Im in love with this woman. Marry me. What a dream a woman that can work along side of me on a car. Great job
I was thinking you have to have the front end realigned after strut replacement. Is that the case?
Lifting that wheel with your knee–coolest thing ever.
Thanks for the instructions–convinced me to replace mine, too.
I love this woman Sue she is very lovely in many ways but for the life of me I can not understand why she is talking in mm last I checked New England was not in Europe. The curly hair is cute as a button though
What would cause my strut to come out of the housing alittle more then it should? I replaced the driver's and passenger side axle strut and the mounts
impressive teaching skills, and very safe to work. No power tools used which is a good way to teach others specially since improper use of them usually damage stuff.
spring compressor? Would that be something helpful? I may buy one.
My spring broke and top mount bearing seems to have broken this morning. I thought the car was sitting a little odd the last couple days.
Question: When reinstalling the strut assembly the nice young lady here mentions one has to push down fairly hard on the control arm while pushing up firmly on the strut bottom to align the bottom bolt. My question is – if the bottom of the control arm is already supported by the jack stand as she did in the early part of the video – How will one be able to push down fairly hard on the control arm? Any comment/help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Was concerned seeing how much the CV joint was moving in and out during this part of the procedure. Had a joint pop out too much doing this on a Camry.
Support point for tilting down is choosed wrong. In this way you can damage a shield (thin metal plate behind brake disc) that in later can corode and lead to abs sensor damage or even abs ring damage.
I personally lug all nuts in place and use soft wooden blocks under brake disc. This will not damage it, if placed carefuly.
Sorry for my english.
I just have to say a huge thank you for this video. I am not necessarily comfortable with mechanics, but I can follow directions and this video was exactly what I needed. I just changed my shocks on my 07 Volvo XC70 with only the help of this video. She was clear and concise.
Thank you very much for putting the time into sharing with us!
Great video. I have a favorite new YouTube mechanic! And Sue did this all without a single power tool! And being from Massachusetts myself I could understand her! Great job, Sue!
