Thank you so much! Very informative! I have the repair book and it is not even as clear as you fine sir. If you ever need computer help look me up on Youtube. Thanks again!
Do you have to get a front end alignment after replacing the front struts?
I have an '02 Saturn L100 in need of new rear struts and springs. Problem is GM doesn't make the springs anymore, so I'll probably have to harvest them from a junk yard. Never did it before. Have you any videos or advice?
Hello, thank you for the video. When we got our 2006 Saturn Vue, the sway bar was gone and someone had welded the connectors but they broke off eventually and are just hanging. I need new struts on the front. Is this going to be a problem? A sway bar is 400 to 700. I have no way to get that. Thanks for any help you could give me.
Thanks a lot. You just saved me 700 bucks. Great video and everything worried out perfect. Thanks again.
Where can you bring parts in to have them put on like that? My Saturn Ion needs struts, I don't know how to do it myself and I can get the parts cheaper than the mechanic is willing to. Also, if I wanted to do it myself how difficult would it be to do being that I have never done it before? I'd buy the quick struts. Thank you for any info!
hi when the shock is off on the rear to replace the spring at the same time would you just lower the support to pull the spring out and replace with the new one? or is there something else holding the spring in place?
Great video. Thanks for the information. I am going to be replacing the fuel pump on my wife's 07 Vue. By far the biggest job I have ever taken on but I have been doing a lot of research. Any pointers you might have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
What do you suggest for use for the Quickstruts? Monroe? Sensen? FCS? Unity? Prices vary widely, as do reviews…. what do you use most often?
Jim, thanks for posting the video. Just finished the fronts today on my 07, i bought a impact gun for the job and so happy that I did. I believe I finished in less than 2 hours thanks to it. Subscribed!
Thanks Jim! That was easy and to the point. That's what most back yard mechanics are seeking when we hunt for a car repair video.
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU!! DOING THIS WEEKEND
Going to do the same setup on my wife's Saturn this weekend, Thanks for a great video hopefully everything with workout, but I will be doing it in my driveway with no air tools, should be good exercise!!!
thank you for the info
did my rear bearing but didn't support lower assembly think I might have snapped top bolt a slight clicking noise, thank great videos
Great informative video. My question is do you now need to do an alignment since struts were replaced?
Great video thanks. I'm a student and this video will save me hundreds. I got quoted for $3500 in maintenance today. That's more than the cost of my car. They can do the engine work (replacing the timing belt and related) but I'll be taking care of the suspension work. I always appreciate when experienced people share their knowledge.
Hi Jim, I am trying to replace the front sway bar on my 2004 Saturn VUE AWD. I have the the vehicle on jacks, front tires off, and sway bar links disconnected. Attempting to feed new sway bar in from the drivers side. It gets stuck between the upper side of the front frame and the center motor mount. I need aprox 1/4'' clearance. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks for your video. One question in mind. On the rear shocks there is a small hole or mark in the middle. Is there a difference when you put the shocks in if the hole or mark is outside or inside? I have seen a similar video who recommended that the mark has to be inside.
I love it if you tell us that anything can do with a normal ratchet or wrench, because i have no airgun 🙂
Greetings from Germany.
You're a good teacher!
Thank you.
Thanks Jim, as always I learned something.
I finally beat Steve Rob from commenting before me…nice vid Jim… I was looking through your video's do you have a video of you giving a tour of your shop?
great video Jim
