to a local shop. I will tackle this myself after watching this video. What I like most about this video is it is not heavily edited, removing some of the pain points of repair. All of the little "gotchas" and pain points are still in this video giving it a realistic expectation. Well done!
The strut on my 2014 does NOT have a single lower bolt. It has 2 bolts that point downward.
I have watched several of these videos, none show having a problem getting the struts out. I am having to use a spring compressor to get them out and it is not easy.
Damn. Away to go ford. Get the truck apart to replace the shocks.
Great video, but watching you our everything back together without cleaning up the rusted bits with some PB blaster and a wire brush first was a bit painful. Also surprised you didn’t put a dab of anti-seize on that large lower bolt.
Finally: if you’re going to replace the spring and strut, may as well replace the sway bar too while you’re at it.
