Very representative of my Subaru. Look at all that rust!

@chimichanga_ubermensch says:

please have a couple prybars of varying lengths and maybe even a really long screwdriver, yes the vehicle in this video is tetanus waiting to happen, but getting the camber to bolt to line back up was such a pain.

@Samuel-om6dw says:

The camber bolt had the washer on the front shocks. She said the washer goes on bottom bolt.

Are The struts sane for 2016 and 2017 or 2018?

Excellent instructive video. Great job and directions are easy to follow. Thank You:)

@Eagle11234 says:

You should use never seize on the bolts.

@canyonspiritphotoandfilm7723 says:

Top bolt is the one that actually uses the washer.
